What is the kinetic energy of a 144 gram baseball moving at a velocity of 38.7 meters per second?

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the baseball is  107.83 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the baseball, m = 144 g = 0.144 kg

velocity of the baseball, v = 38.7 m/s

The kinetic energy of the baseball is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is mass of the object

v is speed of the object

K.E = ¹/₂(0.144)(38.7)²

K.E = 107.83 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the baseball is  107.83 J

A 100g block is initially compressing a spring 5.0 cm. The spring launches the block 50cm horizontally along the ground with a f
Setler [38]

Answer:

7200 N/m

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion

100g = 0.1 kg

5 cm = 0.05 m

50 cm = 0.5 m

As the block is released from the spring and travelling to height h = 1.5m off the ground, the elastics energy is converted to work of friction force and the potential energy at 1.5 m off the ground

The work by friction force is the product of the force F = 15N itself and the distance s = 0.5 m

W_f = F_fs = 15*0.5 = 7.5 J

Let g = 10 m/s2. The change in potential energy can be calculated as the following:

E_p = mgh = 0.1*10*1.5 = 1.5 J

Therefore, as elastic energy is converted to potential energy and work of friction:

E_e = W_f + E_p

kx^2/2 = 7.5 + 1.5 = 9 J

k = 9*2/x^2 = 18/0.05^2 = 7200 N/m

Gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, and gravity on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.
antiseptic1488 [7]
W = mg

Weight on Earth = 50 x 9.8
                          = 490 N

Weight on Mars = 50 x 3.7
                          = 185 N

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.
