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

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?
tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

v_{x}^{2} = v_{ox}^{2} +2 a x (x - x₀)

v_{x} = velocity at position "x"

v_{ox} = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

x_{o} = initial position of the object at the start of the motion

A person observes a firework display for A safe distance of .750 km. Assuming that sound travels at 340 m/s in air what is the t
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

A person observes a firework display for A safe distance of 0.750 km.

d = 750 m

The speed of sound in air, v = 340 m/s

We need to find the between the person see and hear a firework explosion. let it is t. So, using the formula of speed.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{750\ m}{340\ m/s}\\\\t=2.2\ s

So, the required time is 2.2 seconds.

Torque can cause the angular momentum vector to rotate in UCM. This motion is called ___________.
emmainna [20.7K]

Torque can cause the angular momentum vector to rotate in UCM. This motion is called _Conservation of Angular momentum__________.

Answer:

Conservation of Angular momentum

Explanation:

The motion of an object in a circular path at constant speed is known as uniform circular motion (UCM). An object in UCM is constantly changing direction, and since velocity is a vector and has direction, you could say that an object undergoing UCM has a constantly changing velocity, even if its speed remains constant.

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that when no external torque acts on an object, no change of angular momentum will occur.

Key Points

When an object is spinning in a closed system and no external torques are applied to it, it will have no change in angular momentum.

The conservation of angular momentum explains the angular acceleration of an ice skater as she brings her arms and legs close to the vertical axis of rotation.

If the net torque is zero, then angular momentum is constant or conserved.

Angular Momentum

The conserved quantity we are investigating is called angular momentum. The symbol for angular momentum is the letter L. Just as linear momentum is conserved when there is no net external forces, angular momentum is constant or conserved when the net torque is zero. We can see this by considering Newton’s 2nd law for rotational motion:

τ→=dL→dt, where  

τ is the torque. For the situation in which the net torque is zero,  

dL→dt=0.

If the change in angular momentum ΔL is zero, then the angular momentum is constant; therefore,

⇒

L  =constant

L=constant (when net τ=0).

This is an expression for the law of conservation of angular momentum.

Example and Implications

An example of conservation of angular momentum is seen in an ice skater executing a spin,  The net torque on her is very close to zero,

because (1) there is relatively little friction between her skates and the ice, and (2) the friction is exerted very close to the pivot point.

Conservation of angular momentum is one of the key conservation laws in physics, along with the conservation laws for energy and (linear) momentum. These laws are applicable even in microscopic domains where quantum mechanics governs; they exist due to inherent symmetries present in nature.

Which of the following is not considered a major work flow structure?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Fabrication

Explanation:

A workflow flow is a detailed business process consisting of a series of required interconnected tasks in  directed graph format  that is executable by  workflow management system.

Considering each of the options, we have

A. Work center

This consists of part of the transformation input to output. The location

B. Project

This is the unique identifier of the task to be processed

C. Assembly line

Forms part of the required input where transformation takes place and items are being processed within the assembly line

D. Fabrication

Here the item is fixed, without motion, therefore this is not considered a major work flow structure

E. Continuous flow

Here again, the items are being processed and are in motion, which constitutes a workflow structure.
