What is kinetic energy?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
What kinetic energy is?
Explanation of Solution
Kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy possessed by a body in motion. The amount of kinetic energy is determined by the mass and speed of the body. The higher the mass and speed, the higher is the kinetic energy. Even at low speeds, the vehicle with high mass has enough kinetic energy to cause serious injury and damage. The kinetic energy is disposed with the help of brake system in a safe and controlled manner.

What is the work of force?
1. A 10 kg, 0.5 m radius wheel rotates with an angular acceleration of 10 rad/s/s. What is the torque ( KNm ) developed at the rim of the wheel?
2. A 10 kg, 0.5 m radius wheel running at 1800 rpm develops a torque of 50 KNm. Find the power ( KW ) transmitted by the wheel.
3. The total acceleration develop at the rim of the wheel 100 m/s/s. What is the wheel centripetal acceleration ( m/s/s ) if the tangential acceleration is 80 m/s/s ?
4. A particle moves in such a way that a = 2 s + 1 m/s/s , where t is in seconds. If the particle has moved 9 m , what is the velocity ( m/s ) at that point ?

Granny Shots The last player in the NBA to use an underhand foul shot (a "granny" shot) was Hall of Fame forward Rick Barry, who retired in 1980. Barry believes that current NBA players could increase their free-throw percentage if they were to use an underhand shot. Since underhand shots are released from a lower position, the angle of the shot must be increased. If a player shoots an underhand foul shot, releasing the ball at a 70-degree angle from a position 3.5 feet above the floor, then the path of the ball can be modeled by the function h(x) = -- 136x2 + 2.7x + 3.5, where h is the height of the ball above the floor,x is the forward distance of the ball in front of the foul line, and v is the initial velocity with which the ball is shot in feet per second. (a) The center of the hoop is 10 feet above the floor and 15 feet in front of the foul line. Determine the initial velocity with which the ball must be shot in order for the ball to go through the hoop. (b) Write the function…arrow_forward
