A 20-kg bicycle carrying a 50-kg girl is traveling at a speed of 8 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the girl
and bicycle?

The answer to your question is Ke = 2240 J

Explanation:

Data

mass of the object = 20 kg

mass of the girl = 50 kg

speed = 8 m/s

Kinetic energy = Ke = ?

Formula

Ke = 1/2 mv²

Process

Kinetic energy is due to the movement of an object.

1.- Calculate the total mass

Total mass = 20 + 50 = 70 kg

2.- Substitution

Ke = 1/2(70)(8)²

3.- Simplification

Ke = 1/2(4480)

4.- Result

Ke = 2240 J

the answer

explanation:

the capillary tube was too close to the bottom of the beaker.

the ruler may have moved.

water got into the capillary tube.

the temperature was not allowed to equilibrate in the 2-4 minutes.
