A tennis ball is hit into the air with a racket. When is the balls kinetic energy the greatest?

Physics

Answer:

Kinetic energy is maximum when the player hits the ball.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

So kinetic energy is proportional to square of velocity.

Velocity is maximum when the player hits the ball.

So kinetic energy is maximum when the player hits the ball.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

W = M g          weight of ball

T cos θ  = W         balancing vertical forces

T sin θ = F            balancing horizontal forces

tan θ = F / W        dividing equations

F = W tan θ          when θ equals zero F equals zero

An astronaut has a momentum of 280 kg and travels 10 m/s. what is the mass of the astronaut?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>28 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of an object given it's momentum and velocity / speed can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{p}{v}  \\

where

m is the mass

p is the momentum

v is the speed or velocity

From the question

p = 280 kg/ms

v = 10 m/s

The mass of the object is

m =  \frac{280}{10}  = 28 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>28 kg</h3>

What does this observation tell you about the relationship between the external force applied and the object’s acceleration (the
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

Newton’s second law of motion is closely related to Newton’s first law of motion. It mathematically states the cause and effect relationship between force and changes in motion. Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. Before we can write down Newton’s second law as a simple equation giving the exact relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we need to sharpen some ideas that have already been mentioned.

First, what do we mean by a change in motion? The answer is that a change in motion is equivalent to a change in velocity. A change in velocity means, by definition, that there is an acceleration. Newton’s first law says that a net external force causes a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration.

A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.10 m. (a) Calculate its ve
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

(a)   v = 5.42m/s

(b)   vo = 4.64m/s

(c)   a = 2874.28m/s^2

(d)   Δy = 5.11*10^-3m

Explanation:

(a) The velocity of the ball before it hits the floor is given by:

v=\sqrt{2gh}        (1)

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

h: height where the ball falls down = 1.50m

v=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(1.50m)}=5.42\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the ball is 5.42m/s

(b) To calculate the velocity of the ball, after it leaves the floor, you use the information of the maximum height reached by the ball after it leaves the floor.

You use the following formula:

h_{max}=\frac{v_o^2}{2g}       (2)

vo: velocity of the ball where it starts its motion upward

You solve for vo and replace the values of the parameters:

v_o=\sqrt{2gh_{max}}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(1.10m)}=4.64\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the ball is 4.64m/s

(c) The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{v_o-v}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=\frac{4.64m/s-(-5.42m)/s}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=2874.285\frac{m}{s^2}

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{v_o-v}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=\frac{4.64m/s-5.42m/s}{3.50*10^{-3}s}=-222.85\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration of the ball is 2874.28/s^2

(d) The compression of the ball is:

\Deta y=\frac{v^2}{2(a)}=\frac{(5.42m/s)^2}{2(2874.28m/s^2)}=5.11*10^{-3}m

THe compression of the ball when it strikes the floor is 5.11*10^-3m
