Hello!

We have the following data:

KE (Kinetic Energy) = 480 J
m (mass) = ? (in Kg)
v (speed) = 8 m/s

<span>Formula to calculate kinetic energy:

</span> $KE = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^2$
<span>
Solving:

</span> $KE = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^2$

$480 = \frac{1}{2} *m*8^2$

$480 = \frac{1}{2} *m*64$

$480*2 = 64*m$

$960 = 64m$

$64m = 960$

$m = \frac{960}{64}$

$\boxed{\boxed{m = 15\:Kg}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

KE=1/2*m*v^2
So 480=1/2 * m * 8^2
480=1/2 * m * 64
480=32 * m
480/32=m
15=m

This time particle A starts from rest and accelerates to the right at 65.5 cm/s

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

t = 4 s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle A starts from Rest with constant acceleration

So the distance moved by the particle in given time "t"

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(65.5)t^2$

$d_1 = 32.75 t^2 cm$

Now we know that B moves with constant speed so in the same time B will move to another distance

$d_2 = 44 \times t$

now we know that B is already 349 cm down the track

so if A and B will meet after time "t"

then in that case

$d_1 = 349 + d_2$

$32.75 t^2 = 349 + 44 t$

on solving above kinematics equation we have

$t = 4 s$

Give an example of where you see the law of conservation of energy in your life

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down

A passenger in a helicopter traveling upwards at 15 m/s accidentally drops a package out the window. If it takes 15 seconds to r

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)
