Answer:

The kinetic energy of tennis ball is higher than that of baseball.

Explanation:

mass of baseball $m_{b}$ = 0.14 kg

velocity of baseball $v_{b}$ = 41 m/s

mass of tennis ball $m_{t}$ = 0.058 kg

velocity of tennis ball $v_{t}$ = 67 m/s

To find: the kinetic energy of baseball $KE_{b}$ and tennis ball $KE_{t}$

We know that the kinetic energy is given by the equation,

KE = $\frac{mv^{2}}{2}$

the kinetic energy of baseball $KE_{b}$ = $\frac{m_{b}v_{b} ^{2}}{2}$

= $\frac{0.14 * 41^{2}}{2}$

= 117.67 J

the kinetic energy of tennis ball $KE_{t}$ = $\frac{m_{t}v_{t} ^{2}}{2}$

= $\frac{0.058 * 67^{2}}{2}$

= 130.181 J

Hence $KE_{t}$ > $KE_{b}$ , the kinetic energy of tennis ball is higher than that of baseball

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (θ=π/2). In this case, for what value of m1 would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero

F - Force

T = Tension

m = mass

a = acceleration

g = gravitational force

Let the given Normal on block 2 = N

and $N = m_2 g \cos \theta$

and the tension in the given string is said to be $T = m_2 g \sin \theta$

When the acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m_1}$

for the said block 1.

It will definite be zero only when Force is zero , F=0.

Here by Force, F

I refer net force on block 1.

Now we know

$F = m_1g-T.$

It is known that if the said

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ ,

then Tension $T= m_2g$ $[since \sin(\pi/2) = 1]$ ,

Now making $"F = m_1g - m_2g"$

So If we are to make Force equal to zero

$F=0 => m_1g = m_2g \ or \ m_1 = m_2$
