Running is a kinetic energy

When a person runs, their body must convert potential energy into kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy stored within a system. Potential energy is used when the system uses kinetic energy to move in a horizontal direction. In the human body, potential energy is stored in the form of chemical energy.

Consider two objects (Object 1 and Object 2) moving in the same direction on a frictionless surface. Object 1 moves with speed v

d1i1m1o1n [39]

1) A) Object 1 has the greater momentum

The magnitude of the momentum of an object is given by:

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

Object 1 has a mass of $m_1 = 2m$ and a speed of $v_1 = v$ , so its momentum is

$p_1 = m_1 v_1 = (2m)(v)=2mv$

Object 2 has a mass of $m_2 = m$ and a speed of $v_2 = \sqrt{2} v$ , so its momentum is

$p_2 = m_2 v_2 = (m)(\sqrt{2} v)=\sqrt{2}mv$

So we see that $p_1 > p_2$ , so object 1 has the greater momentum.

2) The objects have the same kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

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

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

Object 1 has a mass of $m_1 = 2m$ and a speed of $v_1 = v$ , so its kinetic energy is

$K_1 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2m)(v)^2=mv^2$

Object 2 has a mass of $m_2 = m$ and a speed of $v_2 = \sqrt{2} v$ , so its kinetic energy is

$K_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2 v_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}(m)(\sqrt{2} v)^2=mv^2$

So we see that $K_1 =K_2$ , so the objects have same kinetic energy

Please help with this?!?!?!?!?!?!

Tema [17]

Answer:B

Explanation:A is wrong, because there are multiple suns, not just one

C is wrong, because the universe is not known as the milky way, just our solar system. D is wrong, because the universe isnt gradually getting smaller, its gradually getting bigger, and yeah, the universe is mainly empty space, So B

What is the speed between reflected ray and the incident ray

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The speed is the same as long as the reflection is regular.

Explanation:

This is because in regular reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection in accordance with the second law of reflection.

Since speed of light depends on the angle of the light ray it makes with the reflecting surface, the speed is the same

If vector A=2i+3j-k and vector B=4i+6j-2k. The angle between them will be: a) 0°b)45°c)90°d)60°

melomori [17]

Notice that

B = 4i + 6j - 2k = 2 (2i + 3j - k) = 2A

so both vectors point in the same direction and the angle between them is (A) 0°.
