Answer:

v = -14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial location of the ball, X₁ = 10 m

Final position of the ball, X₂ = -25 m

Time taken to travel is, t = 2.5 s

The average velocity of the ball is given by the formula,

V = X₂ - X₁ / t m/s

Substituting the values in the above equation,

V = -25 - 10 / 2.5

= -14 m/s

The negative sign in the velocity indicates that ball rolls in the opposite direction.

Hence, the average velocity of the ball is v = -14 m/s

An aircraft with a mass of 10,000 kg starts from rest at sea level and takes off, then flies to a cruising speed of 620 km/h and

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of aircraft = 10000 kg

Speed = 620 km/h = 172.22 m/s

Altitude = 10 km = 1000 m

We calculate the change in potential energy

$\Delta P.E=mg(h_{2}-h_{1})$

$\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times(10000-0)$

$\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times10000$

$\Delta P.E=980000000\ J$

$\Delta P.E=980\ MJ$

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in potential energy will be 1000 MJ.

We calculate the change in kinetic energy

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{2}^2-v_{1}^2)$

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2-0^2)$

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2)$

$\Delta K.E=148298642\ J$

$\Delta K.E=148.3\ MJ$

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in kinetic energy will be 150 MJ.

Hence, The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

What type of energy is formed when an object encounters friction?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

thermal energy

Friction does negative work and removes some of the energy the person expends and converts it to thermal energy. The net work equals the sum of the work done by each individual force. The forces acting on the package are gravity, the normal force, the force of friction, and the applied force.
