Answer:

(a)  the runner's kinetic energy at the given instant is 308 J

(b)  the kinetic energy increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the runner, m = 64.1 kg

speed of the runner, u = 3.10 m/s

(a) the kinetic energy of the runner at this instant is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mu^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2}  \times 64.1 \times 3.1^2\\\\K.E_i = 308 \ J

(b) when the runner doubles his speed, his final kinetic energy is calculated as;

K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} mu_f^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} m(2u)^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \times 64.1 \ \times (2\times 3.1)^2\\\\K.E_f = 1232 \ J

the change in the kinetic energy is calculated as;

\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_i} = \frac{1232}{308} =4

Thus, the kinetic energy increased by a factor of 4.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1 kg pie traveling at a speed of 4 m/s?
Veronika [31]
We have: K.E. = mv² / 2
Here, m = 1 Kg
v = 4 m/s

Substitute their values in the formula, 
K.E. = 1×4² / 2
K.E. = 16/ 2
K.E. = 8 J

Finally, answer of your question would be 8 Joules.

Hope this helps!

In a solution,a Is the substance being dissolved
Elena-2011 [213]
In a solution, a SOLUTE is the substance being dissolved.

In a solution, a SOLVENT is the substance in which something is dissolved.

For example in salt water, the salt is the solute. And the water is the solvent. Usually, which substance has a larger amount in the solution can be called a solvent. It doesn't matter if it's a gas, solid, or liquid. They can all be solute or solvents.

After a match has burned which of these is not proof that a chemical reaction occurred?
mixas84 [53]
In my estimation I would say C, I was leaning towards A, but I believe that would merely be "incomplete combustion." I hope this was semi-helpful!
