For my answer to the question above, Let's assume that there is no friction.

The total energy E (kinetic + potential) of the tire is: 

<span>E = mv^2 / 2 + mgh </span>

<span>Since we're not given the tire's mass distribution or the hill's coefficient of friction or anything, assume we're to disregard rotational inertia, the energy dissipated as heat, etc. </span>

<span>Given that: </span>

<span>m = 10.0 kg </span>
<span>v0 = 2.0 m/s </span>
<span>h0 = 20.0 m </span>

<span>We're to find v when h = 5.0 m </span>

<span>Since the overall energy is conserved, </span>

<span>m(v0)^2 / 2 + mg(h0) = mv^2 / 2 + mgh </span>

<span>=> </span>

<span>v = sqrt((v0)^2 + 2g(h0 - h) </span>

<span>= sqrt( 4.0 m^2 / s^2 + (2)(9.8 m / s^2) (15.0 m) ) </span>

<span>= sqrt( 298 m^2 / s^2 ) </span>

<span>= 17.26 m/s</span>

mamaluj [8]
Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.

Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE

A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 42.5 m/s (about 95 mi/h). Before being caught, the baseba
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

4.5m/s

Explanation:

Linear speed (v) = 42.5m/s

Distance(x) = 16.5m

θ= 49.0 rad

radius (r) = 3.67 cm

= 0.0367m

The time taken to travel = t

Recall that speed = distance / time

Time = distance / speed

t = x/v

t = 16.5/42.5

t = 0.4 secs

tangential velocity is proportional to the radius and angular velocity ω

Vt = rω

Angular velocity (ω) = θ/t

ω = 49/0.4

ω = 122.5 rad/s

Vt = rω

Vt = 0.0367 * 122.5

Vt =4.5 m/s
