Answer:

$\displaystyle KE = 32 \ J$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Energy

Kinetic Energy Formula: $\displaystyle KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

KE is in J
m is in kg
v is in m/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

m = 2 kg

v = 4 m/s

Step 2: Find KE

Substitute in variables [Kinetic Energy Formula]: $\displaystyle KE = (2 \ kg)(4 \ m/s)^2$
Simplify: $\displaystyle KE = 32 \ J$

An airplane is heading south at a speed of 600km/h. If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 100km/h, calculate

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Here's what I got:

Let's assume that N and E are + directions while S and W are - directions.

Wind is blowing from SW; thus, it is blowing towards NE (or at 45 deg N of E).

Dividing the wind's speed into components:y-component: +70.71 km/h; x-component: +70.71 km/h

Dividing the airplane's speed into components:y-component: -600 km/h; x-component: 0 km/h

Adding the components to get the resulting components:y-component: -529.29 km/h; x-component: +70.71

Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the resulting speed:v^2 = y^2 + x^2 so v = 533.99 km/h

To find the angle of direction, use arctan (y/x):arctan (529.29/70.71) = 82.39 deg

ANSWER: velocity = 533.99 km/h at 82.39 deg S of E

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.2 rad/s in 3.07 s. (a) f

Hitman42 [59]

(a) The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by
$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t}$
where $\omega_i$ and $\omega_f$ are the initial and final angular speed of the wheel, and t the time.

In our problem, the initial angular speed is zero (the wheel starts from rest), so the angular acceleration is
$\alpha = \frac{(11.2 rad/s) - 0}{3.07 s} =3.65 rad/s^2$

(b) The wheel is moving by uniformly rotational accelerated motion, so the angle it covered after a time t is given by
$\theta (t) = \omega_i t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2$
where $\omega_i = 0$ is the initial angular speed. So, the angle covered after a time t=3.07 s is
$\theta= \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2 = \frac{1}{2}(3.65 rad/s^2)(3.07 s)^2 = 17.2 rad$

Which cells or organs are considered to be part of both the immune and lymphatic systems? Select all that apply.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

lymph nodes

tonsils and adenoids

thymus

Explanation:

-Arteries are the blood vessels that take the blood that contains oxygen from the heart to the tissues and are part of the circulatory system.

-Lymph nodes are glands that take care of filtering the fluid that goes through the lympathic system and are also important for the functioning of the immune system.

-Capillaries are blood vessels that connect the veins and arteries and are part of the circulatory system.

-Tonsils and adenoids are located in the throat and they help protect the body from diseases and they are part of immune system and the lympathic system.

-Veins are the vessels that take the blood to the heart and they are part of the circulatory system.

-Thymus is an organ in which the T cells develop and they help protect the body against virus and bacteria and it is part of the immune and lympathic systems.

According to this, cells or organs that are considered to be part of both the immune and lymphatic systems are:

lymph nodes

tonsils and adenoids

thymus

Evaluate A car company wants to build a wind-powered car that converts 100 percent of the mechanical energy in the wind to the m

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient. There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.
