<span>0.52% First, let's convert that speed into m/s. 150 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 41.667 m/s Now let's see how much time gravity has to work on the ball. Divide the distance by the speed. 18 m / 41.667 m/s = 0.431996544 s Now multiply that time by the gravitational acceleration to see what the vertical component to the ball's speed that gravity adds. 0.431996544 s * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.233566131 m/s Use the pythagorean theorem to get the new velocity of the ball. sqrt(41.667^2 + 4.234^2) = 41.882 m/s Finally, let's see what the difference is (41.882 - 41.667)/41.667 = 0.005159959 = 0.5159959% Rounding to 2 figures, gives 0.52%</span>

A 1.0 kg ball falls from rest a distance of 19.6 m.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

192.08J

19.6m/s

Explanation:

Since there will be no potential energy when the ball is on the ground, the change in potential energy is equal to the potential energy at the start when the ball is 19.6m above the ground.

PE=mgh

=(1)(9.8)(19.6)

=192.08J

v²=u²+2as, where v is the final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is distance. Initial velocity is 0 since it starts at rest.

v²=u²+2as

v²=0²+2(9.8)(19.6)

v=√384.16

=19.6m/s

In January 2006, astronomers reported the discovery of a planet comparable in size to the earth orbiting another star and having
Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28  103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

              ρ = m / V

              V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

            V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

             4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

             R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

              M = 5.5 Me

              R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

             ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

             ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

               R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

               R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

               R = 0.528 10⁷ m

               R = 0.528 104 km

               R = 5.28  103 km

A regulation basketball has a 32 cm diameter
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.8 s

Explanation:

Potential energy = kinetic energy + rotational energy

mgh = ½ mv² + ½ Iω²

For a thin spherical shell, I = ⅔ mr².

mgh = ½ mv² + ½ (⅔ mr²) ω²

mgh = ½ mv² + ⅓ mr²ω²

For rolling without slipping, v = ωr.

mgh = ½ mv² + ⅓ mv²

mgh = ⅚ mv²

gh = ⅚ v²

v = √(1.2gh)

v = √(1.2 × 9.81 m/s² × 4.8 m sin 39.4°)

v = 5.47 m/s

The acceleration down the incline is constant, so given:

Δx = 4.8 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 5.47 m/s

Find: t

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

t = 2Δx / (v + v₀)

t = 2 (4.8 m) / (5.47 m/s + 0 m/s)

t = 1.76 s

Rounding to two significant figures, it takes 1.8 seconds.
