Answer:

45 J

Explanation:

Assuming the level at which the ball is thrown upwards is the ground level,

We can use the equations of motion to obtain the maximum height covered by the ball and then calculate the potential energy

u = initial velocity of the ball = 3 m/s

h = y = vertical distance covered by the ball = ?

v = final velocity of the ball at the maximum height = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

v² = u² + 2ay

0 = 3² + 2(-9.8)(y)

19.6y = 9

y = (9/19.6)

y = 0.459 m

The potential energy the ball will have at the top of its motion = mgh

mgh = (10)(9.8)(0.459) = 45 J

Hope this Helps!!!

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea

madreJ [45]

In order to answer this exercise you need to use the formulas

S = Vo*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

Vf = Vo + at

The data will be given as

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vo = initial velocity = 1.4 m/s

a = acceleration = 0.20 m/s^2

s = displacement = 100m

And now you do the following:

100 = 1.4t + (1/2)*0.2*t^2

t = 25.388s

and

Vf = 1.4 + 0.2(25.388)

Vf = 6.5 m/s

So the answer you are looking for is 6.5 m/s

Imagine a small child whose legs are half as long as her parent’s legs. If her parent can walk at maximum speed V, at what maxim

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

Explanation:

We know that speed is given by dividing distance by time or multiplying length and frequency. The speed of the father will be given by Lf where L is the length of the father’s leg ad f is the frequency.

We know that frequency of simple pendulum follows that $f=\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}$

Now, the speed of the father will be $V=Lf= L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})$ while for the child the speed will be $v=\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})$

The ratio of the father’s speed to the child’s speed will be

$\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})}{ L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})}\\\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\\\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

Which will increase the kinetic energy of an object more, increasing its mass or increasing its speed? Why?

agasfer [191]

Increasing its velocity will add to the kinetic energy more as the formula for kinetic energy is 0.5*m*v^2. (The speed will be squared making it greater)

What type of relationship exists between the length of a wire and the resistance, if all other factors remain the same? A. Resis

ZanzabumX [31]

<h3>Answer</h3>

(A) Resistance is directly related to length.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Formula for resistance

R = p(length) / A

where R = resistance

p = resistivity(material of wire)

A = cross sectional area

So it can be seen that resistance depends upon 3 factors that are length of wire , resistivity of wire and the cross sectional area of the wire.

If two of the factors, resistivity and cross sectional area, are kept constant then the resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire.

<h3> R ∝ length</h3>

This means that the resistance of the wire increases with the increase in length of the wire and decreases with the decrease of length of the wire.
