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>
</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 !

If a 60-watt bulb is used to light a room, how much current is flowing through the bulb given that the voltage is 120 volts?
Pavel [41]
 Well, if I understand correctly, I think it'd be 60, because 60+60= 120, but I may be wrong. It's not my best subject, but why not try to help even though I suck lol.

Question 23
bonufazy [111]

If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

с  Stay the same

Explanation:

  • The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
  • Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
  • Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
  • The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are  force and mass.
  • Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.

When this pendulum swings, at which point is its kinetic energy the<br> highest? *
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The bottom/center of the pendulum

Explanation:

As it swings, the pendulum will have maximum potential energy at the top of its arc.

As it comes back towards the center that potential energy will convert into kinetic energy until it reaches the middle of its swing (when the pendulum is fully vertical) where all potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

This is when the kinetic energy is the highest

As it begins to move away from the center of its arc, that kinetic energy will convert into potential energy again, and the process repeats

What is the angular displacement of the second hand on a clock after 59 seconds?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a. -6.17 rad

Explanation:

60 seconds is 2π radians.  Writing a proportion:

2π / 60 = x / 59

x = 6.17

The displacement is negative because the second hand moves clockwise.
