The amount of work done can be solved using the formula:

Work = Force x Distance = Change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy can be solved using the formula: KE = (1/2)*m*v^2
So, change in kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(Vf)^2 - (1/2)*m*(Vo)^2

Where:

Vf = final velocity = 90 kph = 25 m/s
Vo = initial velocity = 72 kph = 20 m/s

substituting the given values:

Work = (1/2)*2500*(25^2) - (1/2)*2500*(20^2) = 281250 J, which can also be expressed as 2.8 x 10^5 Joules.

Among the choices, the correct answer is A.

Answer:

(1/2)*2500*(25^2) - (1/2)*2500*(20^2) = 281250 J, which can also be expressed as 2.8 x 10^5 Joules.

A hockey puck of mass m traveling along the x axis at 4.5 m/s hits another identical hockey puck at rest. If after the collision
TEA [102]

Answer:

D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.

Explanation:

Since momentum is always conserved in all collision

so in Y direction we can say

0 = m(3.5 sin30) - mv_y

v_y = 1.75 m/s

Now similarly in X direction we will have

m(4.5) = m(3.5 cos30 ) + mv_x

v_x = 1.47 m/s

now final kinetic energy of both puck after collision is given as

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}m(3.5^2) + \frac{1}{2}m(1.75^2 + 1.47^2)

KE_f = 8.73 m

initial kinetic energy of both pucks is given as

KE_i = \frac{1}{2}m(4.5^2) + 0

KE_i = 10.125 m

since KE is decreased here so it must be inelastic collision

D) No, since kinetic energy is not conserved.

If a bowl of fruit is sitting on a table in a state of rest, what is the net force acting on it?
Setler79 [48]
A balanced force is upon it because balanced means both sides are equal so they cancel each other out, while unbalanced means one side is weaker/stronger than the other and in this case its in a state of rest so the net force would be equal/balanced.

A 145-g baseball is thrown so that it acquires a speed of 25 m/s. What was the net work done on the ball to make it reach this s
inysia [295]

When the ball has left your hand and is flying on its own, its kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

KE = (1/2) (0.145 kg) (25 m/s)²

KE = (0.0725 kg) (625 m²/s²)

<em>KE = 45.3 Joules</em>

If the baseball doesn't have rocket engines on it, or a hamster inside running on a treadmill that turns a propeller on the outside, then there's only one other place where that kinetic energy could come from:  It MUST have come from the hand that threw the ball.  The hand would have needed to do  <em>45.3 J</em>  of work on the ball before releasing it.

A spring-powered dart gun is unstretched and has a spring constant 16.0 N/m. The spring is compressed by 8.0 cm and a 5.0 gram p
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 16N/m

Extension of spring

x = 8cm = 0.08m

Mass

m = 5g =5/1000 = 0.005 kg

The ball will leave with a speed that makes its kinetic energy equal to the potential energy of the compressed spring.

So, Using conservation of energy

Energy in spring is converted to kinectic energy

So, Ux = K.E

Ux = ½ kx²

Then,

Ux = ½ × 16 × 0.08m²

Ux = 0.64 J

Since, K.E = Ux

K.E = 0.64 J
