A 0.157 kg ball is thrown straight up from 2.33 m above the ground. Its initial vertical speed is 11.60 m/s. A short time later,

it hits the ground. Calculate the total work done by the force of gravity during that time.

Answer:

14.148 J

Explanation:

Work : This can be defined as the product of force and the distance moved along the direction of force. The S.I unit of work is Joules.(J).

From the question,

The Total work done by the field = Kinetic energy of the ball + Potential energy of the ball

Wt = 1/2mv²+mgh......................... Equation 1

Where Wt = Total work done by the ball, m = mass of the ball, v = velocity of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity of the ball, h = height of the ball.

Given: m = 0.157 kg, v = 11.60 m/s, h = 2.33 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Wt = 1/2(0.157)(11.6²) + (0.157)(2.33)(9.8)

Wt = 10.563+3.585

Wt = 14.148 J

What is the proper function of a linkage? *
Kryger [21]

Answer:

a) transferring energy

Explanation:

A linkage is an assembly of parts connected together to control forces and movement. The connections between links are called joints and are used for ensuring movement, pure rotation or sliding.

Linkages provides a means in which kinetic energy is being transferred in different directions within a system. This Linkages can be used to Change force  direction, size of force applied or the motion created by the force.

The speed of water at the tap of lower storey is more than that in the upper storey​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Pressure of liquid in container is given by, P= height × density × acceleration of gravity.

At the lower storey, the height of the liquid from the open end is great, since height is directly proportional to pressure, the pressure exerted by liquid is maximum hence increase in velocity of flow.

Unlike the upper storey where the height of water is less hence the pressure exerted by the liquid is minimum which decreases the velocity / speed of liquid flow

Why can't passenger planes fly very high?
nalin [4]
The higher in the atmosphere, the less oxygen, and the more cold temperatures.

The material/moisture on the plane would freeze and damage the engine.
