A 0.50 kilogram ball is held at a height of 20 meters. What is the kinetic energy of the ball when it reaches halfway after bein

While the ball is held 20 meters above the floor,

                                   Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) x (height) =

                                                        (0.5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m) =  98 joules.

When it's dropped and reaches 1/2 of its initial height, it has half as much
potential energy.  The rest has turned into kinetic energy  =  <em>49 joules.

</em>
============================================================<em>

Want to know what else you can figure out ?  Watch this . . . 

                                                 <u> Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²</u>

                                                          49 joules = (1/2) x (0.5 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by (0.25 kg):       49 joules / 0.25 kg = speed²

Take the square root of each side:        7/0.5 = speed = <em><u>14 meters per second</u></em>

That's the speed of the ball after falling 10 meters ! 
How cool is that !

A wave moves in a rope with a certain wavelength. A second wave is made to move in the same rope with twice the wavelength of th
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The frequency of the second wave is half of the frequency of first one.

Explanation:

The wavelength of the second wave is double is the first wave.

As we know that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the velocity is same.

velocity = frequency x wavelength

So, the ratio of frequency of second wave to the first wave is

\frac{f_2}{f_1} =\frac{\lambda _1}{\lambda _2}\\\\\frac{f_2}{f_1} =\frac{\lambda _1}{2\lambda _1}\\\\\frac{f_2}{f_1} =\frac{1}{2}\\\\

The frequency of the second wave is half of the frequency of first one.

Most motorcycles could win a drag race against most cars. Use<br>Newton's 2nd law to explain this.​
shutvik [7]

Answer:

is has be deducted that acceleration of an object depends only on the the mass of the object. car has a greater mass that a motorcycle.

Explanation:

the newton second law states that when a net force act on an object,the object accelerates in the direction of the net force. the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely to the mass.

mathematically, F = ma    .......................... (eqn 1)

where, F = force, m=mass and  a = acceleration

F = m(ΔV/t)    .......................... (eqn 2)

acceleration =change in velocity divide time

t = time

v= velocity

Ft = mΔV

also a∝1/m

this same second can also mean the rate of change in momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force.

Drag race is a function of acceleration, therefore, a car weighs more than a motorcycle.

the reason while motorcycle moves more faster than a car is due to the weight of the motorcycle as compare to the car. if the same acceleration is applied, and there weigth are difference, this will affect the force (causing an increased resultant force for the car), whereas time used will be affected.

for example:

a motorcycle has a weight 0f 181kg

a car has a weight 0f 1590kg

from  a∝1/m

they both will moves at a different acceleration

the force will be different

Ft = mΔV
