Answer:
In space there is no air resistance. on earth there is
in space there is no opposite forces acting on stopping the ball, so if you throw it it will go on forever.
on earth there is air resistance and gravity, this will pull the ball towards the ground and slow it down.
Answer:
10kg
Explanation:
Let PE=potential energy
PE=196J
g(gravitational force)=9.8m/s^2
h(change in height)=2m
m=?
PE=m*g*(change in h)
196=m*9.8*2
m=10kg
We can approach this in another way.
We know that sin(∅) = height / hypotenuse.
Thus, for x, height is 1 and hypotenuse is 3. Using Pythagoras theorem,
3² = 1² + b²
b = √8
cos(x) = b/hypotenuse
cos(x) = √8 / 3
Now, lets consider y:
sec(y) = 1 / cos(y) = 1 / base / hypotenuse = hypotenuse / base
The hypotenuse is 25 and the base is 24. We again apply Pythagoras theorem to find the third side, which works out to be:
height = 7
sin(y) = height / hypotenuse
sin(y) = 7/25
Now, sin(x + y) =
sin(x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(x)
= (1/3)(24/25) + (√8 / 3)(7/25)
= 8/25 + 7√8/75
= (24 + 14√2) / 75
