When Jane is sliding down a slide, she is demonstrating translational motion.
Answer:
2.32 s
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion,
s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1
Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of the moon, t = time.
Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s
Then,
s = g't²/2
make t the subject of the equation,
t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2
Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²
Substitute this value into equation 2
t = √(2×10/3.7)
t = √(20/3.7)
t = √(5.405)
t = 2.32 s.
When the object is at the top of the hill it has the most potential energy. If it is sitting still, it has no kinetic energy. As the object begins to roll down the hill, it loses potential energy, but gains kinetic energy. The potential energy of the position of the object at the top of the hill is getting converted into kinetic energy. Hope this helped. :)
