Which example has the least kinetic energy

Physics
1 answer:
Stells [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Let’s calculate the kinetic energy for all of the choices.

a. (1/2)(100)(100)^2 = 50(10000)=500,000

b. (1/2)(100)(1)^2 = 50

c. (1/2)(10)(100)^2 = 5(10000) = 50,000

d. (1/2)(1)(1)^2 = 0.5

We can see that (d) has the least kinetic energy.

A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.

<span>R = rate of flow = 0.370 L/s H = height = 2.9 m T= time = 3.9 s V = velocity of water when it hits the bucket = sqrt(2gh) = sqrt(2 x 9.8 x 2.9) =7.539 m/s2 G value = 9.8 m/s2 Wb = weight of bucket = 0.690 kg x 9.8 m/s2 = 6.762 N Wa = weight of accumulated water after 3.9 s Fi = force of impact of water on the bucket S = reading on the scale = Wa + Wb + Fi mass of water accumulated after 3.9 s = R x T = 0.370 x 3.9 = 1.443 L = 1.443 kg Therefore, Wa = 1.443 x 9.8 = 14.1414 N Fi = rate of change of momentum at the impact point = R x V (because R = dm/dt) = 0.37 x 7.539 = 2.78943 N S = 14.1414 + 6.762 + 2.78943 = 23.692 N</span>

the pygmy shrew has an average mass of 2.0 g if 49 of these shrew are placed on a spring scale with a spring constant of 24 N/m
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Spring's displacement, x = -0.04 meters.

Explanation:

Let the spring's displacement be x.

Given the following data;

Mass of each shrew, m = 2.0 g to kilograms = 2/1000 = 0.002 kg

Number of shrews, n = 49

Spring constant, k = 24 N/m

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the spring's displacement;

At equilibrium position:

Fnet = Felastic + Fg = 0

But, Felastic = -kx

Total mass, Mt = nm

Fg = -Mt = -nmg

-kx -nmg = 0

Rearranging, we have;

kx = -nmg

Making x the subject of formula, we have;

x = \frac {-nmg}{k}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

x = \frac {-49*0.002*9.8}{24}

x = \frac {-0.9604}{24}

x = -0.04 m

Therefore, the spring's displacement is -0.04 meters.

To determine the types of equipment your boat must carry, you need to make a measurement of the boat. What is this measurement?
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

In total, the length is measured from the tip of the bow in a linear fashion to the stern of the formation of delight including any back-deck extensions. The measurement involves bow sprits; rudders; detachable engines and engine sections; handles; and various fittings and connections.

Importance in calculating a boat's length:

it affects the transportation costs (the longer the length, the higher the cost).   The pontoon's length counts as you find out how much rope you need to wrestle.  

The cost of vessel settlement on marinas depends in part on the pontoon length. As more area is consumed by a more drawn pontoon, the docking charges are higher.  

Transportation guidelines will probably not allow pontoons past a specific length on specific occasions of the day.

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wavecrest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 50.0 s. Thed
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

(a) T = 10 s

(b) f = 0.1 Hz

(c) λ = 32 m

(d) v = 3.2 m/s

(e) Insufficient data

Explanation:

(a)

Time period is defined as the time interval required for one wave to pass. Therefore, the time period can be given as:

T = Period = Time Taken/No. of Waves

T = 50 s/5

<u>T = 10 s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Frequency is the reciprocal of time period:

f = frequency = 1/T

f = 1/10 s

<u>f = 0.1 Hz</u>

<u></u>

(c)

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs:

<u>λ = Wavelength = 32 m</u>

<u></u>

(d)

Speed of wave is given by the following formula:

Speed = v = fλ

v = (0.1 Hz)(32 m)

v = 3.2 m/s

(e)

Amplitude cannot be found with given data.
