Answer:

a) the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point is 69.58 J

b) its speed when it is 8.11 m below its highest point is 55.97 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of golf ball m = 46.8 g = 0.0468 kg

initial speed of the ball v₁ = 58.8 m/s

height h = 24.7 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point = ?

from the conservation of energy;

Kinetic energy at the highest point will be;

K.Ei + P.Ei = KEf + PEf

now the Initial potential energy of the ball P.Ei = 0 J

so

1/2mv² + 0 J = KEf + mgh

K.Ef = 1/2mv² - mgh

we substitute

K.Ef = [1/2 × 0.0468 × (58.8 )²] - [0.0468 × 9.8 × 24.7]

K.Ef  = 80.904 - 11.3284

K.Ef = 69.58 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point is 69.58 J

b) when the ball is 8.11 m below the highest point, speed = ?

so our raw height h' will be ( 24.7 m - 8.11 m) = 16.59 m

so our velocity will be v₂

also using the principle of energy conservation;

K.Ei + P.Ei = KEh + PEh

1/2mv² + 0 J = 1/2mv₂² + mgh'

1/2mv₂² = 1/2mv² - mgh'

multiply through by 2/m

v₂² = v² - 2gh'

v₂ = √( v² - 2gh' )

we substitute

v₂ = √( (58.8)² - 2×9.8×16.59 )

v₂ = √( 3457.44 - 325.164 )  

v₂ = √( 3132.276 )

v₂ = 55.97 m/s

Therefore, its speed when it is 8.11 m below its highest point is 55.97 m/s

You are packing for a trip to another star. During the journey, you will be traveling at 0.99c. You are trying to decide whether
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Do neither of these things ( c )

Explanation:

For length contraction : Is calculated considering the observer moving at a speed that is relative the object at rest applying this formula

L = (l) \sqrt{1 -\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

where l = Measured distance from object at rest, L =  contracted measured in relation to the observer , v = speed of clock , c = speed of light

you will do neither of these things because before you can make such decisions who have to view the object in this case yourself from a different frame from where you are currently are, if not your length and width will not change hence you can't make such conclusions/decisions .

What would happen to the moon if there was no sun and earth ?
iragen [17]

Answer:

High tides would be much smaller than they are now, and low tides would be even lower. This is because the sun would be influencing the tides, not the moon; however, the sun has a weaker pull, which would decrease the tides. ... Winds could become much faster and much stronger without the moon.

5. A man has a weight of 100 Newtons. How much work is done if he climbs 4 meters up a ladder? Plug numbers under the equation.
Virty [35]

Answer:

<h2>400 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

workdone = 100 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>400 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
