The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground.  It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.

It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.

More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.

When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.

The drawing shows a golf ball passing through a windmill at a miniature golf course. The windmill has 12 blades and rotates at a
tester [92]

Answer:

v<em>min</em> = 0.23 m/s

Explanation:

The golf ball must travel a distance equal to its diameter in the time between blade arrivals to avoid being hit. If there are 12 blades and 12 blade openings and they have the same width, then each blade or opening is 1/24 of a circle of is 2π/24 = 0.26 radians across.

Therefore, the time between the edge of one blade moving out of the way and the next blade moving in the way is

time = angular distance/angular velocity

⇒ t = 0.26 rad / 1.35 rad/s = 0.194 s

The golf ball must get completely through the blade path in this time, so must move a distance  equal to its diameter in 0.194 s, therefore the speed of the golf ball is

v =d/t

⇒ v = 0.045 m / 0.194 s = 0.23 m/s

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A = 2.36m/s

B = 3.71m/s²

C = 29.61m/s2

Explanation:

First, we convert the diameter of the ride from ft to m

10ft = 3m

Speed of the rider is the

v = circumference of the circle divided by time of rotation

v = [2π(D/2)]/T

v = [2π(3/2)]/4

v = 3π/4

v = 2.36m/s

Radial acceleration can also be found as a = v²/r

Where v = speed of the rider

r = radius of the ride

a = 2.36²/1.5

a = 3.71m/s²

If the time of revolution is halved, then radial acceleration is

A = 4π²R/T²

A = (4 * π² * 3)/2²

A = 118.44/4

A = 29.61m/s²

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<em>a) increases</em>

Explanation:

Almost all substance or material undergoes expansion due to heating. Heat gives thermal energy to the molecules of a substance increasing their body temperature. The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of that substance. When the temperature of a substance increases, the molecules begin to agitate and try to move far from each other, leading to either a linear, area, or cubic expansion, or all three of them. Metals like copper expand very well on heating, and their expansion is relatively minute, but very observable. When the face of such a copper is scratched to give and angle, heating the copper uniformly will cause the copper to expand, leading to an increase in the angle formed.
