If the speed of an object is doubled, what happens to its kinetic energy?

Physics
2 answers:
asambeis [7]3 years ago

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.

Explanation:

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.

4. A trolley of mass 2kg rests next to a trolley of mass 3 kg on a flat
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

A brick is dropped from a big scaffold. What is its velocity after 4.0s?
Flura [38]

The velocity of the brick is 39.2 m/s downward

Explanation:

The motion of the brick is a free fall motion, since the object is affected only by the force of gravity. Therefore, it has a uniformly accelerated motion towards the ground, with constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2.

So, we can find its velocity using the suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the brick in this problem (taking downward as positive direction)

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, its velocity after t = 4.0 s is:

v=0+(9.8)(4.0)=39.2 m/s

Downward, because the sign is positive.

Convection is the rising of
Ad libitum [116K]

Since the outer plumage of the penguin can resist the flow of heat in the cold antarctic air they might gain a little of this heat to keep them warm by thermal convection.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Convection is the circular movement that happens when hot air/liquid moves with molecules that were fast, making it less dense rises while the cold air/liquid drops down.
  • Also, they follow the technique of standing together always in a group which further helps them to decrease the loss of heat between them.
  • The plumage of penguin provides 80 percent of total insulation and is highly resistant to wind penetration.

The frequency of a microwave signal is 9.76 ghz. what is its wavelength? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)
dolphi86 [110]
The basic relationship between frequency of an electromagnetic wave and wavelength of the wave is
c = \lambda f
where c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light.

Manipulating the equation, we can rewrite it as
\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}

The frequency of the wave in our problem is
9.76 GHz = 9.76 \cdot 10^9 Hz
so if we use the previous formula, we find the correspondant wavelength:
\lambda =  \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{9.76 \cdot 10^9 Hz} =0.031 m
