A ball falling through the air has what?

1 answer:

8 0

A ball falling through the air has a mass, a density, a volume...it is facing air resistance and is being acted on by gravity...it is accelerating and gaining velocity...and it is increasing in kinetic energy.
I suppose out of all those the biggest thing the ball has in this case is ENERGY. There are two main types to focus on...

Kinetic Energy - The further the ball fall the more KE it has...until terminal velocity is reach, then KE would become constant.
Potential Energy - Conversely to that of KE, the further the ball falls the less PE it will have.

<em>Heat/Thermal Energy is technically also present due to the friction from the air resistance, but the transfer of energy between the air and ball is quite complex and not necessary important for basic physics.
</em>
The question itself seem kind of vague and open ended, but I could just be viewing it the wrong way.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) Magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current

= μ₀I / 2r

I is current , r is radius of the wire , μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷

= 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 15 / (2 x 3.5 x 10⁻²)

= 26.9 x 10⁻⁵ T

2 )

Negative z direction .

The direction of magnetic field due to a circular coil having current is known

with the help of screw rule or right hand thumb rule.

3 )

If we decrease the radius the magnetic field will:__increase _____.

A. Increase.

Magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current

B = μ₀I / 2 r

Here r is radius of the coil . If radius decreases magnetic field increases.

So magnetic field will increase.

A ball is held at a height H above a floor. It is then released and falls to the floor. If air resistance can be ignored, which

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Straight line graph attached showing mechanical energy on x-axis and altitude y on y-axis

Explanation:

As mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy, the ball at a height H possesses potential energy= m.g.H

and Kinetic energy= 0.

But the sum of both energies is equal to m.g.H.

When the ball starts moving, the height starts to decrease and potential energy also decreases with decreasing y. On the other hand kinetic energy starts increasing with decreasing Y. But their sum remains constant i.e equal to mechanical energy. It remains same until the ball touches the ground. The graph attached shows height H or altitude y on x-axis and Mechanical Energy on y-axis. It shows a straight horizental line showing that mechanical energy remains same as y decreases.

suter [353]

Answer:

F= 5195.625 N

Explanation:

To obtain the force needed to hold the child, we need to know the aceleration in which the car is breaking.

Aceleration is equal to velocity divided by the time of breaking

In international system, velocity [m/s] is

v= (62 mi/h)*(1609 m/mi)*(1 h/3600 s)

v= 27.71 m/s

Now, we part the velocity by the time that is 0.08 seconds

a= v/t= (27.71 m/s)/(0.08 s)

a= 346.375 m/ $s^{2}$

The force in agreement with the Newton's second law is

F=m*a = 15 Kg*346.375 m/ $s^{2}$

F= 5195.625 N

(Note: 1 N = 1 Kg*m/ $s^{2}$ )

What is Archimedes' Principle?

faltersainse [42]

Archimedes' Principle is a law of physics related to the the ability of an object to float. This is a physical law related to the ability of an object to float that states that any object fully or partially submerged in water and at rest is acted upon in an upward direction, by a force whose magnitude is equal to the weight of the object. Since this force works in the opposite direction, the body/object neither sinks nor rises. If the sunk object displaces as much water as its weight, it does not sink but floats. The best example to explain this law is the ship in the ocean. When the ship enters the ocean, it begins to sink until it has displaced the same amount of ayer which is equal to its own weight, after which it starts to float.
