Answer:

B.

It will be greater than 10 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E = PE + KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, when there are no frictional forces on an object, its mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy PE is the energy due to the position of the object: the highest the object above the ground, the highest its PE.

The kinetic energy KE is the energy due to the motion of the object: the highest its speed, the largest its KE.

Here at the beginning, when it is at the top of the roof, the baseball has:

PE = 120 J

KE = 10 J

So the total energy is

E = 120 + 10 = 130 J

As the ball falls down, its potential energy decreases, since its height decreases; as a result, since the total energy must remain constant, its kinetic energy increases (as its speed increases).

Therefore, when the ball reaches the ground, its kinetic energy must be greater than 10 J.

Leona [35]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of one ball u₁= 2.2i m/s

Velocity of second ball u₂=- 0.80i m/s

Final velocity of the second ball v₂= 1.36j m/s

The mass of the identical balls are

m = m_{1}=m_{2}

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the first ball after the collision

Using law of conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

Along X- axis

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}

v_{1}=u_{1}+u_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}=2.2i-0.80i

v_{1}=1.4i\ m/s

Along Y-axis

0=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

m_{1}v_{1}=-m_{2}v_{2}

v_{1}=-v_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}=-1.36j\ m/s

Then the final speed of the first ball

v_{1}=\sqrt{(1.4)^2+(1.36)^2}

v_{1}=1.95\ m/s

(b) We need to calculate the direction of the first ball after the collision

Using formula of direction

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}

\tan\theta=\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}

\theta=-44.16^{\circ}

Negative sign shows the direction of first ball .

Hence, (a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

A 25 kg child stands 2.5 m from the center of a frictionless merry‐go‐round, which has a 200 kg*m^2 moment of inertia and is spi
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Time period  T = 2 s

Angular velocity ω = 2π / T

=  2π / 2 = 3.14 rad /s

Initial moment of inertia I₁ = 200 + mr²

= 200 + 25 x 2.5²

=356.25

Final moment of inertia

I₂ = 200 + 25 X 1.5 X 1.5

= 256.25

b ) We apply law of conservation of momentum

I₁ X ω₁ =  I₂ X ω₂

ω₂ = I₁ X ω₁ / I₂

Putting the values

w_2=\frac{356.25\times3.14}{256.25}

ω₂ = 4.365 rad s⁻¹

c ) Increase in rotational kinetic energy

=1/2 I₂ X ω₂² -  1/2 I₁ X ω₁²

.5 X 256.25 X 4.365² - .5 X 356.25 X 3.14²

= 684.95 J

This energy comes from work done against the centripetal pseudo -force.
