KE=1/2mv^2 - equation for kinetic energy
KE=(1/2)(0.12 kg)((7.8 m/s)^2 - plug it into the formula
KE=(0.06 kg)(60.84 m/s) - multiply 1/2 to the mass and square the speed
KE= 3.7 J - answer
Hope this helps
In an uniform circular motion, the direction of the net force on the object is radially inward, passing through the center of the circle.
Answer:
Vertical distance= 3.3803ft
Explanation:
First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:
Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h
Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h
time= 0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s
With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:
Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m
Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft
This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.
The kinetic energy decreases
