Explain why the teenager and the wheelchair don't have the same kinetic energy, even though they have the same speed

Answer:

their weight difference

Explanation:

weight adds to kinetic energy. a heavier object will have a higher kinetic energy because the extra weight will slowly increase or decrease the velocity depending on if it's being sent down a decline or inclined plane

A force of 40 N accelerates a 5 block at 6 m/s ^ 2 along a horizontal surface a. What would the block's acceleration be if the s
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

a = 8 m/s^2, Ffriction = 10 N, μk = 0.205

Explanation:

a. Force = Mass*Acceleration,

(since you didn't add the units..."5 block"....for the mass, I will assume it to be in kg, per SI units)

40 N = 5 kg*acceleration,

a = 40/5 = 8 m/s^2

b. As you know newtons second law (F=m*a) is actually in the form Fnet = m*a. Which means that if the friction force comes into play, it would be Fapplied - Ffriction = m*a.

Fapplied - Ffriction = m*a,

40 - Ffriction = 5*6,

40 - Ffriction = 30,

Ffriction = 40 - 30 = 10 N

c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is calculated by the formula "Ffriction = μk*Fnormal".

10 = μk*Fnormal (Fnormal = m*g = 5*9.8)

10 = μk*49,

μk=10/49 ≈ 0.205

Two cars are traveling in the same direction and with the same speed along a straight highway. Does either driver hear a differe
Trava [24]

Answer:

No, either driver can not hear a different frequency from the other car's horn than they would if the cars were stationary.

Explanation:

Either driver hear a different frequency from the other car's horn than they would if the cars were stationary if two cars are traveling in the same direction and with the same speed along a straight highway because neither driver experiences a Doppler shift

You have 0.5 l of air at a pressure of 203 kpa and -70°c in a rigid, sealed contaainer. what is the absolute tempertaure of the
ANTONII [103]
From the information given and if the question is complete then;
Absolute temperature is the temperature in Kelvin
To convert degree Celsius to kelvin we normally add 273
that is Kelvin = deg Celsius + 273
Thus since we have been given that the air was at -70 degrees celcius;
then; - 70° C  + 273 = 203 K
 Therefore; the absolute temperature is 203 K
