Answer:

Ek = 1705.28 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must remember that kinetic energy can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}

where:

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

Ek = kinetic energy [J] (Units of Joules)

<u>For the person running</u>

<u />E_{k} =\frac{1}{2}*52.2*(3.5)^{2} \\ E_{k} =319.72[J]<u />

<u />

<u>For the bullet</u>

<u />E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}<u />

<u />E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} *0.02*(450)^{2} \\E_{k}=2025 [J]<u />

<u />

The difference in Kinetic energy is equal to:

Ek = 2025 - 319.72

Ek = 1705.28 [J]

A vertical spring gun is used to launch balls into the air. If the spring is compressed by 4.9 cm, the ball of mass 5.5 g is lau
AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh

Therefore,

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}

Putting given values, we get :

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

True or false? All waves need a medium in order to travel
Art [367]
That's false.  Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider
julia-pushkina [17]

There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude.  This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two main forms of energy which are:

  • Potential energy
  • Kinetic energy

Chemical energy energy is a form of potential energy produced through chemical reactions. A car battery is an electrochemical that converts chemical energy into electrical energy for use in the iPod. The battery is made up of electrodes through which electron flows in one direction and current is generated by the potential difference set up

Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy that tends to pull all bodies to the center of the earth. It is an attractive force.

Electrical energy is a form of energy produced through the flow of electric current in a body. As the positive charge moves away from the strong negative plate, an electric current is produced.

Elastic energy is a potential energy stored in elastic bodies that can be stretched and are not plastic.
