This Happens When You Don't Properly Vent a Storage Tank

"This happens when you don't properly vent a sealed storage tank before emptying it. Hot gas/air in the sealed container is left to cool. The air pressure difference inside is so great that the structure is compromised."

Newton mistakenly believed that the kinetic energy of a moving body was directly related to its velocity.

Graph of kinetic energy vs. velocity

Ex 1

Given

A 60.0-kg runner has 1920 joules of kinetic energy.
Find: her speed (V = ?)

KE = (½)mv2

1920 J = (½)(60.0 kg)V2

1920 J = 30V2

64.0 = V2

V = 8.00 m/s

Summary — W, KE, PE

K.E. - equivalent to work needed to get an object to a certain speed or to stop it.

P.E. - Equivalent to work needed to get an object to where it is or into its present condition. (spring)

W = Fd = ΔPE

Given

W = 40 J

ΔPE = 40 J
