m = mass of the truck = 23 00 kg

v = speed of the truck down the highway = 32 m/s

K = kinetic energy of the truck = ?

kinetic energy of the truck down the highway is given as

K = (0.5) m v²

inserting the values

K = (0.5) (2300) (32)²

K = (0.5) (2300) (1024)

K = (1150) (1024)

K = 1177600 J

hence the kinetic energy of the truck comes out to be 1177600 J

How do objects and substances have kinetic energy?? I need help ASAP!!

9966 [12]

Objects and substances in motion have Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is the motion of objects, substances, molecules, atoms .

Whenever an object starts to move, it is in motion. Kinetic Energy is generated, when the object moves and its potential energy gets dropped with the movement. Kinetic Energy is found in every object that moves.

The Kinetic Energy of an object depends both on its mass and its speed. Kinetic Energy increases as mass and speed are increased.

Example: By using the wind flow from wind turbines, the Kinetic energy in the wind can be transformed to generate electricity by using generators.

25 POINTS FOR CORRECT ANSWER

castortr0y [4]

No. I do not agree with Stefan. Quite the contrary. I disagree
with his description of "angle of incidence" as the angle between
the surface of the mirror and the incoming ray.

The correct description of "angle of incidence" is the angle between
the NORMAL TO the surface of the mirror and the incoming ray.

Thus, the true angle of incidence is the complement of the angle that
Stefan calculates or measures.

Answer:

The answer is " $q=0.0945\,C$ ".

Explanation:

Its minimum velocity energy is provided whenever the satellite(charge 4 q) becomes 15 m far below the square center generated by the electrode (charge q).

$U_i=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \times \frac{4\times4q^2}{\sqrt{(15)^2+(5/\sqrt2)^2}}$

It's ultimate energy capacity whenever the satellite is now in the middle of the electric squares:

$U_f=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\ \times \frac{4\times4q^2}{( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}})}$

Potential energy shifts:

$= U_f -U_i \\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{(15)^2+( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2})^2)}}\right ) \\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ 15 +( \frac{5}{2})}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ (\frac{30+5}{2})}}\right )\\\\$

$=\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ (\frac{35}{2})}}\right )\\\\=\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{17.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{ 24.74- 5 }{87.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{ 19.74- 5 }{87.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{4q^2}{\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( 0.2256 }\right )\\\\= \frac{0.28 \times q^2}{ \epsilon_0}\\\\=q^2\times31.35 \times10^9\,J$

Now that's the energy necessary to lift a satellite of 100 kg to 300 km across the surface of the earth.

$=\frac{GMm}{R}-\frac{GMm}{R+h} \\\\=(6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.0\times10^{24}\times100)\left(\frac{1}{6400\times1000}-\frac{1}{6700\times1000} \right ) \\\\ =(6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.0\times10^{26})\left(\frac{1}{64\times10^{5}}-\frac{1}{67\times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\=(6.67\times6.0\times10^{15})\left(\frac{67 \times 10^{5} - 64 \times 10^{5} }{ 4,228 \times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\$

$=( 40.02\times10^{15})\left(\frac{3 \times 10^{5}}{ 4,228 \times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\ =40.02 \times10^{15} \times 0.0007 \\\\$

$\\\\ =0.02799\times10^{10}\,J \\\\= q^2\times31.35\times10^{9} \\\\ =0.02799\times10^{10} \\\\q=0.0945\,C$

This satellite is transmitted by it system at a height of 300 km and not in orbit, any other mechanism is required to bring the satellite into space.
