Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.
Time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point= 0.214 s
initial velocity= Vi=2.1 m/s
Final velocity= Vf=0 as the velocity at the highest point is zero.
acceleration= g= -9.8 m/s²
using the kinematic equation Vf= Vi + at
0= 2.1 + (-9.8)t
t= -2.1/-9.8
t=0.214 s
Thus the time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point is 0.214 s
Answer:
450 joules ; 450 joules ; 45.9 m
Explanation:
Given that :
Initial Velocity, u = 30m/s
Mass, m = 1 kg
Kinetic Energy of ball (KE) = 0.5mu²
K. E = 0.5 * 1 * 30^2
K.E = 0.5 * 900
K.E = 450 Joules
B.) Potential Energy (P. E)
P. E = mgh
At the highest point, all kinetic energy has would have become potential energy, hence
K. E = P. E = 450 Joules
C) Height of the ball :
From ; P. E = mgh
Where ; g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s² ; h = height
450 = 1 * 9.8 * h
450 = 9.8h
h = 450 / 9.8
h = 45.918
h = 45.9 m
