How to calculate kinetic energy given mass and velocity

1 answer:

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 ball traveling at a speed ν0 rolls off a desk and lands at a horizontal distance x0 away from the desk, as shown in the figure

klasskru [66]

Answer:

$3x_0$

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered by the ball in the falling is only determined by its horizontal motion - in fact, it is given by

$d=v_x t$

where

$v_x$ is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

The time of flight, instead, is only determined by the vertical motion of the ball: however, in this problem the vertical velocity is not changed (it is zero in both cases), so the time of flight remains the same.

In the first situation, the horizontal distance covered is

$d=v_0 t = x_0$

in the second case, the horizontal velocity is increased to

$v_x' = 3v_0$

And so the new distance travelled will be

$d' = v_x' t = 3 v_0 t = 3 x_0$

So, the distance increases linearly with the horizontal velocity.

A conductor carrying a current I = 16.5 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A

Jet001 [13]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Magnetic Force, this is given by the product between the current, the body length, the magnetic field and the angle between the force and the magnetic field, mathematically that is,

$F = ILBsin \theta$

Here,

I = Current

L = Length

B = Magnetic Field

$\theta$ = Angle between Force and Magnetic Field

But $\theta = 90\°$

$F = ILB$

Rearranging to find the Magnetic Field,

$B = \frac{F}{IL}$

Here the force per unit length,

$B = \frac{1}{I}\frac{F}{L}$

Replacing with our values,

$B = \frac{0.130N/m}{16.5}$

$B = 0.0078T$

Therefore the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes is 0.0078T

Anyone know how this work ?? If u know help me it is an exam

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

D) This is the correct answer

Explanation:

In this exercise the two ball loads are suspended by a thread.

To answer this exercise, let us remember that charges of the same sign repel and charges of a different sign attract.

Therefore, for the system to maintain equilibrium, the two charges must be of the same sign.

When examining the different proposals

A) in this case, as a sphere has no charge, there is no electric force and the induced charge is of the opposite sign, so the spheres attract each other

B) in this case there is an electric force, but being of a different sign, the force is attractive so the system is not in equilibrium

C) as the charges are of different magnitude the system does not have equal angles

D) This is the correct answer, since the charges have the same magnitude and are of the same sign, so the force is repulsive and is counteracted by the weight component

The 1350-kg car has a velocity of 24 km/h up the 8-percent grade when the driver applies more power for 18 s to bring the car up

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply concept of impulse to solve the problem .

Impulse = force x time

impulse = change in momentum

force x time = change in momentum

initial speed u = 24 km/h = 6.67 m /s

final speed v = 65 km/h = 18.05 m /s

change in momentum = m v - mu

= m ( v-u )

= 1350 ( 18.05 - 6.67 )

= 15363 kg m/s

F x 18 = 15363

F = 853.5 N .
