Elastic energy of rubber straps is converted into the kinetic energy of the capsule which is converted into  gravitational potential energy as capsule.

<h3>What is energy transformation?</h3>

In accordance with the law of energy conservation, energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. This implies that energy is not lost and continues to exist.

The energy conversion that takes place as the 'rider' is strapped in is fired high into the sky by rubber straps is elastic energy of rubber straps is converted into the kinetic energy of the capsule which is converted into  gravitational potential energy as capsule.

A biologist looking through a microscope sees a bacterium at r⃗ 1=2.2i^+3.7j^−1.2k^μm(1μm=10−6m). After 6.2 s , it's at r⃗ 2=4.6
stiv31 [10]

The Average velocity for the bacterium is 0.75 unit/sec.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given values are in the vector form

Where,

dS = distance covered

dT = time interval

Now, to calculate distance covered, we have

|d S|=\sqrt{d S^{2}}

&

d S=r_{2}-r_{1}

d S=(4.6 i+1.9 k)-(2.2 i+3.7 j - 1.2 k)

d S=(4.6-2.2) i+(0-3.7) j+(1.9+1.2) k

d S=2.4 i-3.7 j+3.1 k

Now, putting these values in the standard formula to evaluate the average velocity, we get;

v_{a v g}=\frac{|\mathrm{d} S|}{d T}

v(a v g)=\frac{|\sqrt{\left\{\left(2.4^{2}\right)+\left(3.7^{2}\right)+\left(3.1^{2}\right)\right\}}|}{7.2}

As dT=7.2 sec

Now,

Solving the equation, we get;

v(a v g)=\frac{5.390732789}{7.2}

\begin{aligned}&v(a v g)=\frac{5.39}{7.2}\\&v(a v g)=0.748611111\\&v(a v g)=0.75 \text { units / sec }\end{aligned}

Hence, the average velocity for the bacterium is 0.75 unit/sec.

Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?
uranmaximum [27]
Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.
