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

Physics
1 answer:
zhannawk [14.2K]3 years ago
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.

Is it possible for a baseball to have as large a momentum as a much more massive bowling ball
kirza4 [7]
Yes it is possible. Momentum is calculated by the mass of the object times its velocity.
For example, say a bowling ball weighs 3.0kg and is travelling at a speed of 3.0m/s. Its momentum would be 3.0×3.0=9.0 kg·m/s.
Now say we have a baseball weighing 0.20kg and it is travelling at a speed of 47.0m/s. Its momentum would be 0.20×47.0=9.4 kg·m/s, which is more than that of the bowling ball.

The compass uses a pendulous system to improve?
ivanzaharov [21]

The compass is designed and developed to use a pendulous system to improve horizontality.

<h3>What is a compass?</h3>

A compass can be defined as a scientific instrument that contains a magnetized pointer, which is used to show and indicate the following four (4) main cardinal directions:

  • North (N)
  • South (S)
  • West (W)
  • East (E)

Basically, the compass is a scientific instrument that's designed and developed to use a pendulous system to improve horizontality.

For #2.
(A) The resultant velocity of the boat is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the sides being the river and boat velocities.
The Pythagorean theorem: h^2 = a^2 + b^2
then you can use: soh cah toa to find any angles.
(B) The river velocity is not opposing the direction of travel, it increases the boats velocity from 2m/s to 2.5m/s
