You are riding a 450-kg horse at 14.4 km h east along a desert road. you have inertia

You are riding a 450-kg horse at 14.4 km> h east along a desert road. you have inertia equal to 60.0 kg. a police officer driving past (whom you know and who knows your inertia and the horse’s inertia) measures your speed relative to the police car and calculates your kinetic energy to be 16.32 kj. what possible speed(s) could the police car have been driving at the instant the officer measured your speed?

v_{p1} = 19.32 m/s  and   v_{p2}  = 27.32 m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy has as formula

        K = ½ m v²

Where m is the mass and v the speed of the body.

If the policeman calculates the kinetic energy, let's clear the speed

       v = √ 2K/m

Let's reduce the units to the SI system

       K = 16.32 KJ (1000 J / kJ) = 16.32 10³ J

Let's calculate

      v = RA (2 16.32 10 3/60)

      v = 23.32 m / s

The rider at 14.4 km/h, reduce

      v_{h} = 14.4 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 4.00 m / s

We already have the relative speed of the two (rider and police car) which is 23.32, we also have the rider speed 4.0 m / s, let's calculate the possible police speeds

These two speeds come from going in the same direction or in opposite directions

        v_{r} = v_{h} ± v_{p}

        v_{p}  = v_{r} - vj

        v_{p1}  = 23.32 - 4

        v_{p1} = 19.32 m/s

        v_{p2}  = v_{r} + vj

        v_{p2} = 23.32 +4

        v_{p2}  = 27.32 m/s

the most accurate qualitative description of the magnetic field vector B inside the cylindrical resistor is "The magnetic field vector points radially away from the axis of the cylinder."

Explanation:

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electric charges in relative motion.
