How much kinetic energy does a 7.2-kg dog need to make a vertical jump of 1.2 m? the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m / s^2

2 answers:

$E_k=mgh\\\\m=7.2\ kg\\\\g=9.8\ m/s^2\\\\h=1.2\ m\\\\E_k=7.2\cdot9.8\cdot1.2=84.672\ \left[\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}\right]=84.672\ [J]$

Assuming that no energy is wasted,
Use the equation Gpe=mgh
Mass*gravity*height
1.2*7.2*9.8=
84.672
(The answer might be wrong I did it in my head)

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force

Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

An Austin volleyball player bumps a 5 kg ball into the air. It reaches a height of 2.8 meters. How fast was the ball going as it

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

v = 7.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if a volleyball, m = 5 kg

The ball reaches a height of 2.8 m

We need to find how fast the ball is going as it bumped into the air. Ket the velocity is v. Using the conservation of energy to find it as follows :

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.8} \\\\=7.4\ m/s$

So, the required speed is 7.4 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (b).
