A. when it reaches the top of its flight

potential energy increases as the height of the object does, and the highest point of a ball's flight is when it reaches the top.

Answer:

A.when it reaches the top of its flight

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth at which the object is located above the ground

Therefore, we see that the higher the object, the larger its potential energy: this means that the ball will have the greatest potential energy at the top of its trajectory.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  • tension: 19.3 N
  • acceleration: 3.36 m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  mass A = 2.0 kg

  mass B = 3.0 kg

  θ = 40°

<u>Find</u>

  The tension in the string

  The acceleration of the masses

<u>Solution</u>

Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...

  F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N

Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...

  F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N

The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:

  F/m = a = F/m

  (T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)

  T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N

__

Then the acceleration of B is ...

  a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2

The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.

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.

a child is swinging on swing, describe what happens to both the kinectic energy and potential enegry of the child as she swings
Igoryamba

Answer:

The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position and the P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.

Explanation:

  • A child is swinging on swing up and down has both kinetic and potential energy.
  • The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved throughout the system. At any instant the total mechanical energy is given by,

                                      E = K.E + P.E

  • The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position.
  • The P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.
  • And when K.E is maximum P.E becomes minimum and vice versa as per the law of conservation of energy.

What kind of waves can cause the most damage on the earth's surface?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Surface waves, in contrast to body waves can only move along the surface. They arrive after the main P and S waves and are confined to the outer layers of the Earth. They cause the most surface destruction. Earthquake surface waves are divided into two different categories: Love and Rayleigh.
