- Notice how much an effect speed has on kinetic energy, due to its dependence on speed squared. The kinetic energy of the fast-moving baseball that you found in the previous step skip is about the same, even a little more, than the walking student, even though baseball has much less mass. This is because of the baseball's much greater speed. Here is another example that shows how speed greatly affects the kinetic energy. One type of rifle used by the military fires a bullet with a mass of 0.000356 kg that exits the rifle's barrel with a speed of 910 m/s. What is the bullet's kinetic energy (in J)? ______J Again, notice how higher speed has a huge effect on kinetic energy. Let's try a few more examples of reasoning with kinetic energy. Two rocks are moving at the same speed. Rock #2 has the mass of rock #1. The kinetic energy of rock #2 is then ____________ the kinetic energy of rock #1. Two identical cars have the same mass. Car #2 is moving at the speed of car #1. The…arrow_forwardA car with a mass of 1,500 kg is going straight ahead at a speed of 60 m/s. The brakes can supply a force of 9,500 N.

- Please see attached image for question. Thank youarrow_forwardcalculate the train's final speed and energy lost with these numbers. A train car hits a three-car train; together, it becomes a four-car train. The mass of each train car is 40*103 kg. The initial speed of the single car is 3.3 m/s. The initial speed of the three-car train is 1.8 m/s.arrow_forwardEstimate the kinetic energy (in GJ) of a 96,000 metric ton aircraft carrier moving at a speed of at 22 knots. You will need to look up the definition of a nautical mile to use in converting the unit for speed, where 1 knot equals 1 nautical mile per hour.arrow_forward
- Rank the following bodies in order of their kinetic energy, from least to greatest along with reasons. (i) a 4.0-kg body moving at 10.0 m/s; (ii) a 2.0-kg body that initially was at rest and then had 60 J of work done on it; (iii) a 2.0-kg body that initially was moving at 8.0 m/s and then had 40 J of work done on it; (iv) a 4.0-kg body that initially was moving at 10 m/s and then did 80 J of work on another body.arrow_forwardSam's job at the amusement park is to slow down and bring to a stop the boats in the log ride. If a boat and its riders have a mass of 1200 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.3 m/s how much work does Sam do to stop it? Express your answer in joules.arrow_forwardConsider the following scenario. A car for which friction is not negligible accelerates from rest down a hill, running out of gasoline after a short distance (see below). The driver lets the car coast farther down the hill, then up and over a small crest. He then coasts down that hill into a gas station, where he brakes to a stop and fills the tank with gasoline. Identify the forms of energy the car has, and how they are changed and transferred in this series of events.arrow_forward
