(3) The frictional force exerted by the floor on the box
I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time.
This is sneaky. At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'. But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)
The answer is momentum.
Momentum is (mass x speed). Change in momentum is (force x time).
No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it. If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.
Answer:
Gases that are very good at absorbing long wave photons of infrared light
Explanation:
- Green house gases examples are Carbon monoxide, nitric oxide etc.
- These gases absorb long wave photons of infrared light of sun's rays
- They melts the glaciers and increase the sea level .
Answer:
kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2
Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
we know that;
Kinetic energy = 1/2.mv²
given that mass of the object is doubled; m1 = 2m
speed is halved; v1 = V/2
Now, New kinetic energy will be; 1/2.m1v1²
we substitute
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v/2)²
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v²/4)
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m × (v²/2)
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ 1/2mv² ]
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ KE ]
Therefore; kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2
Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer
