- 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_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardThe formula for the amount A in an investmentaccount with a nominal interest rate r at any timet is given by A(t)=a(e)rt, where a is the amount ofprincipal initially deposited into an account thatcompounds continuously.
