Answer:

Velocity = v = 35 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy possess by an object due to its motion. Kinetic energy K.E of an object is equal to the half of the mass of that object multiplied by square of the object's velocity.

Mathematically,

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$v^{2}=\frac{2K.E}{m}$

$v =\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(110250)}{180} }$

v = 35 m/s

The car is travelling as fast as 35 m/s

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Let's recall </em><em>Kinetic Energy</em><em> Formula as follows:</em>

$\large {\boxed{Ek = \frac{1}{2}mv^2} }$

Ek = Kinetic Energy ( Joule )

m = mass of the object ( kg )

v = speed of the object ( m/s )

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

mass of the car = m = 180 kg

kinetic energy of the car = Ek = 110 250 J

<u>Asked:</u>

speed of the car = v = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Kinetic Energy formula </em><em>to solve this problem:</em>

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

$2 E_k = m v^2$

$v^2 = 2 E_k \div m$

$v = \sqrt {2 E_k \div m}$

$v = \sqrt { 2 ( 110250) \div 180 }$

$v = \sqrt { 1225 }$

$v = 35 \texttt{ m/s}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

The car is travelling as fast as 35 m/s

In certain cases, using both the momentum principle and energy principle to analyze a system is useful, as they each can reveal

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

A) F_g = 26284.48 N

B) v = 7404.18 m/s

C) E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of satellite; m = 3500 kg

Mass of the earth; M = 6 x 10²⁴ Kg

Earth circular orbit radius; R = 7.3 x 10⁶ m

A) Formula for the gravitational force is;

F_g = GmM/r²

Where G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

F_g = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)²

F_g = 26284.48 N

B) From the momentum principle, we have that the gravitational force is equal to the centripetal force.

Thus;

GmM/r² = mv²/r

Making v th subject, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

Plugging in the relevant values;

v = √(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶))

v = 7404.18 m/s

C) From the energy principle, the minimum amount of work is given by;

E = (GmM/r) - ½mv²

Plugging in the relevant values;

E = [(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 × 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)] - (½ × 3500 × 7404.18)

E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

$F_e=qE=ma$ (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

$a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

$x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm$

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm

A red ball, initially at rest, is simultaneously hit by a blue ball traveling from west to east at 5 m/s and a green ball travel

andrezito [222]

Answer:

C. Between North and West

Explanation:

Since all have equal masses and the red ball and green ball are moving in south and east direction, the blue ball would most likely be moving between the north and West direction.

a fixed mass of a n ideal gas is heated from 50 to 80C at a constant pressure at 1 atm and again at a constant pressure of 3 atm

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The energy required is same for both cases since specific heat capacity (Cp) does not vary with pressure.

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, t₁ = 50 °C

final temperature, t₂ = 80 °C

Change in temperature, ΔT =80 °C - 50 °C = 30 °C

Pressure for case 1 = 1 atm

Pressure for case 2 = 3 atm

Energy required in both cases is given;

$Q = M*C_p*\delta T$

where;

Cp is specific heat capacity, which varies only with temperature and not with pressure.

Therefore, the energy required is same for both cases since specific heat capacity (Cp) does not vary with pressure.

According to the saffir/simpson scale, what storm surge and type of damage was most likely experienced in homestead, florida whi

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale gives 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's wind speed, storm surge and potential property damage. It rates according to categories. When placed at Hurricanes of Category 3 and above, they are termed major catastrophic hurricanes because of their potential for loss of life and damages of property. Ratings at Category 1 and 2 storms are dangerous but can be prevented by following directed measures.

Florida situated directly in the hurricane at east coast , had experiened Category 1- Category 5 ratings from hurricane and noticed in Land fall in Florida since 1894 with Winds ranging from 74-95 mph with some dangerous damages which can lead damages to Well-built homes, dedtroying roofs , Uprooting shallow rooted trees, and causing power outages due to destruction of poles

to 157 mph or higher causing Catastrophic damages making the area inhabitable due to loss of life and properties.

For example, Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 attacked Florida’s east coast resulting to a Category 2 storm producing tropical storm force winds,heavy rain and storm surge leading to damages of roof of building and disruption of power poles.
