Answer:

When the ball is held motionless above the floor, the ball possesses only GPE  energy.If the ball is dropped, its GPE energy decreases as it falls.If the ball is dropped, its KE energy increases as it falls.

Explanation:

If the ball is held motionless, then its kinetic energy is equal to zero, since kinetic energy depends on the velocity. And the ball is held above the ground, which means it possesses gravitational potential energy.

If the ball is dropped, its height will decrease, therefore its gravitational potential energy will decrease. Along the way, the ball will be in free fall, and therefore its velocity will increase, hence its kinetic energy.

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\U = mgh

A proton in a cyclotron is moving with a speed of 2.97×107 m/s in a circle of radius 0.568 m. 1.67 × 10−27 kg is the mass of the
vivado [14]

Answer:

B = 0.546 T,  F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

The magnetic force is

            F = q v x B

We can calculate the magnitude of the force and find the direction by the right hand rule

          F = q v B sin θ

Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

Acceleration is centripetal

         a = v² / r

We substitute

       q v B sin θ = m v² / r

The angle between the field and the radius of the circle is 90º so sin 90 = 1

        q B = m v / r

        B = m v / q r

Let's calculate ’

       B = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 2.97 10⁷ / (1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 0.568)

        B = 0.546 T

The foce is

         F = q v B

         F = 1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 2.97 10⁷ 0.546

         F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N

An excited 92 kg football player celebrates a touchdown by carelessly running straight into the goalpost at 9.4 m/s. He bounces
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

i. 15.6 m/s

ii. I = 1.44 KNs

Explanation:

The impulse, I, on a body is the product of force applied on it and the time it acts.

i.e I = F x t

Impulse is sometimes expressed as the change in momentum of a body. It is measured in Ns.

i. mass, m, of the player = 92 kg

initial velocity of the player, u = 9.4 m/s

final velocity of the player, v = 6.2 m/s

Since he bounces back on hitting the pole, then the sign of initial and final velocities are of opposite sign.

So that,

change in velocity of the player = final velocity - initial velocity

                                          = 6.2 - (-9.4)

                                         = 6.2 + 9.4

                                         = 15.6 m/s

change in velocity of the player is 15.6 m/s

ii. Impulse, I = m(v - u)

                    = 92 x 15.6

                    = 1435.2

Impulse on the player is 1.44 KNs.

A stone is thrown in the upwards direction at the velocity of 4 m/s. It attains a certain height and then it falls back. During
Sati [7]

Answer: 0.8 m

Explanation:

Velocity of throw = 4m/s

Maximum Height attained(h) =?

Downward acceleration experienced = 10m/s^2

Using the relation:

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

v = final Velocity = 0 (at maximum height)

u = Initial Velocity = 4

a = g downward acceleration = - 10

0 = 4^2 + 2(-10)(S)

0 = 16 - 20S

20S = 16

S = 16 / 20

S = 0.8m

Maximum Height attained = 0.8m

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic moment of the coil  M = current x area of loop

= I x L x L

M = L² I .

Magnetic field = B

Torque = M x B

= MB sinθ where θ is angle between M and B . Direction of M is perpendicular to face of loop

Torque  = MB sin90

= MB

=  L² I B .
