A cat’s crinkle ball toy of mass 15g is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 3m/s. Assume in this problem that air drag i

s negligible. If the gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the point where it leaves your hand, what is the gravitational potential energy when the ball is at its peak height?

Answer:

P.E = 0.068 J = 68 mJ

Explanation:

First we need to find the height attained by the ball toy. For this purpose, we will be using 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = -9.8 m/s²  (negative sign due to upward motion)

h = height attained by the ball toy = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since it momentarily stops at the highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 3 m/s

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)h = (0 m/s)² - (3 m/s)²

h = (9 m²/s²)/(19.6 m/s²)

h = 0.46 m

Now, the gravitational potential energy of ball at its peak is given by the following formula:

P.E = mgh

P.E = (0.015 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(0.46 m)

<u>P.E = 0.068 J = 68 mJ</u>

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the tri
Pie
Avg sped = total distance/ total time = 1350 mi/ 5 hrs= 270mph (i dont know if ur teacher wants you to convert this to m/s) 

300miles are traveled in 1 hr. So, 300 *2hrs = 600 miles south
750/250= 3hrs north
Total distance = 600 miles + 750 miles= 1350 miles
Total time is =  3hrs + 2hrs= 5hrs

What is the gravitational field strength of a 5 kg object that weighs 25 N?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

ExplanaThis is a way of measuring how much gravity there is. The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength.

Gravitational field strength = Weight/mass unit is N/kg

Weight = mass x gravitational field strength unit is N

On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths. The Moon has a gravitational field strength of 1.6 N/kg. You might have seen films of astronauts leaping high on the moon.

Here on Earth, if I jump I am pulled back to ground by gravity. What is my weight? My mass is 80kg and if we multiply by gravitational field strength (10N/kg) - my weight is 800N. Now if I go to the moon, my mass will be the same, 80kg. We multiply that by the moon's gravitational field strength, which is 1.6 N/ kg. That means my weight on the moon is 128N. So I have different weights on the Earth and on the Moon. That's why astronauts can jump high into the air on the moon - they're lighter up there.

Jupiter is a very large planet with strong gravitational field strength of 25 N/ kg. My body is 80kg. If I go to Jupiter my weight is going to be 25 x 80 = 2,000 N. That means I wouldn't be able to get off the ground or stand up straight! I would probably be lying down all the time there. So weight varies depending on which planet you are on. You can find out more yourself by looking up tables of weight on different planets.tion:

a ball moves at a constant speed of 1/2 meter per second. How much time does it take the ball to move 1 meter?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

if a ball travels 1/2 meter per second, and there's 2 halfs in a whole, 1/2 meter per second x 2 halfs in a whole meter is 2 seconds to travel a meter
