Answer:

The moving object transfers kinetic energy with the object that isn't moving.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a form of energy that a object or particle has by the reason of motion. Potential energy is a form of energy that a object or particle has by the reason of no movement. The object that is moving knocks down or collides with an object that isn't moving, and the object that is moving transfers kinetic energy to potential energy, and the object that wasn't moving transfers potential energy to kinetic energy.

What is the average velocity of a dragster that starts from rest at the starting line and finishes a race at 2600 m/s in 12 seco

xxMikexx [17]

Using the equation v(avg)=distance/time
and the equation v=v(original)+a(t)
solve for acceleration
2600=0+a(12)
a=216.66666 m/s^2

Then, you use the equation
v^2=v(original)+2a*(change in x)
2600^2=2(216.666666)*change in x
6760000/2/216.666666 = 15600 meters which is the length of the race

Then using v(avg)=x/t
15600/12= 1300 m/s

A 20~\mu F20 μF capacitor has previously charged up to contain a total charge of Q = 100~\mu CQ=100 μC on it. The capacitor is t

sertanlavr [38]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C = $20 \times 10^{-6} F$

R = $100 \times 10^{3}$ ohm

$Q_{o} = 100 \times 10^{-6}$ C

Q = $13.5 \times 10^{-6} C$

Formula to calculate the time is as follows.

$Q_{t} = Q_{o} [e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}]$

$13.5 \times 10^{-6} = 100 \times 10^{-6} [e^{\frac{-t}{2}}]$

0.135 = $e^{\frac{-t}{2}}$

$e^{\frac{t}{2}} = \frac{1}{0.135}$

= 7.407

$\frac{t}{2} = ln (7.407)$

t = 4.00 s

Therefore, we can conclude that time after the resistor is connected will the capacitor is 4.0 sec.

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build

Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3> $y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}$ </h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t </h3><h3> $v_{o}$ i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration= $9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )$ </h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then, $v_{0}$ =0
