Answer:

490,400 J

Explanation:

Mass of first car, m = 1000 kg

Mass of second car, M = 1200 kg

velocity of first car, u = 20 m/s east

velocity of second car, U = 22 m/s west

The formula for the kinetic energy is

k = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

where, m is the body and v be the velocity of the body.

Total kinetic energy is given by

k = \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}+\frac{1}{2}MU^{2}

k = \frac{1}{2}\times1000\times20^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times1200\times22^{2}

k = 200000 + 290400

k = 490,400 J

Thus, the total kinetic energy of the system is 490,400 J.

What happens to kinetic energy when you increase the mass?
Rus_ich [418]

Increasing mass increases kinetic energy. This can be seen in the equation KE = 1/2 (m) (v)^2

3. How does the wavelength of green different from violet-indigo?​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.80
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

a)1.14

b)0.31

c)1.14

d)0.25

Explanation:

Assume wave travels in a harmonic motion. This means if it takes 2.8 for the boat to travel from highest to lowest point, then it'd take 2.8*2 = 5.6 for the boat to travel in 1 period (from highest point to lowest point then back to highest point again).

a)As the wave crest is 6.4 apart. Then it's speed is

v = s/t = 6.4/5.6 = 1.14

b) The amplitude would be half of the vertical distance traveled by the boat, which is

A = 0.62 / 2 = 0.31

c) As the distance between the crest and the time it takes for the boat to travel vertically is unchanged, then the wave speed would stay the same:

v = 1.14

d) The amplitude would again be half of the vertical distance

A = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25
