Answer:

a. 9.8 m/s2.

Explanation:

The acceleration depends on the force of gravity. It's independent of the velocity of the ball.

A small metal ball with a mass of m = 62.0 g is attached to a string of length l = 1.85 m. It is held at an angle of θ = 48.5° w
notka56 [123]

The distance x will the ball land after flies off with a horizontal initial velocity  is 3.0635 m.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.

M.E = KE +PE

A small metal ball with a mass of m = 62.0 g is attached to a string of length l = 1.85 m. It is held at an angle of θ = 48.5° with respect to the vertical.

The ball is then released. When the rope is vertical, the ball collides head-on and perfectly elastically with an identical ball originally at rest. This second ball flies off with a horizontal initial velocity from a height of h = 3.76 m, and then later it hits the ground.

The conservation of energy principle states that total mechanical energy remains conserved in all situations where there is no external force acting on the system.

Kinetic energy  = Potential energy

1/2 mv² =mgh₁

The velocity at the bottom, when the height h = 5m, is

v= √2gh₁...................(1)

The vertical height h₁ = l- lcosθ

h₁ = l- lcosθ

h₁ = 1.85 - 1.85cos48.5°

h₁ =0.6241 m

Putting the values in equation (1), we get

v = √2x 9.81 x0.6241

v = 3.499 m/s

The horizontal distance traveled is

x = vt

x = v x √2h/g

Plug the values, we get

x =  3.499 x √2x3.76 / 9.81

x = 3.0635 m

Thus, the horizontal distance ball travels is  3.0635 m.

A 3.1-kilogram gun initially at rest is free to
34kurt
The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?
AfilCa [17]
Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.
