Kinetic energy varies jointly as the mass and the square of the velocity. A mass of 12 grams and velocity of 3 centimeters per second has a kinetic energy of 54 ergs. Find the kinetic energy for a mass of 2 grams and velocity of 6 centimeters per second.

36 ergs

Step-by-step explanation:

Joint variation is:

If z varies jointly to x and y, then we have the expression: z = kxy, where k is a constant.

In this case, z is kinetic energy (KE), x is mass (m), and y is the square of the velocity (). So:

KE =

We have some values we can plug in to solve for k:

54 = k * 12 *

k = 1/2

Now, we have:

To find the kinetic energy for m = 2 and v = 6, we have:

KE =

Thus, the kinetic energy is 36 ergs.

Hope this helps!

36 ergs

Step-by-step explanation:

KE = k(mv²)

54 = k(12×3²)

k = 54/108 = ½

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 2 × 6² = 36

134.6 us dollars

step-by-step explanation:

1 us dollar = 1.33 canadian dollars

so, 150 us dollars = 150 × 1.33 = $199.5.

in canada, the money mitchell spent = 20 canadian dollars.

remaining canadian dollars with him = 199.5 - 20 = 179.5.

after mitchell returned to us, he exchanged the remaining canadian dollars to us dollars.

179.5 canadian dollars = 179.5 × 0.75 = 134.6 us dollars.
