How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?

1 answer:

6 0

The equation for kinetic energy is KE=1/2mv^2
So if the small vehicle AND the large vehicle both had the same speed, the large vehicle would have more kinetic energy since it has greater mass, resulting in a much more larger stopping distance than the smaller car.

What is the force in N of an object that has a mass of 7 kilograms and an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

VMariaS [17]

Newton's 2nd law of motion: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If you want to move a 7-kg object with an acceleration of 4 m/s²,
then you will need to push it with (7 x 4) = 28 newtons of force.

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

$\epsilon = BvL sin \theta$
