Answer:

A) Increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Given that mass, m = 2m

Substituting into the equation, we have;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½*2mv²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2K.E = 2mv²

Hence, if the mass of an object increases by a factor 2, kinetic energy is increased by a factor of 2.

1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by $F=mg$ , where m is the mass of the object and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is
$F=mg=(2.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=21.6 N$

2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different: $g=3.7 m/s^2$ . The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: $F=mg=(2.2 kg)(3.7 m/s^2)=8.1 N$

3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus:
$g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{ 19.6 N}{2.2 kg}=8.9 m/s^2$

4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg:
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg} =23.1 m/s^2$

5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.3 N}{0.5 kg} =0.6 m/s^2$

6) On Earth, the gravity acceleration is $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . The mass of the pair of shoes is m=0.5 kg, therefore their weight on Earth is
 $F=mg=(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=4.9 N$

A 0.11 N m torque is applied to a fan that was initially at rest. The fan has moment of inertia of 0.034 kg m2. Determine the ki

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

2.72*10-3 Joules

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

$\tau=I*\alpha$

given

$\tau= 0.11Nm\\\\I=0.034kgm^2\\\\t= 8s\\\\\alpha=?$

$\alpha =0.11/0.034\\\\\alpha=3.23 rad/s^2$

the angular velocity is

$\omega = \alpha/t\\\\\omega =3.23/8\\\\\omega =0.4 rad/s$

$KE= 1/2*I* \omega^2$

$KE=1/2*0.034*0.4^2\\\\KE=1/2*0.034*0.16\\\\KE=0.00272\\\\KE=2.72*10^-3J$

An electromagnet is a device in which moving electric charges (current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. What’s one advantage

yan [13]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. One advantage of using electromagnets in devices would be that electromagnets can easily be turned on and off. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
