Answer:

<h3>40.0 Joules. None of the answers is correct</h3>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of an object is expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv² where;

m is the mass of the object

V is the velocity of the object.

Let Ma be the mass of the basketball and Mb be the mass of baseball.

If the mass of the basketball shown below is 4 times the mass of the baseball, then Ma = 4Mb

KE of the basket ball = 1/2MaVa²

Va² = 2(KE)a/Ma ...... 1

KE of the baseball = 1/2MbVb²

Vb² = 2(KE)b/Mb .......... 2

Since their velocities are the same, hence Va²= Vb²

2(KE)a/Ma = 2(KE)b/Mb

Substituting Ma = 4Mb into the resulting expression.

2(KE)a/4Mb = 2(KE)b/Mb

2(KE)a/4 = 2(KE)b

Given Kinetic energy of baseball (KE)b = 10.0J, the expression becomes;

2(KE)a/4 = 2(10)

2(KE)a = 4*20

2(KE)a = 80

(KE)a = 80/2

(KE)a = 40.0J

Hence the kinetic energy of the basketball is 40.0Joules

Answer:

we learned that an object that is vibrating is acted upon by a restoring force. The restoring force causes the vibrating object to slow down as it moves away from the equilibrium position and to speed up as it approaches the equilibrium position. It is this restoring force that is responsible for the vibration. So what forces act upon a pendulum bob? And what is the restoring force for a pendulum? There are two dominant forces acting upon a pendulum bob at all times during the course of its motion. There is the force of gravity that acts downward upon the bob. It results from the Earth's mass attracting the mass of the bob. And there is a tension force acting upward and towards the pivot point of the pendulum. The tension force results from the string pulling upon the bob of the pendulum. In our discussion, we will ignore the influence of air resistance - a third force that always opposes the motion of the bob as it swings to and fro. The air resistance force is relatively weak compared to the two dominant forces.

The gravity force is highly predictable; it is always in the same direction (down) and always of the same magnitude - mass*9.8 N/kg. The tension force is considerably less predictable. Both its direction and its magnitude change as the bob swings to and fro. The direction of the tension force is always towards the pivot point. So as the bob swings to the left of its equilibrium position, the tension force is at an angle - directed upwards and to the right. And as the bob swings to the right of its equilibrium position, the tension is directed upwards and to the left. The diagram below depicts the direction of these two forces at five different positions over the course of the pendulum's path.

How is volume and temperature related?

ololo11 [35]

Charles' Law: The Temperature-Volume Law. This law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. As the volume goes up, the temperature also goes up, and vice-versa.

tigry1 [53]

Glucose is a simple sugar.

Its chemical formula is C₆ H₁₂ O₆ .

That tells you that every glucose molecule is made of 6 atoms of carbon,
12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen.
