Answer:
Option D
490 J
Explanation:
When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then
PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J
At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J
Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence
981-490.5= 490.5 J
Approximately, 490 J
The potential energy that the ball has at the top of the tower is its kinetic energy when it hits the ground. The second ball has more potential energy at the top, because you did more work on it to carry it up there. So it has more KE at the bottom. (A)
Answer:
The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating
Explanation:
Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.
