<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

EM waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields moving perpendicular with respect to each other. What kind of wave is
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves don't depend on the medium they travel through like a mechanical wave does, so they aren't mechanical. They don't oscillate (move back in forth) in the direction they travel either, ruling out compressional and longitudinal waves.

That leaves tranverse waves, the ones we're most used to, since they look very "wavelike," with smooth peaks and valleys. Electromagnic waves behave like these, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction they're traveling in.

A soccer ball with a mass of 0.45 kg is kicked and is moving at 8.9 m/s. Find the kinetic
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

17.82J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2

Given

Mass M = 0.45kg

Velocity v = 8.9m/s

Therefore,

K.E. = 1/2 x 0.45 x (8.9)^2

= 1/2 x 0.45 x (8.9 x 8.9)

= 1/2 x 0.45 x 79.21

Multiply through

= 35.6445/2

= 17.82J

The kinetic energy of the ball is 17.82J

PLEASE HELP!!!
anastassius [24]
Answer: 0 km/h

Explanation:
As a vector, the plane's velocity is 100 km/h (west) - 100 km/h (east)  = 0 km/m.
To an observer on the ground, the plane will be standing still.

A lady bug is sitting on the bottom of a can while you twirl it overhead on a string that is 65.0
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The linear speed of the ladybug is 4.1 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the angular speed of the lady bug. This is given by:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

where

T is the period of revolution

The period of revolution is the time taken by the ladybug to complete one revolution: in this case, since it does 1 revolution every second, the period is 1 second:

T = 1 s

Therefore, the angular speed is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{1 s}=6.28 rad/s

Now we can find the linear speed of the ladybug, which is given by

v=\omega r

where:

\omega=6.28 rad/s is the angular speed

r = 65.0 cm = 0.65 m is the distance of the ladybug from the axis of rotation

Substituting, we find

v=(6.28)(0.65)=4.1 m/s
