Answer:

968 J

Explanation:

The computation of the kinetic energy is shown below:

Given that

mass m = 2 kg

height h = 20 m

velocity v = 24 m / s

Now

According to the law of conservation of energy ,

= K.E at top + P.E at top

= ( 1 ÷ 2) mv ^ 2 + mgh

= 576 + 392

= 968 J

Give an example of a compound machine. Explain how at least two simple machines are part of this complex machine.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Bicycle

Explanation:

A compound machine is a machine which is a combination of simple machines.

Simple machines are like the pulley, inclined plane or a screw.

Suppose a bicycle is considered, it has more than one simple machine combined together, for it to work. Wheel and axle is one of them and the beam which is pivoted at a fixed hinge is another simple machine in it.

The pedals of the bicycle function as the lever.

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is a=2,800m/s^{2}

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, v_{i}=-30m/s, final speed has a positive direction, v_{f}=26m/s, \Delta t=20ms=0.020s and mass m_{b}.

<u>Initial momentum</u>

p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s

<u>final momentum</u>

p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Impulse</u>

I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Average Force</u>

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}

<u>Average acceleration</u>

F=ma, so a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}.

Therefore, a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}

A car speed off around a bend at a constant 10m/s explain why it's velocity is not constant
VARVARA [1.3K]
It's velocity is not constant as direction is changing.
 
We know, velocity is speed with direction, so if direction is changing, velocity can't be constant, doesn't matter that speed is constant.

Hope this helps!
