How to calculate kinetic energy given mass and velocity

Physics
1 answer:
sashaice [31]2 years ago
3 0

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

A crate with a mass of 110 kg glides through a space station with a speed of 4.0 m/s. An astronaut speeds it up by pushing on it
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The final speed of the crate after the astronaut push to slow it down is 4.50 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:  </u>

The crate has mass m = 110 kg and an initial speed vi = 4 m/s.  

<u>Solution  </u>

We are asked to determine the final speed of the crate. We could apply the steps for energy principle update form as next  

Ef=Ei+W                                                 (1)

Where Ef and Ei are the find and initial energies of the crate (system) respectively. While W is the work done by the astronaut (surrounding).  

The system has two kinds of energy, the kinetic energy which associated with its motion and the rest energy where it has zero speed. The summation of both energies called the particle energy. So, equation (1) will be in the form  

(Kf + mc^2) = (KJ+ mc^2)                       (2)  

Where m is the mass of crate, c is the speed of light which equals 3 x 10^8 m/s and the term mc^2 represents the energy at rest and the term K is the kinetic energy.  

In this case, the rest energy doesn't change so we can cancel the rest energy in both sides and substitute with the approximate expression of the kinetic energy of the crate at low speeds where K = 1/2 mv^2 and equation (2) will be in the form

(1/2mvf^2+mc^2)=(1/2mvi^2 +mc^2)+W

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi^2+W                              (3)

Now we want to calculate the work done on the crate to complete our calculations. Work is the amount of energy transfer between a source of an applied force and the object that experiences this force and equals the force times the displacement of the object. Therefore, the total work done will be given by  

W = FΔr                                                      (4)  

Where F is the force applied by the astronaut and equals 190 N and Δr is the displacement of the crate and equals 6 m. Now we can plug our values for F and Δr to get the work done by the astronaut  

W = F Δr= (190N)(6 m) = 1140 J  

Now we can plug our values for vi, m and W into equation (3) to get the final speed of the crate  

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi^2+W

vf=5.82 m/s

This is the final speed of the first push when the astronaut applies a positive work done. Then, in the second push, he applies a negative work done on the crate to slow down its speed. Hence, in this case, we could consider the initial speed of the second process to be the final speed of the first process. So,  

vi' = vf

In this case, we will apply equation (3) for the second process to be in the

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi'^2+W'                                 (3*)

The force in the second process is F = 170 N and the displacement is 4 m. The force and the displacement are in the opposite direction, hence the work done is negative and will be calculated by  

W'= —F Δr = —(170N)(4 m)= —680J

Now we can plug our values for vi' , m and W' into equation (3*) to get the final speed of the crate  

1/2mvf'^2=1/2mvi'^2+W'

  vf'=4.50 m/s

The final speed of the crate after the astronaut push to slow it down is 4.50 m/s

The displacement (in centimeters) of a particle moving back and forth along a straight line is given by the equation of motion s
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 0

Explanation:

The object is moving to and fro about its mean position

and the equation for its displacement is given as

s = 5 sin(\pi t) + 5 cos(\pi t)

now in one complete time period we know that the the object will complete its one oscillation

So the change in the position of the object in one complete time period will be ZERO

so here we can say that

v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}

since change in position is zero

so displacement = 0

v_{avg} = 0
