Answer:
This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,
Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of the object
If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;
K1 = 1/2mv²
For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;
K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²
K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)
K2 = (3m)(8v²)
K2 = 24mv²
To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;
K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²
K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)
K2/K1 = 48
K2 = 48K1
This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.
Answer:
P = 0
Explanation:
Momentum is defined as the quentity of motion contained in a body. Mathematically, it can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. So, in order to determine the Volkswagen Beetle, at rest, we can use the simple formula, as follows:
where,
P = Momentum of Volkswagen Beetle = ?
m = Mass of Volkswagen Beetle = 750 kg
v = Velocity of Volkswagen Beetle = 0 m/s (since, it is at rest)
Therefore,
P =
The greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has, so the object resists changes to its motion better.
