Answer:

V = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 80kg

Kinetic energy = 16,000 joules

To find the velocity;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

16000 = ½*80*V²

16000 = 40V²

V² = 16000/40

V² = 400

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

V = 20 m/s

a. The graph of the function is attached

b. 4 units of time

c. Even

d. 4.935 J/kg

e. 1.234 W/kg

<h3>How can the factors of the wave be found?</h3>

a. Please find attached the graph of the signal created with GeoGebra

b. The period of the signal, T = 2•π/(π/2) = 4

c. The signal is even, given that it is symmetrical about the y-axis

d. The energy of the signal is given by the formula;

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot \mu^{2} \cdot \omega ^{2} \cdot \: {a}^{2} \times \lambda$

Which gives;

E = 0.5 × 1.571² × 1² × 4 = 4.935 J/kg

e. The power of the wave is given by the formula;

E = 0.5 × 1.571² × 1² × 4 × 0.25 = 1.234 W/kg

A block of wood mass 0.60kg is balanced on top of a vertical port 2.0m high. A 10gm bullet is fired horizontally into the block

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Mass of bullet is m=0.01kg

Mass of the block is M=4kg

Coefficient=0.25,distance=20m

So, let the speed of the block just after the bullet embedded in it be V and v be the speed of bullet before striking the block,

By applying conservation of momentum,

mv=(m+M)V

M+m

A cyclist travels 36km in 3 hours. What is the cyclist’s average speed?

dybincka [34]

To determine what the cyclists average speed is, simply divide the distance the cyclist has travelled by the time the cyclist has traveled for.

Assuming that this is the average rate the cyclist is moving at it would be 12 km/hr.

An observer sitting at a bus stop sees the bus drive by at 30 m/s to the east. He also sees a

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

32 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a bus is 30 m/s due East wrt the passenger

He also sees a passenger on the bus walking to the back at 2 m/s.

We need to find the passenger's velocity relative to the bus. As the observer sees that the bus and the passenger are moving in opposite direction. Let v is the relative velocity. So,

v = 30 m/s + 2 m/s

v = 32 m/s

Hence, the passenger's velocity relative to the bus is 32 m/s.
