A ball starts at the top of a ten-story building, falls straight down, and hits the ground with a velocity bottom. How does that

velocity change if it falls down a ramp at an angle of 45 degrees? How does that velocity change if it falls down a ramp that goes down, around, over, left, right, upside-down, makes a loop, goes up, down, and finally reaches the ground?

Answer: velocity at bottom of the trajectory is always the same.

Explanation:

As the gravitational field is a conservative one, the work done by the gravitational force is independent of the trajectory, and only  depends on the height.

As the work is equal to the change in kinetic energy, for a given height, the final speed will always the same, as it must be satisfied the following equation:

ΔK = m . g. h

1/2 m v² = m .g .h⇒ v =√2.g.h

Which statements describe both male and female reproductive systems? Check all that apply. A:The reproductive system produces ho
Scilla [17]

Answer: A:The reproductive system produces hormones.

B:The reproductive system transports reproductive cells.

C:The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.

Explanation:

A:The reproductive system produces hormones. : The reproductive organs ovaries in females and testes in males produces hormones. The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone and testes produce testosterone.

B:The reproductive system transports reproductive cells. : The ovaries in females transfers an egg into the fallopian tube and testes in males secrete sperms at the time of copulation the fertilization of egg and sperm leads to the development of zygote the precursor of new life.

C:The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.: The ovaries undergo oogenesis and in testes spermatogenesis takes place to develop egg and sperms respectively.

On a very muddy football field, a 110kg linebacker tackles an 85kg halfback. Immediately before the collision, the linebacker is
Alchen [17]
<span>Using conservation of energy and momentum you can solve this question. M_l = mass of linebacker
M_ h = mass of halfback
V_l = velocity of linebacker
V_h = velocity of halfback

So for conservation of momentum,
rho = mv

M_l x V_li + M_h x V_hi = M_l x V_lf + M_h x V_hf

For conservation of energy (kinetic)
E_k = 1/2mv^2/ 1/2mV_li^2 + 1/2mV_{hi}^2 = 1/2mV_{lf}^2 + 1/2mV_{hf}^2

Where i and h stand for initial and final values.
We are already told the masses, \[M_l = 110kg\] \[M_h = 85kg\] and the final velocities \[V_{fi} = 8.5ms^{-1}\] and \[V_{ih} = 7.2ms^{-1} </span>
