A basketball is tossed up at an initial speed of 20 m/s.

Gravity slows the upward speed of any rising object by 9.8 m/s every second.

If the ball is tossed upward at 20 m/s, then it's at the top of its arc and its speed has dwindled to zero in (20/9.8) = 2.04 seconds.

During that time, its starting speed is 20 m/s and its ending speed is zero, so its AVERAGE speed all the way up is (1/2) (20 + 0)  =  10 m/s .

Sailing upward for 2.04 seconds at an average speed of 10 m/s, the ball rises to (2.04 x 10)  =  <em>20.4 meters.</em>

The angular velocity of a flywheel obeys the equa tion w(1) A Br2, where t is in seconds and A and B are con stants having numer
makkiz [27]

Answer:

A \to rad/s

B  \to rad/s^3

Explanation:

\omega_z(t)=A + Bt^2

Required

The units of A and B

From the question, we understand that:

\omega_z(t) \to rad/s

This implies that each of A and Bt^2 will have the same unit as \omega_z(t)

So, we have:

A \to rad/s

Bt^2 \to rad/s

The unit of t is (s); So, the expression becomes

B * s^2 \to rad/s

Divide both sides by s^2

B  \to \frac{rad/s}{s^2}

B  \to rad/s^3

If a roller coaster cart, with a mass of 100 kg, traveled this coaster, how much kinetic energy would it have at point 'E'?
zzz [600]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming no friction between the roller coaster car and the hill, and neglecting air resistance, the kinetic energy the roller coaster car would have at the bottom of the hill would be equal to its gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, by conservation of energy.
