What happens to the ball's velocity while the ball is traveling upwards?

1 answer:

7 0

If the ball does not have a propeller or jet engine on it, then it is an object
in free fall. That means its downward speed grows by 9.8 m/s for every
second that it's in the air.

If it happens to be traveling upward at the moment, then that won't last long.
Its upward speed is decreasing by 9.8 m/s every second. It will eventually
run out of upward gas and start moving downward. At that instant, you might
say that the direction of its velocity has changed by 180 degrees.

The change in gravitational potential energy due to change in position must be the change in it's kinetic energy as the system is isolated! so find out the potential energies of the two different points!

The angle between the two force of magnitude 20N and 15N is 60 degrees (20N force being horizontal) determine the resultant in m

BARSIC [14]

A) The resultant force is 30.4 N at $25.3^{\circ}$

B) The resultant force is 18.7 N at $43.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

In order to find the resultant of the two forces, we must resolve each force along the x- and y- direction, and then add the components along each direction to find the components of the resultant.

The two forces are:

$F_1 = 20 N$ at $0^{\circ}$ above x-axis

$F_2 = 15 N$ at $60^{\circ}$ above y-axis

Resolving each force:

$F_{1x}=F_1 cos \theta = (20)(cos 0)=20 N\\F_{1y}=F_1 sin \theta =(20)(sin 0)=0 N$

$F_{2x}=F_2 cos \theta = (15)(cos 60)=7.5 N\\F_{2y}=F_2 sin \theta =(15)(sin 60)=13.0 N$

So, the components of the resultant are:

$F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}=20+7.5 = 27.5 N\\F_y = F_{1y}+F_{2y}=0+13.0=13.0 N$

And the magnitude of the resultant is:

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{27.5^2+13.0^2}=30.4 N$

And the direction is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{13.0}{27.5})=25.3^{\circ}$

In this case, the 15 N is applied in the opposite direction to the 20 N force. Therefore we need to re-calculate its components, keeping in mind that the angle of the 15 N force this time is

$\theta=180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$
