1 Which statement BEST describes how a golf club does "work" on a golf ball? (A) When the club hits the ball the club transfers

all of its kinetic energy to the ball. (B) All of the kinetic energy from the club is transferred to the ball as they both move through the air. (C) Some of the kinetic energy from the golf club is transferred to the ball and some transforms into sound and heat, but the total energy remains the same. (D) The golf club loses kinetic energy when it hits the ball and the ball gains kinetic energy from the air as it travels.

Answer:

(C) Some of the kinetic energy from the golf club is transferred to the ball and some transforms into sound and heat, but the total energy remains the same.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of a closed system is constant.

In this problem, the main type of energy involved is the kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion; mathematically, it is calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this problem, at the beginning, the golf club is moving, therefore it has kinetic energy.

Then, the club hits the ball, which is put in motion: therefore, the ball has acquired kinetic energy as well. This energy has been transferred from the golf club, which has therefore lost part of its energy.

At the same time, sound and heat are produced in the collision between the golf club and the ball. Since the total energy must be conserved, this means that the initial kinetic energy of the golf club must be equal to the sum of ball's kinetic energy + sound energy + heat energy released in the collision.

An airplanes lands with a velocity of +75 m/s and comes to a stop in 20 seconds. What is the acceleration of the airplane while
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car, a = -3.75 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,  

The initial velocity of the airplane, u = 75 m/s

The final velocity of the plane, v = 0 m/s

The time period of motion, t = 20 s

Using the I equations of motion

                    v = u + at

                     a = (v - u) / t

                        = (0 - 75) / 20

                        = -3.75 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that the plane is decelerating

Hence, the acceleration of the car, a = -3.75 m/s²

Look at the velocity versus time graph below. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the object after it travels for three
Elza [17]

Answer:

C. 12m

Explanation:

veocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}

from the graph v = 4m/s and t = 3 s

d = vt = 4 × 3 = 12 m

The spin cycle of a clothes washer extracts the water in clothing by greatly increasing the water's apparent weight so that it i
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The apparent weight of a 1.1 g drop of water is 4.24084 N.

<h3>What is Apparent Weight?</h3>
  • According to physics, an object's perceived weight is a characteristic that describes how heavy it is. When the force of gravity acting on an object is not counterbalanced by a force of equal but opposite normality, the apparent weight of the object will differ from the actual weight of the thing.
  • By definition, an object's weight is equal to the strength of the gravitational force pulling on it. It follows that even a "weightless" astronaut in low Earth orbit, with an apparent weight of zero, has almost the same weight that he would have if he were standing on the ground; this is because the gravitational pull of low Earth orbit and the ground are nearly equal.

Solution:

N = Speed of rotation = 1250 rpm

D = Diameter = 45 cm

r = Radius = 22.5 cm

M = Mass of drop = 1.1 g

Angular speed of the water = \omega  = \frac{2\pi N}{60}

\omega  = \frac{2\pi \times 1250}{60}

\omega  = 130.89 rad/s

Apparent weight is given by

W _a = M\omega^{2}R

W_a = 1.1 \times 10^-^3\times (130.89)^2\times 0.225

W_a = 4.24084 N

Question:

The spin cycle of a clothes washer extracts the water in clothing by greatly increasing the water's apparent weight so that it is efficiently squeezed through the clothes and out the holes in the drum. In a top loader's spin cycle, the 45-cm-diameter drum spins at 1250 rpm around a vertical axis. What is the apparent weight of a 1.1 g drop of water?
