given that acceleration due to gravity is a = -10 m/s^2

initial speed will be ZERO

and we need to find the displacement in t = 8 s

now we can use kinematics equation to find the displacement

\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

now plug in all values in it

\delta y = 0* 8 + \frac{1}{2}*(-10)*8^2

\delta y = -320 m

<em>so it will displace downwards by 320 m</em>

Four identical balls are thrown from the top of a cliff, each with the same speed. The
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

the speed and the kinetic energy of the first and fourth ball are equal, while the speed and kinetic energy of the second and third balls are equal

Explanation:

The kinetic energy, K.E. = (1/2) × m × v²

The velocity of the ball, v = u × sin(θ)

Where;

u = The initial velocity of the ball

θ = The reference angle

1) For the ball thrown straight up, we have;

θ = 90°

∴ v = u

The final velocity of the ball as it strikes the ground is v₂ = u² + 2gh

Where;

h = The height of the cliff

∴ K.E. = (1/2) × m × (u² + 2gh)²

2) For the second ball thrown 30° to the horizontal, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((u×sin30)² + 2·g·h)² = K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u)² + 2·g·h)²

3) For the third ball thrown at 30° below the horizontal, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((u×sin30)² + 2·g·h)² = K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u)² + 2·g·h)²

4)  For the fourth ball thrown straight down, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × (u² + 2gh)²

Therefore, as the ball strike the ground, the speed and the kinetic energy of the first and fourth ball are equal, while the speed and kinetic energy of the second and third balls are equal

What is the magnitude of the velocity when the elastic potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy? (Assume that U=0 at equi
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

General Equation of SHM is given by

x=A\cos \omega t

v=-A\omega \sin \omega t

where x=position of particle

A=maximum Amplitude

\omega =angular frequency

t=time

At any time Total Energy is the sum of kinetic Energy and Elastic potential Energy i.e. \frac{1}{2}kA^2

where k=spring constant

Potential Energy is given by U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

also it is given that Potential Energy(U) is equal to Kinetic Energy(K)

Total Energy=K+U

Total=2U=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2

\frac{1}{2}kA^2=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2

x=\pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

at x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

velocity is v=\frac{A\omega}{\sqrt{2}}

A batter hits a fly ball which leaves the bat 0.89 m above the ground at an angle of 62 ∘ with an initial speed of 29 m/s headin
KatRina [158]

consider the motion in Y-direction

v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Sin62 = 25.6 m/s

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel

Y = vertical displacement = - 0.89 m

using the equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

- 0.89 = (25.6) t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²

t = 5.3 sec


consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Cos62 = 13.6 m/s

a = acceleration = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 5.3 sec

X = horizontal displacement =?

using the equation

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

X = (13.6) (5.3) + (0.5) (0) t²

X = 72.1 m


d = distance traveled by the center fielder to catch the ball = 107 - x = 107 - 72.1 = 34.9 m

t = time taken = 5.3 sec

v = speed of center fielder

using the equation

v = d/t

v = 34.9/5.3

v = 6.6 m/s
