Answer:

Energy needed = 1100 kJ

Explanation:

Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy

Initial velocity = 15 m/s

Mass, m = 1600 kg

$\texttt{Initial kinetic energy = }\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.5\times 1600\times 15^2=180000J$

Final velocity = 40 m/s

$\texttt{Final kinetic energy = }\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.5\times 1600\times 40^2=1280000J$

Energy needed = Change in kinetic energy = 1280000-180000 = 1100000J

Energy needed = 1100 kJ

Answer:2.53*10^-10F

Explanation:

C=£o£r*A/d

Where £ is the permitivity of a constant

£o= 8.85*10^-12f/m

£r=6.3

A=150mm^2=0.015m^2

d=3.3mm= 0.0033m

C=8.85*10^-12*6.3*0.015/0.0033

C=8.85*6.3*10^-12*0.015/0.0033

C=55.755*0.015^-12/0.003

C=8.36/3.3*10^-13+3

C=2.53*10^-10F

what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that starts at rest and moves 300m down the gutter in 22.4 sec

exis [7]

<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time taken. It has both magnitude and direction. In this problem, the change in velocity would first have to be calculated. Velocity is distance divided by time. Therefore, the velocity here would be 300 m divided by 22.4 seconds. This gives a velocity of 13.3928 m/s. Since acceleration is velocity divided by time, it would be 13.3928 divided by 22.4, giving a final solution of 0.598 m/s^2.</span>

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1. The force of the shelf holding the book up.

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the book is as follows:

1 - The weight of the book towards downwards

2 - The normal force that the shelf exerts on the book towards upwards.

Since the book is at rest, these two forces are equal to each other and according to Newton's Third Law the reaction force to the force of gravity is equal but opposite to the weight of the book. This reaction force is the one that holds the book up on the shelf.
