    Velocity
AI Thread Summary
To solve the velocity problem, the work done on the object can be calculated using the formula Work = Force x Distance, which in this case is 38N multiplied by 0.569m (56.9 cm). This work is equal to the kinetic energy (KE) of the object, allowing the equation KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2 to be used. By rearranging the kinetic energy formula, the velocity can be determined by solving for v in the equation v = sqrt(2 * KE / mass). It's important to clarify that all work is assumed to convert into kinetic energy without any losses.

Need help with velocity problems! PLease

Homework Statement


Work is also measured in Joules. If a 2.59 kg object moves a distance of 56.9 cm as a result of 38N of foce. How fast is the object moving.


Homework Equations


?


The Attempt at a Solution


I started by trying to find the velocity using the square root of 2K(kinetic Energy) divided by the mass.

what did you get for KE in terms of the values provided?

idk i need help with this stuff in general
 


The question is a bit fuzzy IMO, but it starts with a statement about work.

Work is defined as force x distance.

If we can assume that all of that work went into propelling the object and none into say potential energy like moving it up a ramp:

the kinetic energy of the mass should be equal to that same quantity.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
