What is the formula that can be used to find velocity if kinetic energy and mass are known?
viva [34]
The formula for kinetic energy is \frac{1}{2}m\Delta v^2. Thus, the equation for velocity is v=   \sqrt{ \frac{2TotalKineticEnergy}{m} }.

You are given two rectangular blocks of shiny metal, Block A and Block B, and are asked to determine which one will float in a b
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of block A = 10 x 6 x 1 = 60 cm³

Mass of block A = 630 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 630 / 60 = 10.5g / cm³

Volume of block B = 5 x 5 x 3 = 75 cm³

Mass of block A = 604 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 604 / 75 = 8.05 g / cm³

Since density of both A and B are less than that of mercury , both will float in mercury.

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller
victus00 [196]

1.

Answer:

a) It is less

Explanation:

By energy conservation we can say that initial potential energy of both child must be equal to the final kinetic energy of the two child.

Since initially they are at same height so we will say that initial potential energy will be given as

mgH and MgH

so the child with greater mass has more energy and hence smaller child will reach with smaller kinetic energy

2.

Answer:

b. The two speeds are equal.

Explanation:

As we know by mechanical energy conservation law we have

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

since both child starts at same height so here they both will reach the bottom at same speed

3.

Answer:

c. The two accelerations are equal

Explanation:

Since we know that average acceleration of the motion is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

since here initial and final speeds are same so they both must have same average acceleration here.

Since I'm assuming that its perfectly elastic, considering there's not enough information given, so I think that no energy is dissipated in the collision

A truck collides with a car on horizontal ground. At one moment during the collision, the magnitude of the acceleration of the t
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the truck, a_t = 12.7 m/s²

mass of the truck, m_t = 2490 kg

mass of the car, m_c = 890 kg

let the acceleration of the car at the moment they collided = a_c

Apply Newton's third law of motion;

Magnitude of force exerted by the truck = Magnitude of force exerted by the car.

The force exerted by the car occurs in the opposite direction.

F_c = -F_t\\\\m_ca_c = -m_t a_t\\\\a_c =- \frac{m_ta_t}{m_c} \\\\a_c = -\frac{2490 \times 12.7}{890} \\\\a_c = - 35.53 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²
