Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is more than 30 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Gains kinetic energy = 30 J

We need to calculate the gravitational potential energy

According to law of conservation of energy

If there is no air resistance then the potential energy of the ball fully converted into kinetic energy.

If the air resistance is considered then the potential energy used to do work against air resistance.

$\Delta U\geq \Delta K.E$

According to question,

A ball drops some distance and gains 30 J of kinetic energy and considers air resistance then 30 J of potential energy can be loosed by the ball.

Hence, The gravitational potential energy of the ball is more than 30 J.

Objects fall near the surface of the earth with a constant downward acceleration of 10 m/s2 . Suppose a falling object is moving

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 30 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

constant downward acceleration, a = 10 m/s²

initial velocity of the object falling down, v = 10 m/s

time of fall, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the object is given by;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity

v = 10 + (10)(2)

v = 10 + 20

v = 30 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 30 m/s

Joe is measuring the time it takes for a ball to roll down a ramp. In this experiment Joe takes the measurement 5 times and gets

PolarNik [594]

Step by step solution :

standard deviation is given by :

$\sigma = \sqrt\dfrac{{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2}}{n}$

where, $\sigma$ is standard deviation

$\bar{x}$ is mean of given data

n is number of observations

From the above data, $\bar{x}=24.88$

Now, if $x=24.8$ , then $(x-\bar{x})^2=0.0064$

If $x=23.9$ , then $(x-\bar{x})^2=0.9604$

if $x=26.1$ , then $(x-\bar{x})^2=1.4884$

If $x=25.1$ , then $(x-\bar{x})^2=0.0484$

If $x=24.5$ , then $(x-\bar{x})^2=0.1444$

so, $\sum (x-\bar{x})^2 =\frac{0.0064+0.9604+1.4884+0.0484+0.1444}{5}$

$\sum (x-\bar{x})^2 =2.648$

$\sqrt{\sum \frac{(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}$

$\sigma =0.7277$

No, Joe's value does not agree with the accepted value of 25.9 seconds. This shows a lots of errors.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.7 m tall window in 0.129 sec. From how high above th

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

h = 22.35 m

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of the rock,u = 0 m/s

length of the window,l = 2.7 m

time taken to cross the window,t = 0.129 s

Speed of the rock when it crosses the window

$v = \dfrac{l}{t}$

$v = \dfrac{2.7}{0.129}$

v = 20.93 m/s

height of the building above the window

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 g h

20.93² = 0² + 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 22.35 m

Hence, the height of the building above the top of window is equal to h = 22.35 m
