When you throw a ball upward, its kinetic energy decreases and its potential energy increases. When the ball reaches maximum height, its kinetic energy is at a minimum.

Explanation:

- When the ball is thrown upward, its kinetic energy decreases. In fact, the kinetic energy of the ball is given by

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

where m is the mass of the ball and v its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the speed: since the speed of the ball decreases as the ball gets higher, its kinetic energy decreases as well.

- the potential energy increases. In fact, the potential energy of the ball is given by

U=mgh

where g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. We see that U is directly proportional to h, therefore as the ball gets higher, h increases and the potential energy increases as well.

- When the ball reaches maximum height, its kinetic energy is minimum. To be more precise, the kinetic energy becomes zero. In fact, at the point of maximum height the speed of the ball becomes zero (because the ball changes direction, it starts going downward), so v=0 in the formula of the kinetic energy and therefore the kinetic energy is zero.

When the ball goes upward, the velocity is decreasing. Therefore, the kinetic energy is decreased. The potential energy when the ball's height increases also increases. When the ball reaches maximum, the velocity becomes zero and the kinetic energy is minimum.

V = 8 * 10^2 km/h = 800km/h
S= 1,8* 10^3 km = 1800km
t = ?
v = S/t
t = S/v
t = 1800km/ 800km/h

Use this table of a school bus during morning pickups to calculate its average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h.
Gelneren [198K]

The average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h is 6.97 Km/h

Average speed is defined as the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken to cover the distance.

Average \: speed =  \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time}  \\  \\

With the above formula, we can obtain the average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h as illustrated below:

  • Total time = 2.340 – 0 = 2.340 h
  • Total distance = 16.3 – 0 = 16.3 Km
  • Average speed =?

Average \: speed =  \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time}  \\  \\Average \: speed =  \frac{16.3}{2.340}  \\  \\ Average \: speed = 6.97 \: Km/h \\  \\

A train starts at rest in a station and accelerates at a constant 0.987 m/s2 for 182 seconds. Then the train decelerates at a co
algol [13]

Answer:

\displaystyle X_T=66.6\ km

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

\displaystyle V_f=V_o+a\ t

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .

The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of 0.987 m/s^2 for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of -0.321 m/s^2 until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.

The equation for the distance is

\displaystyle X=V_o\ t+\frac{a\ t^2}{2}

Our data is

\displaystyle V_o=0,a=0.987m/s^2,\ t=182\ sec

Let's compute the first distance X1

\displaystyle X_1=0+\frac{0.987\times 182^2}{2}

\displaystyle X_1=16,346.7\ m

Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time

\displaystyle V_{f1}=0+0.987\times 182

\displaystyle V_{f1}=179.6\ m/s

That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0

\displaystyle V_o=179.6,a=-0.321\ m/s^2\ ,V_f=0

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}=\frac{0-179.6}{-0.321}

\displaystyle t=559.5\ sec

Computing the second distance

\displaystyle X_2=179.6\times559.5\ \frac{-0.321\times 559.5^2}{2}

\displaystyle X_2=50,243.2\ m

The total distance is

\displaystyle X_t=x_1+x_2=16,346.7+50,243.2

\displaystyle X_t=66,589.9\ m

\displaystyle \boxed{X_T=66.6\ km}
