A student at another university repeats the experiment you did in lab. Her target ball is 0.860 m above the floor when it is in

the target holder and the steel ball she uses has a mass of 0.0120 kg. She finds that the target ball travels a distance of 1.50 m after it is struck. Assume g = 9.80 m/s2. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of the target ball just after it is struck?

Answer:

K = 0.076 J

Explanation:

The height of the target, h = 0.860  m

The mass of the steel ball, m = 0.0120 kg

Distance moved, d = 1.50 m

We need to find the kinetic energy (in joules) of the target ball just after it is struck. Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach the ground.

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

Put all the values,

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 0.860 }{9.8}} \\\\=0.418\ s

The velocity of the ball is :

v=\dfrac{1.5}{0.418}\\\\= $$3.58\ m/s

The kinetic energy of the ball is :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0120\times 3.58^2\\\\=0.076\ J

So, the required kinetic energy is 0.076 J.

The expression below was formed by combining different gas laws.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Avogadro's law.

Explanation:

Avogadro’s law states that, equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

Mathematically,

V n

V = Kn where V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; n = number of moles of gas;

K = mathematical constant.

The ideal gas equation is a combination of Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro’s law.

V 1/P at constant temperature (Boyle’s law)

V T at constant pressure ( Charles’law)

V n at constant temperature and pressure ( Avogadro’s law )

Combining the equations yields,

V nT/P

Introducing a constant,

V = nRT/P

PV = nRT

Where P = pressure in atm, Pa, torr, mmHg or Nm-2; V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; T = temperature in Kelvin; n = number of moles of gas in mol; R = molar gas constant = 0.082 dm3atmK-1mol-1

Starting from a pillar, you run 200 m east (the + x-direction) at an average speed of 5.0 m/s and then run 280 m west at an aver
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Total time taken=110 seconds

Total distance traveled=480m

Explanation:

First of all, we find the total time taken:

For that, we use the formula : Distance/Speed= Time

Time for part 1 : 200/5=40 seconds

Time for part 2 : 280/4=70seconds

Total time taken=110 seconds

Total distance traveled=480m

Average Speed= 480/110=4.36 m/s

Total displacement=200-280=-80m (Since this is displacement, we need to find the distance between the initial and final point. Also, I've taken east direction as positive and west as negative)

Average Velocity=-80/110=-0.72 m/s

OR 0.72m/s towards west.
