To solve this problem we will apply the energy conservation theorem for which the work applied on a body must be equivalent to the kinetic energy of this (or vice versa) therefore

W = \Delta KE

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

Here,

m = mass

v_{f,i} = Velocity (Final and initial)

First case) When the particle goes from 10m/s to 20m/s

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(20)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(10)^2

W_1 = 150(m) J

Second case) When the particle goes from 20m/s to 30m/s

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(30)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(20)^2

W_1 = 250(m) J

As the mass of the particle is the same, we conclude that more energy is required in the second case than in the first, therefore the correct answer is A.

The impact of the type of material of which the slope is made on acceleration
Pachacha [2.7K]

 The impact of the material type with which the slope is made affects the acceleration. Acceleration will be higher and smoother if the material of the slope surface is smoother as opposed to a texture which is not smooth. Smoother surface allows more acceleration because it will have less friction and resistance. Otherwise the friction will slow the object down for example a grassy ground will have more friction than a well maintained marble floor.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The soda is being sucket out at a rate of 3.14 cubic inches/second.

Explanation:

R= 2in

S= π*R²= 12.56 inch²

rate= 0.25 in/sec

rate of soda sucked out= rate* S

rate of soda sucked out=  3.14 inch³/sec

Sounds are produced by objects that are______
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Vibrating

Explanation:

Sound is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound is a form of mechanical energy.
