Dave throws a 10 kg bowling ball straight up in the air. At the very tippy-top of its path, what is it's momentum?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Zero

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=10\ kg

If the ball is thrown upward then at maximum point velocity of ball is zero because ball is no longer able to move upward

Momentum(P) of a particle is given by

P=mass\times velocity

P=10\times 0

P=0

Therefore at the highest point momentum is zero .

Communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth
zalisa [80]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Given:
R = 6.37 x 10⁶ m, the radius of the earth
h = 3.58 x 10⁷ m, the height of the satellite above the earth's surface.
Therefore
R + h = 4.217 x 10⁷ m

In geosynchronous orbit, the period of rotation is 1 day.
Therefore the period is
T = (24 h)*(60 min/h)*(60 s/min) = 86400 s

The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(86400 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Part (a)
The tangential speed is
v = (R+h)*ω
   = (4.217 x 10⁷ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s) 
   = 3066.7 m/s
   = 3.067 km/s

Part (b)
The centripetal acceleration is
a = v²/(R+h)
   = (3066.7 m/s)²/(4.217 x 10⁷ m)
   = 0.223 m/s²

Answers:
(a) The speed is 3.067 km/s
(b) The acceleration is 0.223 m/s²

What is the kinetic energy of an object moving 40m/s with a mass of 20kg?
Svet_ta [14]
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = 16,000 Joules
