He can increase the total energy of the system by spinning the top faster.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

The term energy refers to the ability to do work. The total energy of the system refers to the gravitational potential energy and the rotational energy of the top.

Hence, he can increase the total energy of the system by spinning the top faster.

A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i

scoray [572]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.

022 (part 1 of 4) 10.0 points A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 24.5 m/s. How high does it rise? The accelerati

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Part 1)

H = 30.6 m

Part 2)

t = 2.5 s

Part 3)

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

$v_f = 24.5 m/s$

Explanation:

Part 1)

initial speed of the ball upwards

$v_i = 24.5 m/s$

so maximum height of the ball is given by

$H = \frac{v_i^2}{2g}$

$H = \frac{24.5^2}{2(9.80)}$

$H = 30.6 m$

Part 2)

As we know that final speed will be zero at maximum height

so we will have

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 24.5 = (-9.8)t$

$t = 2.5 s$

Part 3)

Since the time of ascent of ball is same as time of decent of the ball

so here ball will same time to hit the ground back

so here it is given as

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

since the acceleration due to earth will be same during its return path as well as the time of the motion is also same

so here its final speed will be same as that of initial speed

so we have

$v_f = 24.5 m/s$

Answer:

a = 9.76 m/s/s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is released from rest

so the displacement of the object in vertical direction is given as

$y = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$4.88 = \frac{1}{2}a(1^2)$

$a = 9.76 m/s^2$

Answer:

v = 29.7 m/s

Explanation:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

$a = 90 m/s^2$

time taken by the rocket

t = 0.33 min

final speed of the rocket is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 0 + (90)(0.33)$

$v_f = 29.7 m/s$

Answer:

Part 1)

y = 25.95 m

Part 2)

d = 6.72 m

Explanation:

Part 1)

As it took t = 2.3 s to hit the water surface

so here we will have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2.3^2)$

$y = 25.95 m$

Part 2)

Distance traveled by it in horizontal direction is given as

$d = v_x t$

$d = 2.92 \times 2.3$

$d = 6.72 m$

hammer [34]

Answer:

$a_M=1.92a_A$

Explanation:

$\omega_M=\omega_A$ = Angular speed

$r_M$ = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

$r_A$ = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

$\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A$

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex
