A ball is thrown vertically upward. As it rises, what happens to its kinetic energy?.

1 answer:

3 0

When ball is thrown vertically upward. As it rises, what happens to its kinetic energy Kinetic energy decreases.

At the highest point, the kinetic energy is zero because all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy. Therefore the kinetic energy is zero at the highest point. Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. Therefore, if an object is thrown straight up, its kinetic energy is zero at its maximum height.

An object thrown vertically upwards will be slowed down by the earth's gravity. Its speed decreases until it reaches a maximum altitude where the speed becomes zero. Gravity then accelerates it downward evenly. If you throw a ball into the air, it will point up, but gravity will slow it down. The ball is slowing down and has zero velocity at the top of its flight.

true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

nalin [4]

Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

An artillery shell is launched on a flat, horizontal field at an angle of α = 40.8° with respect to the horizontal and with an i

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1317.4 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Angle= $\alpha=40.8^{\circ}$

Initial speed = $v_0=346m/s$

We have to find the horizontal distance covered by the shell after 5.03 s.

Horizontal component of initial speed= $v_{ox}=v_0cos\theta=346cos40.8=261.9m/s$

Vertical component of initial speed= $v_{oy}=346sin40.8=226.1m/s$

Time=t=5.03 s

Horizontal distance = $Horizontal\;velocity\times time$

Using the formula

Horizontal distance= $261.9\times 5.03$

Horizontal distance=1317.4 m

Hence, the horizontal distance covered by the shell=1317.4 m

Question is down below

rosijanka [135]

The vertical components of velocity is 10.35 m/s and the horizontal component of velocity is 38.6 m/s

<h3>What are the components of velocity?</h3>

We know that velocity is a vector quantity, a vector often can be resolved into its components. The vertical components is V sinθ while the horizontal component is vcosθ.

Hence;

Vertical component = 40 m/s sin 15 degrees = 10.35 m/s

Horizontal component = 40 cos 15 degrees = 38.6 m/s
