- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardIf a coffee filter is dropped, its velocity after t seconds is given by v(t)=4(10.0003t) feet per second. What is the terminal velocity, and how long does it take the filter to reach 99 of terminal velocity? Use a table increment of 0.1 and given your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forward
