Answer:

v = 15,267 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

Is the type of energy of an object due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The formula to calculate the kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

m = mass

v = speed

The kinetic energy is often expressed in Joules (J)

We are given the mass of a fly m=0.638 g and we need to calculate its speed in order to have a kinetic energy of 74354.5 J.

Converting:

m=0.638 g /1000 = 0.000638 kg

To find the speed, we solve the formula for v:

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{2*74354.5}{0.000638}}$

v = 15,267 m/s

(The fly should move faster than a rocket)

masha68 [24]

Answer:

because speed is the modulus of velocity which is a vector

the velocity to be zero it must be a round trip

Explanation:

This is because speed is the modulus of velocity which is a vector.

For the velocity to be zero it must be a round trip, therefore the resulting vector zero

On the other hand, the speed of the module is the same in both directions

A pendulum consists of a stone with mass m swinging on a string of length L and negligible mass. The stone has a speed of v0 whe

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(a) $v = \sqrt{ mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))}$

(b) $\theta = \arccos(\frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL})$

Explanation:

(a) The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

$K_A + U_A = K_B + U_B\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgh \\h = L - L\cos(\theta) = L(1 - \cos\theta)\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 - mgL(1-\cos(\theta))\\v^2 = mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))\\v = \sqrt{ mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))}$

(b) The conservation of energy states

$K_A + U_A = K_M + U_M\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + 0 = 0 + mgL(1-\cos(\theta))\\1-\cos(\theta) = \frac{v_0^2}{2gL}\\\cos(\theta) = 1-\frac{v_0^2}{2gL} = \frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL}\\\theta = \arccos(\frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL})$

(c) As explained in part (a) the total mechanical energy of the system is equal to the initial kinetic energy, since the potential energy of the system at that point is zero.

$E_{total}= K_A + U_A = K_A + 0\\E_{total} = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$

Hardness is indirectly related to: specific gravity surface roughness strength of chemical bonds weight

Zepler [3.9K]

The strength of chemical bonds would be the best answer to this question. Hardness is indirectly related to the strength of chemical bonds. Hardness is the resistance from the destruction of an object itself from a material. Hardness does not need to strength of chemical bonds in order to have this resistance.

Curtis, a student in our class, makes the following statement: The puck reached a slightly higher location on the ramp than I pr

Sindrei [870]

Answer and Explanation: No, the explanation is not plausible. The puck sliding on the ice is an example of the Principle of Conservation of Energy, which can be enunciated as "total energy of a system is constant. It can be changed or transferred but the total is always the same".

When a player hit the pluck, it starts to move, gaining kinetic energy (K). As it goes up a ramp, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy (P) increases until it reaches its maximum. When potential energy is maximum, kinetic energy is zero and vice-versa.

So, at the beginning of the movement the puck only has kinetic energy. At the end, it gains potential energy until its maximum.

The representation is as followed:

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

$K_{i}+0=0+P_{f}$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = mgh$

As we noticed, mass of the object can be cancelled from the equation, making height be:

$h=\frac{v^{2}}{2g}$

So, the height the puck reaches depends on velocity and acceleration due to gravity, not mass of the puck.
