Potential energy<span> is the </span>energy<span> that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. It is calculated by the expression PE = mgh where mg is the weight of the book and h is the height. It is calculated as follows:

PE = 50(1) = 50 J
</span>PE = 50(1.5) = 75 J
PE = 50(2) = 100 J

A rifle fires a bullet at a velocity of 78 m/s, 40 degrees above the horizontal. Determine the height (h) above the starting pos
qwelly [4]

Answer:

H = Vy t - 1/2 g t^2  height of an object with an initial "vertical" velocity

                                 at t sec after firing

Vy = 78 m/s * sin 40 = .643 * 78 m/s = 50.1 m/s

H = 50.1 * 6 - 1/2 * 9.8 * 6^2 = 300 m - 176 m = 124 m

II Force on a tennis ball. The record speed for a tennis ball that is served is 73.14 m/s. During a serve, the ball typically st
AveGali [126]

Answer:

F=248.5W N

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma. We will use their averages always. The average acceleration the tennis ball experimented is, by definition:

a=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}

Since we start counting at 0s and the ball departs from rest, this is just a=\frac{v}{t}

So we can write:

F=ma=\frac{mv}{t}=\frac{gmv}{gt}

Where in the last step we have just multiplied and divided by g, the acceleration of gravity. This allows us to introduce the weight of the ball W since W=gm, so we have:

F=\frac{Wv}{gt}=\frac{v}{gt}W

Substituting our values:

F=\frac{(73.14m/s)}{(9.81m/s^2)(30\times10^{-3}s)}W=248.5W N

Where the average force exerted has been written it terms of the tennis ball's weight W.

an object is moving with initial velocity of 5 m/s. After 10 seconds final velocity is 10 m/s. Calculate its acceleration.​
Brut [27]

Answer:

0.5m/s2

Explanation:

acceleration= change in velocity/time taken

= v - u/ t

= 10-5/10

=5/10

= 0.5m/s2
