A ball, with a mass of 5.9kg, is thrown directly upwards. It reaches a maximum height of 10m from the point at which it was rele

ased.
Using the principle of energy conservation, and ignoring air resistance, calculate the ball's speed when it was released, in m/s.

Use a gravitational acceleration value of g = 9.8 m/s^2.

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

At the beginning, when the ball is thrown from the ground, it has only kinetic energy, which is given by

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

where m = 5.9 kg is the mass of the ball and v is its initial speed.

As the ball goes up, its speed decreases, so its kinetic energy decreases and converts into gravitational potential energy. When the ball reaches its maximum height, the speed has become zero, and all the kinetic energy has been converted into gravitational potential energy, given by:

U=mgh

where g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and h = 10 m is the maximum height reached by the ball.

Since we can ignore air resistance, energy must be conserved, so the initial kinetic energy must be equal to the final potential energy of the ball, so we can write:

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

And we can solve the equation to find v, the initial speed of the ball:

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(10 m)}=14 m/s

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located
const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

v = \lambda f

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

\lambda = 2.5 m

f = 10 Hz

now speed of the wave is given as

v = 10(2.5)

v = 25 m/s

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

t = \frac{L}{v}

t = \frac{5}{25}

t = 0.2 s
