To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.
This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.
The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.
Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.
In several of the questions you've posted during the past day, we've already said that a wave with larger amplitude carries more energy. That idea is easy to apply to this question.
You are currently converting Distance and Length units from Centimeters to Feet 321 Centimeters (cm) = 10.5315 Feet (ft) This is a hard one but see if this helps if not let me now and i can try again..
Answer:
0.83 m/s
Explanation:
FIrst of all, we have to find the time of flight, i.e. the time the baseball needs to reach the ground. This can be done by using the equation for the vertical motion:
where
h is the initial height
u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
Substituting h = 1.8 m and solving for t,
We know that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is
d = 0.5 m
Therefore, we can find the horizontal velocity (which is constant during the whole motion):
