both of these can be solved by applying
KE = (1/2)mv^2 and solving for the appropriate value
zarkam21:
okay so for the first one it would KE=(1/2)(34)*8.5^2
zarkam21:
right?
Vocaloid:
good

zarkam21:
ke=1228.25
Vocaloid:
good, just don't forget units (joules)
zarkam21:
okay and for the second one
KE=1/2*1150*27000^2
Vocaloid:
keep in mind that 27000 is the kinetic energy not the velocity
zarkam21:
ohhh so what would i substitute for the v then

Vocaloid:
the question is asking you to solve for v so this is your unknown
zarkam21:
so KE=1/2*1150*v^2
Vocaloid:
yup, solve that for v
zarkam21:
575?
Vocaloid:
check your calculations again

zarkam21:
okay
zarkam21:
30
zarkam21:
because i squared both sides. then i multiplied 1150*1/2 all under a sqrt
Vocaloid:
27,000 = (1/2)(1150)v^2
keep in mind the symbol only applies to the v
to isolate v^2 you must divide both sides by (1/2) and 1150 first and ~then~ take the square root
zarkam21:
27
