What happens to the kinetic energy of a snowball as it rolls across the lawn and gains mass.

The kinetic energy of an object is
\frac{1}{2} mv^2
where m is the mass of the object
and v is the velocity.

If you roll a snowball downhill, gravity accelerates the object and v increases. This causes the kinetic energy of the object to increase as well.

If you roll a snowball on level ground or uphill, friction will cause the velocity to decrease. Thus kinetic energy will decrease as well.

If the ground is level, then the snowball can never have
any more kinetic energy than it hand when it left your hand.

If more mass sticks to it as it makes its way across the lawn,
then it must slow down, so that its

                 KE = (1/2) (present mass) (present speed)²

never exceeds the KE you gave it when you tossed it.

And we're not even talking yet about all the energy it loses
by scraping through the snow and mashing down the blades
of grass in its path.

Problema 1. Un Clavadista se lanza desde un trampolín a diferentes alturas 10 m, 3 m, y 1 m, Calcular:
Salsk061 [2.6K]

La velocidad del buzo es de 7.04 m/s, 8.84 m/s y 2.27 m/s respectivamente.

<h3 /><h3>Velocidad </h3>

La velocidad es la relación entre la distancia total recorrida y el tiempo total empleado. Está dado por:

Velocidad = distancia/tiempo

Para 10m de altura:

  • Velocidad = 10 m/1.42 s = 7.04 m/s

Para 3m de altura:

  • Velocidad = 3 m/0.78 s = 3.84 m/s

Para 1m de altura:

  • Velocidad = 1 m/0.44 s = 2.27 m/s

La velocidad del buzo es de 7.04 m/s, 8.84 m/s y 2.27 m/s respectivamente.

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s
