PLZ HELP IM REALLY CONFUSED a boy is playing catch with his friend. He throws the ball straight up. When it leaves his hand, the

ball (2kg) is traveling 10m/s. Whats the ball's kinetic energy just as it leaves the boy's hand? What is the potential energy of the ball when it reaches the highest point

Answer:

K.E = 100 J

Final P.E = 100 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of any object can be given by the following formula:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})mv^{2}

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy

m = mass of ball = 2 kg

v = speed of ball

Initially, v = 10 m/s. Therefore, the initial K.E is given as:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})(2\ kg)(10\ m/s)^{2}

<u>K.E = 100 J</u>

Now, at the highest point the K.E of the ball becomes zero. because the ball stops for a moment at the highest point and its velocity becomes zero. So, from Law of Conservation of energy:

Initial K.E + Initial P.E = Final K.E + Final P.E

Initial P.E is also zero due to zero height initially.

K.E + 0 = 0 + Final P.E

<u>Final P.E = 100 J</u>

ololo11 [35]

To develop this problem we require the concepts related to wavelength and its expression to calculate it.

The wavelength is given by

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}

Where,

c=3*10^8 m/s light velocity

f = frequency.

Our values are given by,

f_1=4.38*10^{14}Hz

f_2= 4.14*10^{20}Hz

f_3 = 3.24*10^{12}Hz

Then,

\lambda_1=\frac{3*10^8}{4.38*10^{14}}= 6.8493*10^{-7}m Visible

\lambda_2=\frac{3*10^8}{4.14*10^{20}}= 7.24*10^{-13}m Gamma Ray

\lambda_3=\frac{3*10^8}{3.24*10^{12}}= 9.259*10^{-5}m Infrared

<em>*Note the designation on the type of rays that are, can be found in consulted via On-line or in the optical books referring to the electromagnetic spectrum table with their respective ranges.</em>

Molodets [167]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

a = v² / r

4.0 m/s² = (1.0 m/s)² / r
