<h2>Kinetic energy just before hitting the floor is 324.57 J</h2>

Explanation:

Weight of volleyball player = 650 N

That is

            Mass x Acceleration due to gravity = 650

            Mass x 9.81 = 650

            Mass = 66.26 kg

We also have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s  

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

Final velocity, v = ?

Displacement, s = 0.5 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 0.5

v = 3.13 m/s

Velocity with which he lands on ground is 3.13 m/s

We have kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

Substituting

          Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 66.26 x 3.13²

           Kinetic energy = 324.57 J

Kinetic energy just before hitting the floor is 324.57 J

A train is moving in the positive direction down a track. First the train speeds up, and then it slows down. What is its acceler
tatuchka [14]
C.

The train first sped up, giving it a positive acceleration in the beginning. This eliminates D since that choice states that it begins with a negative acceleration. This also eliminates B since that choice states that the train only had a negation acceleration.

Next, the train slows down, giving it a negative acceleration. We’re looking for the answer choice that starts with a positive acceleration and ends with a negative one. This makes C the correct answer. Hope this helps!

lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

Explanation:

The intensity in terms of electric field is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\epsilon_o E^2

E is electric field

It means, U\propto E^2

In this problem, lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of laser 2.

Let E is electric field in the beam of laser 1 and E' is the electric field in the beam of laser 2. So,

\dfrac{U}{U'}=(\dfrac{E}{E'})^2

We have,

E'=2E

So,

\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{(2E)^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{4E^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\U'=4\times U

So, the intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

artcher [175]

Answer:

v = 10.75\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The system ball-pin is modelled by the Principle of Moment Conservation:

(9\,kg)\cdot (15\,\frac{m}{s} ) + (0.85\,kg)\cdot (0\frac{m}{s} ) = (9\,kg)\cdot v + (0.85\,kg)\cdot (45\,\frac{m}{s} )

The velocity of the bowling ball after the collision is:

v = 10.75\,\frac{m}{s}
