Here are the answers to the activity questions on page 216 of the study guide in one whole sheet of paper:
5. Kinetic energy (KE) varies jointly as mass (m) and the square of velocity (v2).
KE = kmv2
Given:
Mass (m) = 8 g
Velocity (v) = 5 cm/s
KE = 100 ergs
Find k:
100 ergs = k(8 g)(5 cm/s)2
100 ergs = k(8)(25)
100 ergs = 200k
k = 100/200 = 1/2
KE = kmv2
Given:
Mass (m) = 6 g
