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

Physics

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.

The sun's properties (luminosity, size, and temperature) have not changed much over the last 4.6 billion years. what do you thin
Vikentia [17]

The answer is; The sun will turn into a red giant


This occurs as the hydrogen fuel in the fusion core of the sun begins to deplete. When the hydrogen fuel is depleted, the star begins to collapse on itself due to gravity. This pressure causes the heavier helium to begin fusing in the area around the core.  The stars begin to heat up again producing enough energy to push out the outer shells of the star. This causes the star to expand. The outer shells become less hot hence the decrease in luminosity of red giants.

What is the wavelength, in nm, of a photon with energy
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

(a)  λ = 4136 nm → infrared

(b) λ = 413.6 nm → visible light

(c) λ = 41.36 nm → ultraviolet

Explanation:

The wavelength of infrared is on the range of 700 nm to 1000000 nm

The wavelength of visible light is between 400 nm and 700 nm

The wavelength of ultraviolet ray on the range of 10 nm to 400 nm

The wavelength of photon is given by;

E = hf

f is the frequency of the wave = c / λ

E = h\frac{c}{\lambda}\\\\ \lambda = \frac{hc}{E}

Where;

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

(a) 0.3 eV = 0.3 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

\lambda = \frac{(6.626 * 10^{-34})(3*10^8)}{(0.3)*(1.602*10^{-19})}\\\\\lambda = 4.136 *10^{-6} \ m

λ = 4136 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 4136 nm → infrared

(b) 3.0 eV

\lambda = \frac{(6.626 * 10^{-34})(3*10^8)}{(3)*(1.602*10^{-19})}\\\\\lambda = 4.136 *10^{-7} \ m

λ = 413.6 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 413.6 nm →visible light

(c) 30 eV

\lambda = \frac{(6.626 * 10^{-34})(3*10^8)}{(30)*(1.602*10^{-19})}\\\\\lambda = 4.136 *10^{-8} \ m

λ = 41.36 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 41.36 nm →ultraviolet

A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end
IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.
