A 1.80 kg snowball is fired from a cliff 9.10 m high. The snowball's initial velocity is 17.4 m/s, directed 44.0° above the hori

zontal. (a) How much work is done on the snowball by the gravitational force during its flight to the flat ground below the cliff? (b) What is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the snowball-Earth system during the flight? (c) If that gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the height of the cliff, what is its value when the snowball reaches the ground?

Answer:

a) The work done is 160.52 J

b) The change in the gravitational potential energy on the snowball is -160.52 J

c) The gravitational potential energy that is taken to be zero at the height of the cliff is -160.52 J

Explanation:

Given:

m = 1.8 kg

h = 9.1 m

vi = 17.4 m/s

θ = 44°

a) The work done on the snowball is:

W_{g} =Fdcos\theta =mghcos\theta

Here θ = 0 because they are in the same direction

W_{g} =1.8*9.8*9.1*cos0=160.52J

b) The change in the gravitational potential energy on the snowball is:

ΔU = -Wg = -160.52 J

c) The gravitational potential energy that is taken is:

U_{g} =-mgh=-1.8*9.8*9.1=-160.52J

What is diffraction?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Explanation:

Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.

Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.

Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.

An object at rest starts accelerating.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

<u>We are given: </u>

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

displacement (s) = 20 m

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

<u>Solving for 'a'</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(10)² - (0)² = 2(a)(20)

100 = 40a

a = 100 / 40

a = 2.5 m/s²

an electrically charged particle with mass m, velocity v, and charge q moves in a circle in magnetic field b. what is the formul
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

r=\frac {mv}{qb}

Explanation:

In this case,  since the charged particle moves in circular motion,  the centripetal force is equivalent to the magnetic force.

\frac {mv^{2}}{r}=qvb\\\frac {mv}{r}=qb\\r=\frac {mv}{qb}
