mamaluj [8]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s

Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3. Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where
$v=r \omega$
giving
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2$

The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
$I_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
$E_{rot}= \frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2= \frac{1}{4}mr^2 \omega ^2$
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
$\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2(1+ \frac{1}{2})$
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part. Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.

A ball is thrown at an angle of 38° to the horizontal. What happens to the

finlep [7]

Answer:

Vy = V0 sin 38 where Vy is the initial vertical velocity

The ball will accelerate downwards (until it lands)

Note the signs involved if Vy is positive then g must be negative

The acceleration is constant until the ball lands

t (upwards) = (0 - Vy) / -g = Vy / g final velocity = 0

t(downwards = (-Vy - 0) / -g = Vy / g final velocity = -Vy

time upwards = time downwards (conservation laws)
