(1) The work done by Howard is 9 J.

(2) The change in kinetic energy of the ball is 4.9 J.

(3) After the ball was launched, the work done on the ball was the change in kinetic energy of the ball = 4.9 J.

(4) Gravity did the work

<h3>Work done by Howard</h3>

The work done by Howard can be calculated using the principle of conservation of energy.

Work done by Howard = Kinetic energy of the basketball

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂(0.5 kg)(6 m/s)²

K.E = 9 J

<h3>Change in kinetic energy of the ball after landing</h3>

ΔK.E = K.E(final) - K.E(initial)

ΔK.E = ¹/₂mvf² - ¹/₂mvi²

ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(vf² - vi²)

ΔK.E = ¹/₂(0.5)(7.46² - 6²)

ΔK.E = 4.9 J

After the ball was launched, the work done on the ball was the change in kinetic energy of the ball = 4.9 J.

Gravity did the work, since change in kinetic energy = gravitational energy.

Recall that impulse = momentum (FAt = Ap and that Ap is just mx v). How long (time) must a group of people pull with a force of

elixir [45]

The time taken for the group of people to pull the car, giving it a velocity of 1.5 m/s is 3.75 s

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity i.e

Momentum = mass × velocity

To answer the question given, we'll begin by calculating the change in momentum. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass = 1500 Kg

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 1.5 m/s

<h3>Change in momentum =? </h3>

Change in momentum = m(v – u)

Change in momentum = 1500 (1.5 – 0)

Change in momentum = 1500 × 1.5

<h3>Change in momentum = 2250 Kg•m/s</h3>

Finally, we shall determine the time

Change in momentum = 2250 Kg•m/s

Force (F) = 600 N

Impulse = Ft = change in momentum

FT = change in momentum

600 × t = 2250

Divide both side by 600

t = 2250 / 600

Thus, the time required is 3.75 s

Answer:

D. The primary source, because it was written by the researcher

Explanation:

One should learn to trust the primary source more because it is the real work of the researcher.

A primary work defines the work of research from his or her experimental findings.

The primary source presents experimental data and other subordinates ones to reach a conclusion as seen from the view of the researcher.
A secondary source implies someone else documenting their own opinion about the primary experimental set up.
This can get dicey in the sense that results can be twisted to serve other ulterior motives.

What is the velocity (in m/s) of a 550 kg roller coaster cart at the bottom of the track if it started with 990,000 J of gravita

sesenic [268]

Answer:

60m/s

Explanation:

initial energy = final energy

g.p.e = k.e

k.e = 0.5 × mass × velocity²

g.p.e = 990000J as per Question

990000Nm = 0.5 × 550 × V²

V² = 3600

V = 60m/s
