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

1 answer:

3 0

The total energy of a ball stays constant as it is thrown upward because potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases. When the ball reaches its maximum height, the velocity is zero. Therefore, only potential energy exists rather than kinetic energy.

The thrower's movement imparts kinetic energy to a ball thrown vertically. The maximum height that can be achieved after leaving the hand will depend on the actual velocity. Air resistance causes some of this energy to be lost to the air as frictional dissipation, which warms the air in the area as well as the ball's surface.

We can just talk about how the ball moves when it is in the gravitational field of the Earth if we ignore this for the purposes of this discussion. The ball's total energy as it is released is comprised of both its gravitational potential energy and its kinetic energy, which result from the ball's velocity (due to its position).

The gravitational potential energy begins to rise as the ball moves vertically upward at precisely the same pace as it loses kinetic energy. The ball experiences a steady downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2, which causes it to initially decline until it briefly comes to a stop at its highest point.

Due to its current position in the Earth's gravitational field relative to its initial position, all of the energy at this point is gravitational potential energy. As the ball experiences constant downward acceleration, its motion immediately becomes apparent in that direction because the acceleration easily transforms gravitational potential energy back into kinetic energy.

As a result, at every point along the trajectory, the total of these interchangeable forms of energy remains constant.

The mass of a ship before launch is 55,000 metric tons. The ship is launched down a ramp and drops a total of 10 vertical meters

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

ΔT = 17.11 °C

Explanation:

In this case, we have a ship standing on a place with a given mass and it's about to be launched to a lock containing water.

At first, before launch, the ship has a potential energy, and when the ship hits the water after being launched, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

So, let's calculate first the potential energy of the ship:

E = mgh (1)

We have the mass, gravity and height, so we need to replace the given data here. Before we do that, let's remember to use the correct units. A ton is 1000 kg, so replacing and converting we have:

E = (55000 ton * 1000 kg/ton) * (9.8 m/s²) * 10 m

E = 5.39x10⁹ J

Now this energy will be the same when the ship hits the water, only that is kinetic energy that will result in the rise of temperature. To get this rise we use the following expression:

E = m * C * ΔT (2)

We have the energy, the mass of water (assuming density of water as 1 kg/m³) and the specific heat, so, replacing in (2) and solving for ΔT we have:

ΔT = E / m * C (3)

ΔT = 5.39x10⁹ / 4200 * 75000

Hope this helps

The most common isotope of hydrogen contains a proton and an electron 'separated by about -11-27 5.0 x 10 m. The mass of proton

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A) F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N, B) F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N, C) $\frac{F_e}{F_g}$ = 2.3 10³⁹

Explanation:

A) It is asked to find the force of attraction due to the masses of the particles

Let's use the law of universal attraction

F = $G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

let's calculate

F = $6.67 \ 10^{-11} \ \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} \ 1.67 \ 10 ^{-27} }{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2 }$

F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N

B) in this part it is asked to calculate the electric force

Let's use Coulomb's law

F = $k \ \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

let's calculate

F = $9 \ 10^9 \ \frac{(1.6 \ 10^{-19} )^2}{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2}$

F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N

C) It is asked to find the relationship between these forces

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{9.2 \ 10^{-8} }{4.05 \ 10^{-47} }$

= 2.3 10³⁹

therefore the electric force is much greater than the gravitational force

(20 points) You are at the center of a boat and have been rowing the boat for a long time. You weigh only 80 kg and your 120 kg

valina [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the first weight be $m_ 1$ = 80 kg

The weight of the buddy be $m_2$ = 120 kg

The weight of Bubba be $m_3$ = 60 kg

Also, since you and Budda are a distance of 4m to each other, then the length to which both meet buddy will be:

$x_1 = x_3 = \dfrac{4}{2} \\ \\ = 2$

The length of the boat be $x_2$ = 4 m

∴

We can find the center of mass of the system by using the formula:

$X_{CM} = \dfrac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2+m_3x_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{(80 \times 2)+(120\times4)+(60\times2)}{80+120+60} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{160+480+120}{260} \\ \\ \mathbf{X_{CM} = 2.923}$

A 86 kg human stands on the surface of Venus. The mass of Venus is 4.9 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.1 × 106 m. Collapse questio

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus= $m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg$

Radius= $r=6.1\times 10^6$ m

Mass of human= $m_2=86 kg$

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where G=Gravitational constant= $6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2$

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human= $F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}$

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F= $755.37N$
