Seems knows the mass of a basketball what other information is needed to find the balls potential energy

Physics
1 answer:
Tanya [424]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:acceleration due to gravity and height

Explanation:

potential energy=mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Since we know the mass already,we also need to know the acceleration due to gravity and the height the ball is above them ground

A ball is tossed with a velocity of 10 m/s directed vertically upward from a window located 20 m above the ground. Determine the
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of ball u=10\ m/s

height of window h=20\ m

Using Equation of motion

y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where u=initial velocity

t=time

a=acceleration

As ball is already is at a height of 20 m so

Y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2+20

Y=10\times t+0.5\times (-9.8)t^2+20

Y=-4.9t^2+10t+20

(b)highest point is obtained at v=0

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

(0)-10^2=2\times (-9.8)\times s

s=\frac{100}{19.6}

s=5.102\ m

Highest Point will be s+20=25.102\ m

(c)Time taken when the ball hit the ground i.e. at Y=0

-4.9t^2+10t+20=0

t=3.28\ s

impact velocity v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 25.102}

v=22.181\ m/s

The electric field 14.0 cm from the surface of a copper ball of radius 2.0 cm is directed toward the ball's center and has magni
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Q = - 256 X 10⁻⁷ C .

Explanation:

Electric field due to a charge Q at a distance d from the center is given by the expression

E = k Q /d² Where k is a constant and it is equal to 9 x 10⁹

Put the given value in the equation

9 x 10² = \frac{9\times10^9\times Q}{(14+2)^2\times10^{-4}}

Q = \frac{9\times16^2\times10^{-2}}{9\times10^9}

Q = - 256 X 10⁻⁷ C .

It will be negative in nature as the field is directed towards the center.

A kangaroo has a maximum gravitational potential energy during one jump of 770 J
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

k = 44000 N/m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Maximum gravitational potential energy = 770 J

Elastic potential energy = 14% of 770 J = 14/100 * 770 = 107.8 J

Extension, x = 42 - 35 = 7cm to meters = 7/100 = 0.07 m

To find the spring constant, k;

The elastic potential energy of an object is given by the formula;

E.P.E = \frac {1}{2}kx^{2}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

107.8 = \frac {1}{2}*k*0.07^{2}

107.8 = \frac {1}{2}*k*0.0049

Cross-multiplying, we have;

215.6 = k*0.0049

k = \frac {215.6}{0.0049}

k = 44000 N/m
