Answer:

A bowling ball stored on a high shelf has more potential energy

A base ball on the same shelf should rather fall on my head

Explanation:

Potential energy =mgh where m= mass, g= gravitational force and h is height

The bowling ball is bigger and heavier than the base ball

which means more mass . The remaining parameters are constant.

This means the bowling ball has more potential energy.

Since the base ball is lighter then it’s preferable to land on someone’s head due to the lesser force it will expert and lesser pain too.

Answer:

θ=19.877⁰

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity Va=34.0 km/h

Velocity Va=100 km/h

To find

Angle θ

Solution  

We want the bird to fly with velocity Vb=100 km/h with an angle θ relative to the ground so that the bird fly due south relative to the ground.From figure which is attached we got

Sinθ=(Va/Vb)

Sinθ=(34.0/100)

θ=Sin⁻¹(34.0/100)

θ=19.877⁰
