A ball is launched at 40m/s. find its speed at the half way up point.

1 answer:

6 0

Ek - kinetic energy
v2 - unknown speed
v1 - 40 m/s (initial speed)
Ek=1/2 mv^2
Ek in half way up is 1/2 Ek (with another V)
So, Ek in the beginning is Ek1= 1/2 mv1^2
and in half way Ek2=1/2 mv2^2
Ek1=2*Ek2
1/2 mv1^2 = 2* 1/2 mv2^2
1/2 v1^2 = v2^2
1/2 40^2 = v2^2
800 = v2^2
v2 = sqrt (800) = 28,3 m/s

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu_k = 0.724$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the lane is $l = 36.0 \ m$

The speed of the truck is $v = 22.6\ m/s$

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that

$\Delta KE = N * \mu_k * l$

Here N is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

$\Delta KE$ is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

=> $\Delta KE = 0.5 * m * 22.6^2$

=> $\Delta KE = 255.38m$

$255.38m = m * 9.8 * \mu_k * 36.0$

=> $255.38 = 352.8 * \mu_k$

=> $\mu_k = 0.724$

Write a hypothesis for Part II of the lab, which is about the relationship described by F = ma. In the lab, you will use a toy c

Temka [501]

Answer:

F=ma is the relationship where, F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Newton's second law states that the unbalanced force applied to the object accelerates the object which is directly proportional to the force and inversely to the mass.

If we apply force to a toy car then It will accelerate.

This is how Newton's second law of motion is verified.
