Susan and Hannah are each riding a swing. Susan has a mass of 25 kilograms, and Hannah has a mass of 30 kilograms. Susan’s swing

moves with a velocity of 10 meters/second, while Hannah’s swing moves with a velocity of 8.5 meters/second. Susan’s kinetic energy is (1080,1250,1350, or 1500) joules. Susan’s kinetic energy is greater than Hannah’s because: Speed has a greater effect than mass, Mass has a greater effect than speed, Mass and Speed have the same effect, or Mass and Speed dont have any effect?

Answer:

Kinetic energy is given by:

K.E. = 0.5 m v²

Susan has mass, m = 25 kg

Velocity with which Susan moves is, v = 10 m/s

Hannah has mass, m' = 30 kg

Velocity with which Hannah moves is, v' = 8.5 m/s

<u>Kinetic energy of Susan:</u>

0.5 m v² = 0.5 × 25 kg × (10 m/s)² = 1250 J

<u>Kinetic energy of Hannah:</u>

0.5 m v'² = 0.5 × 30 kg × (8.5 m/s)² = 1083.75 J

Susan's kinetic energy is <u>1250 J </u>and Hannah's kinetic energy is <u>1083.75 J</u>.

Since kinetic energy is dependent on mass and square of speed. Thus, speed has a greater effect than mass. As it is evident from the above example. Susan has greater kinetic energy due to higher speed than Hannah.

As the drawing illustrates, a siren can be made by blowing a jet of air through 20 equally spaced holes in a rotating disk. The
Aneli [31]

Answer:

ω = 630.2663 = 630[rad/s]

Explanation:

Solution:

- We can tackle this question by simple direct proportion relation between angular speed for the disk to rotate a cycle that constitutes 20 holes. We will use direct relation with number of holes per cycle to compute the revolution per seconds i.e frequency of speed f.

                                  1rev(20 hole) -> 20(cycle)/rev  

                                        2006.2(cycle) -> f ?  

                              f = 2006.2/20 = 100.31rev at second  

- The relation between angular frequency and angular speed is given by:

                                 ω = 2πf

                                 ω = 2*3.14*100.31

                                 ω = 630.2663 = 630[rad/s]

Nathan accelerates his skateboard uniformly along a straight path from rest to 12.5 m/s in 2.5 s.
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

<h2>a) Nathan's acceleration is 5 m/s² </h2><h2>b) Nathan's displacement during this time interval is 15.625 m</h2><h2>c) Nathan's average velocity during this time interval is 6.25 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = 12.5 m/s    

     Time, t = 2.5 s

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      1.25 = 0 + a x 2.5

                      a = 5 m/s²

     Nathan's acceleration is 5 m/s²

b) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 5 m/s²  

        Time, t = 2.5 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 2.5 + 0.5 x 5 x 2.5²

                      s = 15.625 m

      Nathan's displacement during this time interval is 15.625 m

c) Displacement = 15.625 m

   Time = 2.5 s

  We have

           Displacement = Time x Average velocity

           15.625 = 2.5 x  Average velocity

           Average velocity = 6.25 m/s

     Nathan's average velocity during this time interval is 6.25 m/s
