Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²
At 7.5 m/s, the object's KE is (1/2) (7.5) (7.5)² = 210.9375 joules
At 11.5 m/s, the object's KE is (1/2) (7.5) (11.5)² = 495.9375 joules
The additional energy needed to speed the object up from 7.5 m/s
to 11.5 m/s is (495.9375 - 210.9375) = <em>285 joules</em>.
That energy has to come from somewhere. Without friction, that's exactly
the amount of work that must be done to the object in order to raise its
speed by that much.
Chemical to thermal to electrical current: Burning of coal or natural gases. Gravitational potential to kinetic to electrical current.
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;
R = U√2H/g
U is the speed = 300m/s
H is the maximum height = 78.4m
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Substitute into the fromula;
R = 300√2(78.4)/9.8
R = 300 √(16)
R = 300*4
R = 1200m
Hence the projectile travelled 1200m before hitting the ground
