The Kentucky Derby is one of the most exciting horse races run every year. In 1973, the horse Secretariat set a record that stil

l stands. This 500-kg horse ran the 2000-m track in 120 s. What was Secretariat's average kinetic energy? (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Answer:

69.44kJ

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv^2

m is the mass = 500kg

v is the velocity

Get the velocity;

v = displacement/time

velocity = 2000/120

velcoity = 16.7m/s

Gt the kinetic energy

KE = 1/2 * 500 * 16.7²

KE = 250*277.78

KE = 69,444.4Joules

Since 1000J = 1kJ

69,444.4Joules = 69,444.4/1000

69,444.4Joules = 69.44kJ

Hence the Secretariat's average kinetic energy is  69.44kJ

In an inelastic collision, as compared to an elastic collision, what is to be expected?.
motikmotik
The loss or conservation of kinetic energy is the difference between an elastic and an inelastic collision. Kinetic energy is not preserved in an inelastic collision, and it will change forms into sound, heat, radiation, or another form. The kinetic energy in an elastic collision is preserved and does not change forms.

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.4 m/s^2 for 3.39 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of the 3
kolbaska11 [484]

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket, u = 0

Acceleration of the rocket, a=25.4\ m/s^2

Time taken, t = 3.39 s

Let v is the final velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuels. Using the equation of kinematics as :

v=u+at

v=25.4\times 3.39=86.10\ m/s    

Let x is the initial position of the rocket. Using third equation of kinematics as :

v^2=u^2+2ax_o

x_o=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}

x_o=\dfrac{86.10^2}{2\times 25.4}=145.92\ m  

Let x_o is the position at the maximum height. Again using equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2a(x-x_o)

Now a=-g and v and u will interchange

u^2=2g(x-x_o)

x=x_o+\dfrac{u^2}{2g}

x=145.92+\dfrac{(86.10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

x = 524.14 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects having mass m₁ and m₂ at a distance R

F = G m₁ m₂ / R²

Force between baby and father F₁ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 4.1 x 120 / .18²

= 1.01 x 10⁻⁶ N

b )

Force between baby and Jupiter

F₂ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 1.9x 10²⁷ x 4.1 / ( 6.29 x 10¹¹ )²

= 1.31 x 10⁻⁶  N

c )

Ratio = 1.01 / 1.31

= .77
