Which will result in a greater increase in kinetic energy, doubling the velocity or doubling the mass.

1 answer:

6 0

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Therefore, kinetic energy is dependent on both mass of the body and the velocity. An increase in mass increases the kinetic energy, an increase in velocity also increases kinetic energy of the body. Thus, doubling the mass and doubling the velocity will both increase the kinetic energy of the body.

The weight of a metal bracelet is measured to be 0.10400 N in air and 0.08400 N when immersed in water. Find its density.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The density of the metal is 5200 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight in air= 0.10400 N

Weight in water = 0.08400 N

We need to calculate the density of metal

Let $\rho_{m}$ be the density of metal and $\rho_{w}$ be the density of water is 1000kg/m³.

V is volume of solid.

The weight of metal in air is

$W =0.10400\ N$

$mg=0.10400$

$\rho V g=0.10400$

$Vg=\dfrac{0.10400}{\rho_{m}}$ .....(I)

The weight of metal in water is

Using buoyancy force

$F_{b}=0.10400-0.08400$

$F_{b}=0.02\ N$

We know that,

$F_{b}=\rho_{w} V g$ ....(I)

Put the value of $F_{b}$ in equation (I)

$\rho_{w} Vg=0.02$

Put the value of Vg in equation (II)

$\rho_{w}\times\dfrac{0.10400}{\rho_{m}}=0.02$

$1000\times\dfrac{0.10400}{0.02}=\rho_{m}$

$\rho_{m}=5200\ kg/m^3$

Hence, The density of the metal is 5200 kg/m³.

A compound microscope is equipped with two objective lenses (10x and 45x) and has a 10x ocular lens. The highest magnification a

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

450X

Explanation:

When a specimen is been viewed, both

objective and ocular lenses works together so that the object is magnified.

From the question,objective lenses are;

1)10x

2)45x

ocular lens= 10x

Highest magnification

= 10X ocular × 45X objective

=450X

This implies that the image that was viewed will appear 450 times the actual size.

How will the motion of the arrow change after it leaves the bow?

Pavel [41]

The string moves to the right, as it restores its original position with the median plane of the bow. As a result, the string "pulls" on the arrow with a force F2. 2. The tip of the arrow T moves slightly to the left.

If the mass of the object is doubled and the speed is halved then kinetic energy will change by a factor of:

madam [21]

Answer:

kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2

Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

Kinetic energy = 1/2.mv²

given that mass of the object is doubled; m1 = 2m

speed is halved; v1 = V/2

Now, New kinetic energy will be; 1/2.m1v1²

we substitute

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v/2)²

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v²/4)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m × (v²/2)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ 1/2mv² ]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ KE ]

Therefore; kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2

Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer
