Nicholas Copernicus correctly assumed that the planets revolved around the sun but he incorrectly assumed that the planets followed a perfect circle orbit around the sun. It was later on discovered by Johannes Kepler that the planets moved around the sun following an elliptical orbit.

A rubber band slingshot is drawn back 0.15 m with a force of 28N and shoots 28 g stone the initial speed of the stone if the rub
maria [59]

Answer:

Initial speed of stone = 12.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Change in distance = 0.15 m

Force applied = 28 N

Find:

Initial speed of stone

Computation:

Using conservation of energy

(1/2)fs² = (1/2)(mv²)

fs² = (mv²)

(28)(0.15)² = (0.028)(v²)

v² = (28)(0.15)²/(0.028)

v = 12.25

Initial speed of stone = 12.25 m/s

Describe the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occur when you shoot a basketball at a basket
Aleks04 [339]
When you shoot a basketball at a basket, the energy from your hands is transferred into the basketball. When you hold the ball up in preparation to shoot, it has potential energy, meaning that it has stored energy that can turn into kinetic energy. When you shoot it, that potential energy turns into kinetic energy, causing the basketball to move.

The sun's properties (luminosity, size, and temperature) have not changed much over the last 4.6 billion years. what do you thin
Vikentia [17]

The answer is; The sun will turn into a red giant


This occurs as the hydrogen fuel in the fusion core of the sun begins to deplete. When the hydrogen fuel is depleted, the star begins to collapse on itself due to gravity. This pressure causes the heavier helium to begin fusing in the area around the core.  The stars begin to heat up again producing enough energy to push out the outer shells of the star. This causes the star to expand. The outer shells become less hot hence the decrease in luminosity of red giants.

A baseball is thrown at an angle of 25 degrees relative to the ground at a speed of 23 m/s. If the ball was caught 42 m from the
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

a) v_{0y} = 9.72 m/s

b) v_{0x} = 20.85 m/s

c) t = 2.01 s

d) h_{max} = 4.82 m

Explanation:

a) The initial vertical velocity is given by:

v_{0y} = v*sin(\theta)

Where:

θ: 25°

v: is the magnitude of the speed = 23 m/s

v_{0y} = 23 m/s*sin(25) = 9.72 m/s

b) The initial horizontal velocity can be calculated as follows:

v_{0x} = v*cos(\theta) = 23 m/s*cos(25) = 20.85 m/s

c) The flight time can be calculated using the following equation:

v_{0x} = \frac{x}{t}

Where:

x: is the total distance = 42 m

t = \frac{x}{v_{0x}} = \frac{42 m}{20.85 m/s} = 2.01 s

d) The maximum height is given by:

v_{fy}^{2} = v_{0y}^{2} - 2gh_{max}

Where:

v_{fy}: is the final vertical velocity =0 (at the maximum heigth)

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h_{max} = \frac{v_{0y}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(9.72 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 4.82 m

I hope it helps you!
