The braking force x stopping distance (assuming constant braking force) is equal to the loss of kinetic energy of the vehicle.

And if it's not constant, you can integrate the dot product of the force vector and the differential x-vector.

If you want the power of heat generation, you will need to find how much energy is being dissipated (i.e. how much kinetic energy is lost) per unit of time.

What collision has no energy loss?

An elastic collision is a type of collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy. In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. This means that the total kinetic energy of the system before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision.


The potential energy of a freely falling body decreases continuouslyWhat happens to the loss of potential energy?

The loss of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the body falls. This kinetic energy increases as the potential energy decreases, resulting in the total mechanical energy of the body (the sum of kinetic and potential energy) remaining constant in the absence of any external forces like air resistance.


When an object loses kinetic energy due to a force of kinetic friction is the loss of kinetic energy transformed primarily into potential or thermal energy?

Kinetic friction is associated with thermal energy (and sound or light).


What happens to the kinetic energy of the gas condensates?

When a gas condenses, its particles lose kinetic energy as they come closer together and slow down. This loss of kinetic energy causes the gas to transition into a denser state, such as a liquid or solid. The released kinetic energy is typically transferred to the surroundings as heat.


How many joules of kinetic energy does the pendulum have when it has 100 J of potential energy?

Assuming there is no loss of energy due to friction or other factors, all 100 J of potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy when the pendulum reaches the bottom of its swing, so it will have 100 J of kinetic energy.


Energy an object has due to its motion?

kinetic energyThe energy of motion is kinetic energy.


What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?

A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.


What is the impact of the loss of kinetic energy in inelastic collisions on the overall momentum of the system?

In inelastic collisions, some kinetic energy is lost as heat or sound, which decreases the overall momentum of the system.


What happenes in an inelastic collision?

In inelastic collisions, there is a net loss of kinetic energy after the collision has occurred.


Suppose a falling object loses 7J of potential energy. How much kinetic energy will it gain?

From what I understand: PE - Potential Energy (mgh) KE - Kinetic Energy (1/2 mv2) If one dismisses the friction with air (conservation of energy), a loss of 7 joules for potential energy means a gain of 7 Joules in kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of a substance is the what kinetic energy of its particles?
