f potential and kinetic energy the bowling ball has:
as sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall.
as it is half way through a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 19.8 meters per second.
as it is just about to hit the ground from a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 28 meters per second.

Answer:

1) At the highest point of the building.

2) The same amount of energy.

3) The kinetic energy is the greatest.

4) Potential energy = 784.8[J]

5) True

Explanation:

Question 1

The moment when it has more potential energy is when the ball is at the highest point in the building, that is when the ball is at a height of 40 meters from the ground. It is taken as a point of reference of potential energy, the level of the soil, at this point of reference the potential energy is zero.

E_{p} = m*g*h\\E_{p} = 2*9.81*40\\E_{p} = 784.8[J]

Question 2)

The potential energy as the ball falls becomes kinetic energy, in order to be able to check this question we can calculate both energies with the input data.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\ E_{p} = 2*9.81*20\\ E_{p} = 392.4[J]\\

And the kinetic energy will be:

E_{k}=0.5*m*v^{2}\\  where:\\v =  velocity = 19.8[m/s]\\E_{k}=0.5*2*(19.8)^{2}\\  E_{k}=392.04[J]

Therefore it is the ball has the same potential energy and kinetic energy as it is half way through its fall.

Question 3)

As the ball drops all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, therefore being close to the ground, the ball will have its maximum kinetic energy.

E_{k}=E_{p}=m*g*h = 2*9.81*40\\  E_{k} = 784.8[J]\\ E_{k} = 0.5*2*(28)^{2}\\ E_{k} = 784 [J]

Question 4)

It can be easily calculated using the following equation

E_{p} =m*g*h\\E_{p}=2*9.81*40\\E_{p} =784.8[J]

Question 5)

True

The potential energy at 20[m] is:

E_{p}=2*9.81*20\\ E_{p}= 392.4[J]\\The kinetic energy is:\\E_{k}=0.5*2*(19.8)^{2} \\E_{k}=392[J]

0. A 3.00-kg block is dropped from rest on a vertical spring whose spring constant is 750 N/m. The block hits the spring, compre
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

the spring compressed is 0.1878 m

Explanation:

Given data

mass = 3 kg

spring constant k = 750 N/m

vertical distance h = 0.45

to find out

How far is the spring compressed

solution

we will apply here law of mass of conservation

i.e

gravitational potential energy loss = gain of eastic potential energy of spring

so we say m×g×h = 1/2× k × e²

so e² = 2×m×g×h / k

so

we put all value here

e² = 2×m×g×h / k

e² = 2×3×9.81×0.45 / 750

e²  = 0.0353

e = 0.1878 m

so the spring compressed is 0.1878 m

A girl drops a stone from the top a tower 45m tall. At the same time, a boy standing at the base of the tower, projects another
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(i) The stones meet at 1.8 second

(ii) The point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.

Explanation:

(i)

First we consider the stone dropped by the girl. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 0 m/s   (Since the stone was initially at rest)

t = Time Period

g = 10 m/s²

s₁ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₁ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₁ = (0)(t) + (0.5)(10)t²

s₁ = 5t²   ----- equation (1)

Now, we consider the stone throne vertically upward by the boy. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 25 m/s

t = Time Period

g = - 10 m/s²   (negative sign due to upward motion)

s₂ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₂ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₂ = (25)(t) + (0.5)(-10)t²

s₂ = 25t - 5t²   ----- equation (2)

At, the point where both the stones meet, the sum of distances covered by both stones must be equal to the height of building (i.e 45 m).

s₁ + s₂ = 45

using values from equation (1) and equation (2)

5t² + 25t - 5t² = 45

25t = 45

t = 45/25

<u>t =  1.8 sec</u>

(ii)

using this value of of t in equation (2)

s₂ = (25)(1.8) - (5)(1.8)²

<u>s₂ = 28.8 m</u>

using this value of of t in equation (1)

s₁ = (5)(1.8)²

<u>s₁ = 16.2 m</u>

<u>Hence, the point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.</u>

What is the speed of sound in air at 40°C?<br><br> 355 m/s<br> 307 m/s<br> 331 m/s<br> 239 m/s
Vikki [24]
<span>This is not a good answer, because some one t o forgot to tell us the important temperature, and the given atmospheric pressure "at sea level" makes really no sense. In SI units with dry air at 20°C (68°F), the speed of sound c is 343 meters per second (m/s).</span>
