(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.

A car moves forward up a hill at 12 m/s with a uniform backward acceleration of 1.6 m/s2. What is its displacement after 6 s?

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the car, v = 12 m/s

acceleration of the car, a = -1.6 m/s² (backward acceleration)

time of motion, t = 6 s

The displacement of the car after 6s is given by the following kinematic equation;

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

d = (12 x 6) + ¹/₂(-1.6)(6)²

d = 72 - 28.8

d = 43.2 m

Therefore, the displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m

Where:
obj. is the distance of the object
im. is the distance of the image
f is the focal length

the coefficient of kinetic friction between a couch and the floor is 0.65. if the couch has a mass of 42 kg and you push it with

Anna [14]

Explanation:

The net force along the horizontal direction is

$\sum{F_x} = F_{applied} - f$

where f is the frictional force. We can find the frictional force by looking at the vertical forces acting on the couch:

$\sum{F_y} = N - mg = 0 \Rightarrow N = mg$

From the definition of frictional force,

$f = \mu{N} = \mu{mg} = (0.65)(42\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)$

$\:\:\:\:= 267.5\:\text{N}$

Therefore, the net force on the couch is

$\sum{F_x} = 600\:\text{N} - 267.5\:\text{kN} = 332.5\:\text{N}$
