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 positively charged objectwith a mass of 0.114 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency) r

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

k = 167.33 N/m

Explanation:

The radio waves have a fixed relationship between the propagation speed (the speed of light in vacuum), the frequency and the wavelength, as follows:
v = c = λ*f

where c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s, λ = wavelength =

4.92*10⁷ m.

Solving for f, we get the frequency of the radio waves:

f = 6.1 Hz

Now, from the Hooke's law, we know that the mass attached at the end of the spring oscillates with an angular frequency defined by a fixed relationship between the spring constant k and the mass m, as follows:

$\omega_{o}^{2} =\frac{k}{m} (1)$

Now, we know that there exists a fixed relationship between the angular frequency and the frequency, as follows:

$\omega = 2*\pi *f (2)$

We also know that f in (2) is the same that we got for the radio waves, so replacing (2) in (1), and rearranging terms, we can solve for k, as follows:
$k = 4*\pi ^{2}*f^{2} *m = 4*\pi ^{2} * (6.1Hz)^{2} * 0.114 kg = 167.33 N/m$

The Pacific is loosely shaped like a triangle, opening widely to the south but barely at all to the north, while the Atlantic is shaped like an hourglass with the choke point located very loosely at the equator (somewhat south of it in the west).

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 3.18 m away from a waterfall 0.294 m in heigh

Karolina [17]

Answer:

v = 7.65 m/s

t = 0.5882 s

Explanation:

We are told that the salmon started downstream, 3.18 m away from a waterfall.

Thus, range = 3.18 m

Since the horizontal velocity component is constant, then;

Range = vcosθ × t

Thus,

vcosθ × t = 3.18 - - - (eq 1)

We are told the salmon reached a height of 0.294 m

Thus, using distance equation;

s = v_y•t + ½gt²

g will be negative since motion is against gravity.

s = v_y•t - ½gt²

Thus;

0.294 = v_y•t - ½gt²

v_y = vsinθ

Thus;

0.294 = vtsinθ - ½gt² - - - (eq 2)

From eq(1), making v the subject, we have;

v = 3.18/tcosθ

Plugging into eq 2,we have;

0.294 = (3.18/tcosθ)tsinθ - ½gt²

0.295 = 3.18tanθ - ½gt²

We are given g = 9.81 m/s² and θ = 45°

0.295 = (3.18 × tan 45) - ½(9.81) × t²

0.295 = 3.18 - 4.905t²

3.18 - 0.295 = 4.905t²

4.905t² = 2.885

t = √2.885/4.905

t = 0.5882 s

Thus;

v = 3.18/(0.5882 × cos45)

v = 7.65 m/s
