Answer:

25 m

9.9 m/s

22 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of ball

v = Velocity

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Applying conservation of energy

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{10^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=5.09683\ m

The height above the ground is 5.09683+20 = 25.09683 m = 25 m

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 5}\\\Rightarrow v=9.9\ m/s

The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is 9.9 m/s

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 25}\\\Rightarrow v=22.14723\ m/s

The speed of impact on the ground is 22 m/s

Black_prince [1.1K]
The speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. Then the next step is to convert m/s into km/s.To determine the time, the distance must be divided with velocity. It will take the light signal 3.3*10^-6 seconds to reach his assistant.

A 3.0 kilogram object is thrown upward with an initial speed of 10 meters per second. what maximum height will the object reach?
tino4ka555 [31]
Time= v*sintheta/g = 10*1/9.8= 1.02s therefore h=1/2*9.8*(1.02)^2= 5.10m

If time is tripled and work remains the same the power will.​
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

power will three times decrease (one-third)

Explanation:

P = W / t

thus when work is constant, power is inversely proportional to time

so, when time is tripled, power is decreased to one-third
