A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 30.2 m to another building with a height of H2 = 12.0

m.
The ball is kicked with a speed of v0 = 15.10 m/s at an angle of θ = 74.1° with respect to the horizontal. The mass of a size 5 soccer ball is m = 450 g. When the ball lands on the other building, its speed is 19.89 m/s.
1. How much energy was lost to air friction? The ball is kicked without a spin.

Hi there!

Initially, we have gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. If we set the zero-line at H2 (12.0m), then the ball at the second building only has kinetic energy.

We also know there was work done on the ball by air resistance that decreased the ball's total energy.

Let's do a summation using the equations:
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\\\PE = mgh

Our initial energy consists of both kinetic and potential energy (relative to the final height of the ball)

E_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2)

Our final energy, since we set the zero-line to be at H2, is just kinetic energy.

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

And:
W_A = E_i - E_f

The work done by air resistance is equal to the difference between the initial energy and the final energy of the soccer ball.

Therefore:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2) -  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

Solving for the work done by air resistance:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}(.450)(15.1^2)+ (.450)(9.8)(30.2 - 12) -  \frac{1}{2}(.450)(19.89^2)

W_A = \boxed{42.552 J}

What is one advantage of doing a field experiment instead of a laboratory experiment
Flauer [41]

It mimics the real world accurately

Explanation:

Experiments conducted in the field clearly presents the real world at it is to the scientist. Hardly can any part be controlled precisely and this gives a near to perfect scenario.

  • In the laboratory, for example, an organism is isolated from its environment and might not fully display its natural instinct and physiological capabilities.
  • Most laboratory set up are driven towards a model instead of real life settings.
  • The laboratory is more controlled and less varied and might truly represent the real world. It will only portray a part of the real world and series of further tests might have to be carried out to have a better model.

What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Well, a hurricane is a storm with violent winds (more less with a force of 12 in the scale that measures winds) and it happens especially in the Caribbean sea. While a typhoon is also a strong storm but it happens especially in the Indian region and the western pacific oceans.

In conclusion, their difference is the area in which they happen.
