From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m. 

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

The gravitational potential energy of the ball changes by about

37000 J

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the formula of Gravitational Potential Energy as follows:

\large {\boxed {E_p = mgh }

<em>Ep = Gravitational Potential Energy ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>g = Gravitational Acceleration ( m )</em>

<em>h = Height ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of wrecking ball = m = 1400 kg

length of the cable = L = 20 m

angle with the vertical = θ = 30.0°

<u>Asked:</u>

gravitational potential energy = Ep = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

Ep = m g h

Ep = m g (L - L\cos \theta)

Ep = 1400 ( 9.8 ) ( 20 - 20 \cos 30^o )

Ep = 13720 ( 20 - 10\sqrt{3} )

Ep \approx 37000 \texttt{ J}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

The gravitational potential energy of the ball changes by about

37000 J

This illustration shows two opposing forces pulling on a wagon. Which description best describes how the wagon will move?
Talja [164]

Answer:

The wagon will move to the right.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Direction of the wagon =.?

To determine the direction in which the wagon will move, we shall determine the net force acting on the wagon. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 30 – 10

Fₙ = 20 N to the right

From the calculations made above, the net force acting on the wagon is 20 N to the right. Hence the wagon will move to the right.

The traffic on the freeway is moving at a constant speed of 24 m/sm/s. What distance does the traffic travel while the car is mo
ExtremeBDS [4]

Incomplete question as there is so much information is missing.The complete question is here

A car sits on an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. Then the driver accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 24 m/s (54 mi/h) when it reaches the end of the 120-m-long ramp. The traffic on the freeway is moving at a constant speed of 24 m/s. What distance does the traffic travel while the car is moving the length of the ramp?

Answer:

Distance traveled=240 m

Explanation:

Given data

Initial velocity of car v₀=0 m/s

Final velocity of car vf=24 m/s

Distance traveled by car S=120 m

To find

Distance does the traffic travel

Solution

To find the distance first we need to find time, for time first we need acceleration

So

(V_{f})^{2}=(V_{o})^{2}+2aS\\  So\\a=\frac{(V_{f})^{2}-(V_{o})^{2} }{2S}\\ a=\frac{(24m/s)^{2}-(0m/s)^{2} }{2(120)}\\a=2.4 m/s^{2}

As we find acceleration.Now we need to find time

So

V_{f}=V_{i}+at\\t=\frac{V_{f}-V_{i}}{a}\\t=\frac{(24m/s)-(0m/s)}{(2.4m/s^{2} )}\\t=10s

Now for distance

So

Distance=velocity*time\\Distance=(24m/s)*(10s)\\Distance=240m

A tennis ball, 0.314 kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164 m/s2 when hit by a professional tennis player. What force does the play
SVEN [57.7K]
Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                    Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                             = (0.314 kg) x (164 m/s²)

                             =    51.5 newtons

                         (about 11.6 pounds) .

Notice that the ball is only accelerating while it's in contact with the racket.
The instant the ball loses contact with the racket, it stops accelerating, and
sails off in a straight line at whatever speed it had when it left the strings.
