Given data:
* The height of the balcony is 52.8 m.
* The initial velocity of the coin is zero.
Solution:
By the kinematics equation, the time taken by the coin to land on the fountain is,
where H is the height, g is the acceleration due to gravity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time taken,
Substituting the known values,
We really can't tell from the given information.
We don't know HOW MUCH Marv enlarged his cannonballs,
or HOW MUCH faster Seymour's balls became.
If we assume that they both, let's say, DOUBLED something,
then Seymour accomplished more, and the destructive capability
of his balls has increased more.
I say that because the destructive capability of a cannonball is
pretty much just its kinetic energy when it arrives and hits the target.
Now, we all know the equation for kinetic energy.
K.E. = (1/2) (mass) (speed-SQUARED) .
We can see right away that if Marv started shooting balls with
double the mass but at the same speed, then they have double
the kinetic energy of the old ones.
But if Seymour started shooting the same balls with double the SPEED,
then they have (2-SQUARED) as much kinetic energy as they used to.
That's 4 times as much destructive capability as before.
So we can say that when it comes to cannons and their balls and
smashing things to bits and terrorizing your opponents, if making
a bigger mess is better, then more mass is better, but more speed
is better-squared.
The answer to the first question is that, the sumo wrestler loses energy equal to the absorbed energy of the trampoline plus the air friction drag loss. With the second question, the gymnast should maintain energy equal to the Potential energy gymnast has at the peak of bounce height by exerting little force to compensate for the energy spent on the internal friction of the trampolines action.
Answer:
Ptolemy proposed a model, he reference system is centered on the Earth
Copernicus, proposed a deferent system, this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system
Explanation:
Thousands of years ago, Ptolemy proposed a model to explain the movement of the planets and stars in the sky, in this model the reference system is centered on the Earth, so each body is orbiting in different spheres around the Earth as its center, this system had very complicated calculations and curves to be able to explain the orbits of the planets.
More recently Copernicus, proposed a deferent system, this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system, in this system the movement of the planets are ellipses, which is a much simpler explanation and has been widely accepted, in current systems the reference system is fixed in the bodies more massive, since this simplifies the explanation of the movements.
