How do you show mathematically why a small increase in your vehicle's speed results in a tremendous increase in your vehicles kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy of a vehicle, of mass m kilograms and travelling at velocity v metres per second, is 1/2*m*v2.Using calculus, d(ke)/dv = m*v.That is, the kinetic energy (ke) increases by the product of the mass and the velocity. Whether or not that can be considered "tremendous" is another matter.The kinetic energy of a vehicle, of mass m kilograms and travelling at velocity v metres per second, is 1/2*m*v2.Using calculus, d(ke)/dv = m*v.That is, the kinetic energy (ke) increases by the product of the mass and the velocity.

How much work has to be done on a 5 kg sled to increase its speed from 10 m s to 15 m s?

Work is simply a transfer of energy. Calculate the kinetic energy for both speeds, then calculate the difference. The formula for kinetic energy is KE = (1/2)mv2. If the mass is in kilograms, and the velocity (or speed) is in meter/second, the energy is in Joule.


What is the equation for a falling object?

The equation for the kinetic energy of a falling object is kinetic energy=1/2 an object's mass multiplied by it's speed squared. From this, we can work out the speed. First you need to know its weight and its kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is obtained by working out it's potential energy before it fell (Potential energy= mass multiplied by gravitational pull multiplied by height. Then, at whatever point during the fall, the decrease in potential energy marks the increase in kinetic energy. From then we work out the speed. Example; An object that weighs 8.1 kilograms is 10 metres above the ground. It's potential energy is therefore 8.1x10(gravitational pull on earth is always 10)x10. So it has a potential energy of 810 joules. it falls 5 metres, so it's potential energy is 8.1x10x5 (405 joules). The total energy, we know, is 810J, so 810-a05=405, giving it kinetic energy of 405J. The kinetic energy formula is then rearranged as speed squared=kinetic energy/ 0.5m. Our equation is therefore speed squared= 405/4.05, so speed squared=100. The square root of 100 is 10 so the speed is 10 metres per second (36 kilometres per hour).


What is a car's kinetic energy if it is 1500 kilograms and is moving at a speed of ten miles per second?

Are you sure you mean 10 miles per second? That is a speed of 36,000 mph (unless you are referring to the speed of the car relative to the orbit of the earth as the earth orbits the sun, but that is approx 19 miles per second). I think you mean 10 metres per second (as you've used a metric measure for the mass of the car). kinetic energy = ½ × mass × velocity² → KE = ½ × 1500 kg × (10 m/s)² → KE = 75000 kgm²/s² = 75000 Joules = 75 kJ


How are watts and joules related?

This is a very good question. A joule is a unit of energy, and a watt is a unit of power. Power is the rate at which energy is converted from potenital to kinetic energy. So power is some quantity of energy divided by some unit of time. In the SI system, a watt is equal to 1 joule per second. Real life example. A 60W lightbulb uses 60 joules of energy every second. Hope this helps!

What is the energy of a system by virtue of its motion?

That's called kinetic energy. The formula is: Kinetic energy = (1/2) x mass x velocity2. If mass is in kilograms, and velocity (or speed, really) in meters per second, the energy will be in Joules.

What is an energy relay race?

Energy relay game is a race game, in which there are four runner (One team). There are three points where the first runner of the team passes the stick to the second runner. The second runner passes the stick to third runner and third runner passes the stick to last runner. This cycle is completed by all the participating teams. The team who did this first is the winner.

How factors are used to calculate the kinetic energy of an object?

KE = (1/2)mv2 where m = mass (in kilograms), and v = velocity (in meters/second) this gives you the kinetic energy in units of Joules


If a body with a mass of 88 kg is moving at a velocity of 13.89 meters per second what is it's kinetic energy?

Kinetic Energy (KE) can be represented by the following formula: KE = 0.5mv2. In this case kinetic energy would equal 8,489.0124 joules.


Which has the most kinetic energy a 1000 kg car traveling 30 ms or a car traveling 45 ms?

WOW, 5 MILES PER SECOND. I guess that I would have to calculate the miles per hour. To do this, we must multiply 5 miles per second times 3600(the number of seconds in an hour). That is 18000 miles per hour. I like to work in the SI system, so by converting this to meters per second, we get 8.04672E3 meters per second. Kinetic energy is defined as one half mvsquared. The Kinetic Energy is equal to 3.2374E10 Joules.

True or false kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body in motion the form of energy shown by a stationary train is kinetic energy-?

Kinetic energy is possessed by a moving body, that is true. But if the train is stationary it cannot have kinetic energy.
