Answer:

the kinetic energy is 120 J

Explanation:

a. The computation of the kinetic energy before it strikes the glove is as follows:

As we know that

The Kinetic energy is

=  1 ÷ 2 × m × v^2

= 1 ÷ 2 × (0.15)(40^2)

= 120 J

Hence, the kinetic energy is 120 J

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

acceleration = 0.022 m/s^2

distance = 8.3 x 10^7 m

speed = 1.9 x 10 ^3 m/s

Explanation:

the parameters given are:

mass = 900kg

force = 20N

  • from the formula force = mass x acceleration

acceleration = force / mass

acceleration = 20 / 900

acceleration = 0.022 m/s^2

  • distance travelled in 1 day (86,400 seconds) = (1/2) x a x t^2

   (1/2) x 0.022 x (86,400^2) = 8.3 x 10^7 m

  • speed of the sun yatch (v) = a x t

0.22 x 86400 = 1.9 x 10 ^3 m/s

g The speed of light in a vacuum is larger for short wavelength electromagnetic waves. larger for high frequency electromagnetic
Orlov [11]

Answer:

A constant value everywhere in the universe.

Explanation:

The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant value. It is not affected by change in frequency or wavelength of the light.

Mathematically the speed of light is given as:

c = λf

where λ = wavelength and f - frequency

The speed of light is the constant of proportionality between frequency and wavelength. In order words, wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.

While the change in wavelength and frequency of light affect the energy of the light, its speed is a constant value as long as the medium is a vacuum.

The speed of light is also not dependent on the manner with which the light wave is moving.

In a circus act, a 70 kg clown is shot from a cannon with an initial velocity of 17 m/s at some unknown angle above the horizont
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

K_{2}=7302.4J

Explanation:

Given the initial velocity of the clown, his mass and final height we can calculate the final kinetic energy using the <em><u>conservation of total mechanical energy</u></em>

K_{1}+U_{1}=K_{2}+U_{2}

K_{2}=K_{1}+U_{1}-U_{2}

K_{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{1}^{2}+mgh_{1}-mgh_{2}

Since h_{1}=0

K_{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{1}^{2}-mgh_{2}

K_{2}=\frac{1}{2}(70kg)(17m/s)^2-(70kg)(9.8m/s^2)(4.1m)=7302.4J

K_{2}=7302.4J
