Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Doubling the speed will quadruple the kinetic energy. The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is: This means that the factor by which kinetic energy increases is the square of the factor by which speed or velocity increases for a given object.

Answer: The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, so doubling the speed increases the kinetic energy by a factor of 4.

If the momentum of an object is doubled, but its mass does not increase (so velocity remains well below the speed of light), then its velocity is doubled. If the velocity is doubled then the kinetic energy increases by the square of 2, or four time. Hence kinetic energy of the body will be 4 times to its eirlier value.

A bicycle rider pushes a 13kg bicycle up a steep hill. the incline is 24 degree and the road is 275m long. the rider pushes the

Digiron [165]

Answer:

A. W = 6875.0 J.

B. W = -14264.6 J.

Explanation:

A. The work done by the rider can be calculated by using the following equation:

$W_{r} = |F_{r}|*|d|*cos(\theta_{1})$

Where:

$F_{r}$ : is the force done by the rider = 25 N

d: is the distance = 275 m

θ: is the angle between the applied force and the distance

Since the applied force is in the same direction of the motion, the angle is zero.

$W_{r} = |F_{r}|*|d|*cos(0) = 25 N*275 m = 6875.0 J$

Hence, the rider does a work of 6875.0 J on the bike.

B. The work done by the force of gravity on the bike is the following:

$W_{g} = |F_{g}|*|d|*cos(\theta_{2})$

The force of gravity is given by the weight of the bike.

$F_{g} = -mgsin(24)$

And the angle between the force of gravity and the direction of motion is 180°.

$W_{g} = |mgsin(24)|*|d|*cos(\theta_{2})$

$W_{g} = 13 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*sin(24)*275 m*cos(180) = -14264.6 J$

The minus sign is because the force of gravity is in the opposite direction to the motion direction.

Therefore, the magnitude of the work done by the force of gravity on the bike is 14264.6 J.

I hope it helps you!

dexar [7]

Answer:

t = 25 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 115 m

Initial speed, u = 4.2 m/s

Final speed, v = 5 m/s

We need to find the time taken in increasing the speed.

We know that,

Acceleration, $a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$ ....(1)

The third equation of kinematics is as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\\text{Put the value of a in above equation}\\\\v^2-u^2=2\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times d\\\\\because (a^2-b^2)=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\(v-u)(v+u)=\dfrac{2\times (v-u)d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{2d}{v+u}\\\\\text{Putting all the values}\\\\t=\dfrac{2\times 115}{4.2+5}\\\\t=25\ s$

Hence, it will take 25 seconds to increase the speed.
