Answer: 16J

Explanation:

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $v^{2}$

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ X 2 X 16

K.E = 16

The kinetic energy of the ball is 16 J.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Kinetic energy is the form of energy exhibited by a body when it is in motion. The kinetic energy will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as to the square of the speed of the body at which it is moving. So the mathematical representation of kinetic energy of any object is

$\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times(v)^{2}$

In the present case, the ball is the object with mass of around 2 kg and it is moving with the speed of about 4 m/s. So, the kinetic energy exhibited by the ball during its motion is

$\text {Kinetic energy of the ball}=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times(4)^{2}=16 \mathrm{J}$

So, the kinetic energy exhibited by the ball is 16 J.

What two gases probably dominated precambrian earth's atmosphere?

galben [10]

I think these gases are water vapor and nitrogen. As the temperature rises, these water vapor molecules, would condense and form the oceans we have. Also, it was said that in the early atmosphere, nitrogen is very abundant and even today the composition of air is 79% by volume.

3. What are the challenges of looking for Dyson spheres?

S_A_V [24]

1. it is difficult to search for it . Because infrared rays will never penetrate through earth atmosphere.

2. we are unaware of how it looks like and we only know it is red and will glow . A damaged star also looks like this.

3. Dust also makes is hard to detect Dyson spheres . So we will get confused between Dyson sphere and a star surrounded by dust.

(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, u = 0 and a = g

$h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s$

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 8.20 m/s. How much time elapses until the bowling pin return

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1.68 s

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion,

a = (v-u)/t.................................. Equation 1

Making t the subject of the equation

t =(v-u)g............................. Equation 2

Where t = time taken for the bowling pin to reach the maximum height, v = final velocity bowling pin, u = initial velocity of the bowling pin, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Taking upward to be negative and down ward to be positive,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 8.20 m/s, g = -9.8 m/s²

t = (0-8.20)/-9.8

t = -8.20/-9.8

t = 0.84 s.

But,

T = 2t

Where T = time taken for the bowling pin to return to the juggler's hand.

T = 2(0.84)

T = 1.68 s.

T = 1.68 s
