- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardAn object is dropped from a tower, 166 ft above the ground. The object's height above ground t sec into the fall is s= 166 - 1612. a. What is the objects velocity, speed, and acceleration at time t? b. About how long does it take the object to hit the ground? c. What is the object's velocity at the moment of impact? The object's velocity at time t is -32 The object's speed at time t is 3.22 ft/ sec. The object's acceleration at time tis ] t/sec?. (Simplify your answer.) It takes sec for the object to hit the ground. (Round to the nearest tenth.) ft/ sec. The object's velocity at the moment of impact is (Round to the nearest tenth.)arrow_forwardAn object is dropped from a tower, 199 ft above the ground. The object's height above ground t sec into the fall is s = 199 – 1612. a. What is the object's velocity, speed, and acceleration at time t? b. About how long does it take the object to hit the ground? c. What is the object's velocity at the moment of impact?arrow_forward

The pyramid, at the top, has the shape of a square with sides of length 8 cm, and the height is 13 cm. bị b2 Find the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 2 cm. cm/secarrow_forwardAn object is dropped from a tower, 182 ft above the ground. The object's height above ground t sec into the fall is s = 182 – 162. a. What is the object's velocity, speed, and acceleration at time t? b. About how long does it take the object to hit the ground? c. What is the object's velocity at the moment of impact? ..... The object's velocity at time t is The object's speed at time t is ft/sec. The object's acceleration at time t is ft/sec². (Simplify your answer.) It takes sec for the object to hit the ground. (Round to the nearest tenth.) The object's velocity at the moment of impact is ft/sec. (Round to the nearest tenth.)arrow_forward
- An object is dropped from a tower, 181 ft above the ground. The object's height above ground t sec into the fall is s = 181 - 16t². a. What is the object's velocity, speed, and acceleration at time t? b. About how long does it take the object to hit the ground? c. What is the object's velocity at the moment of impact? The object's velocity at time t is The object's speed at time t is - ft/sec. The object's acceleration at time t is (Simplify your answer.) It takes (Round to the nearest tenth.) ft/sec². sec for the object to hit the ground. The object's velocity at the moment of impact is (Round to the nearest tenth.) ft/sec.
