When a block slides a certain distance down an incline, the work done by

1 answer:

7 0

That is -300 J, because the work = the force times the distance. When the distance is a positive value when it is going down, the distance is a negative value when it is going up. The only thing that change is the minus, the absolute value of the work remains the same

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running

crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity $u=25\ m/s$

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

When the speed of your car is doubled, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase?

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a. 4

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the car.

v = speed of the car.

Let´s see how would be the equation if the velocity is doubled (2 · v)

KE2 = 1/2 · m · (2 · v)²

Distributing the exponent:

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 2² · v²

KE2 = 1/2 · m · 4 · v²

KE2 = 4 (1/2 · m · v²)

KE2 = 4KE

Doubling the velocity increased the kinetic energy by 4.

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.1 rad/s in 2.99 s.(a) fi

elena55 [62]

The angular acceleration of a rotating object is given by
$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$
where
$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed of the object
$\omega_i$ is its initial angular speed
$\Delta t$ is the time taken to accelerate

For the wheel in our problem, $\omega_f=11.1 rad/s$ , $\omega_i = 0$ and $\Delta t=2.99 s$ , so its angular acceleration is
$\alpha= \frac{11.1 rad/s-0}{2.99 s}=3.71 rad/s^2$
