Rank the following velocities according to the kinetic energy a particle will have with each velocity, greatest first: (a)

To rank:
The velocity according to the greatest kinetic energy at first.
Answer to Problem 1Q
Solution:
All velocities have the same kinetic energy.
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
To rank kinetic energy, we have to find first find the resultant velocity, and then use the formula for kinetic energy in which the mass is the same for all velocities. Therefore, kinetic energy is ranked only on the magnitude of velocity.
2) Formula:
i)
ii)
3) Given:
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
vi)
4) Calculation:
First find the resultant velocity as follows:
For
For
For
For
For
For
Now kinetic energy can be found by using the following formula:
Assume
So
As the resultant velocity
Conclusion:
Resultant velocity is found by using Pythagoras theorem; from where the kinetic energy could be calculated.
