Answer:
Explanation:
Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J
Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J
But ,
4 * 1875000 = 7500000
so the KE has increased by 4 times.
H = 280 ft, the height of the flower pot.
g = 32 ft/s²
Neglect air resistance.
Note that 1 ft/s = 15/22 mi/h
The initial vertical velocity is zero.
Let v = the velocity with which the flower pot hits the ground.
Then
v² = 2gh
= 2*(32 ft/s²)*(280 ft)
= 17920 (ft/s)²
v = 133.866 ft/s
Also,
v = (133.866 ft/s)*(15/22 (mi/h)/(ft/s)) = 91.272 mi/h
Answer: 133.9 ft/s or 91.3 mi/h
Friction between the ball and the floor is stealing some of the kinetic energy of the ball, and turning it into heat.
Electric pumps are not useful they clog
