A ball is thrown into the air with 100 J of kinetic energy, which is transformed to gravitational potential energy

Answer:

Option A

Air resistance

Explanation:

Despite the law of conservation of energy stating that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed from one state to the other, the process of transformation is not 100% efficient since some energy losses occur due to friction and air resistance. Therefore, when the final energy is slightly less than the original dor this case, it's due to energy loss due to air resistance.

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0 m/s and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is

Valentin [98]

Answer:

<em>The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v and from a height h, it follows a curved path ruled by gravity.

The maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}$

If the maximum horizontal distance is known, we can solve the above equation for h:

$\displaystyle h=\frac {d^2g}{2v^2}$

The skier initiates the horizontal motion at v=25 m/s and lands at a distance d=70 m from the base of the ramp. The height is now calculated:

$\displaystyle h=\frac {70^2\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 25^2}$

$\displaystyle h=\frac {4900\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 625}$

h= 38.416 m

The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high

How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)

poizon [28]

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is $3\times 10^{8}m/sec$

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time $T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec$

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec
