Suppose you are driving a car and your friend, who is with you in the car, tosses a softball up and down from her point of view.

A second friend of yours stands on the street and sees you passing by and says, "You are testing projectile motion with the softball!". Your friend on the street claims that each of you measures a different value for the vertical component of the initial velocity of the softball. Do you agree with the statement?

Answer:

No, i disagree.

Explanation:

If the car is moving, it only has a velocity with a component in the horizontal direction. If we use galilean relativity, the velocity of the ball observed by my friend standing in the ground should only be affected in the horizonal direction, while the vertical stays the same for both observers.

What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.5 kg and hits the cathers glove with a force of 25n
ioda
Acceleration is found if we have the force and mass. 

With the following equation: F = ma, we can find the missing values. 

F = 25n
M = 0.5 kg
a = ?

a = f/m
a = 25/0.5
a = 50

a = 50 m/s

So, the acceleration is 50 m/s^2

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.

If the truck has a mass of 2,000 kilograms , what's its momentum?(v=35 m/s)
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf  70,000 \ kg*m/s}}

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

p=m*v

The mass of the truck is 2,000 kilograms and the velocity is 35 meters per second.

m= 2000 \ kg \\v= 35 \ m/s

Substitute the values into the formula and multiply.

p= 2000 \ kg * 35 \ m/s \\p= 70,000 \ kg*m/s

The truck's momentum is <u>70,000 kilograms meters per second.</u>

Which of the following statements most accurately differentiates potential and kinetic energy? A. Any object that has no motion
Aleks [24]

Answer:

B. Any object that has motion has potential energy, wow any object not in motion light with the potential to do work and kinetic.

Explanation:

Potential Energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. Kinetic Energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
