A ball is thrown straight up into the air with a velocity of 12 m/s. Draw a motion diagram for the ball and then give as much qu
antitative information as you can about the motion
1 answer:
Answer:
find the diagram in the attachment.
Explanation:
Let vi = 12 m/s be the intial velocy when the ball is thrown, Δy be the displacement of the ball to a point where it starts returning down, g = 9.8 m/s^2 be the balls acceleration due to gravity.
considering the motion when the ball thrown straight up, we know that the ball will come to a stop and return downwards, so:
(vf)^2 = (vi)^2 + 2×g×Δy
vf = 0 m/s, at the highest point in the upward motion, then:
0 = (vi)^2 + 2×g×Δy
-(vi)^2 = 2×g×Δy
Δy = [-(vi)^2]/2×g
Δy = [-(-12)^2]/(2×9.8)
Δy = - 7.35 m
then from the highest point in the straight up motion, the ball will go back down and attain the speed of 12 m/s at the same level as it was first thrown

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is , where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.
Explanation:
We will calculate the work done as follows.
W =
=
=
= 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69
= 7653.31 J
or, = 7.65 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.
