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

What would happen to the two balls if one of them were kept positively charged and the charge on the other ball were slowly incr

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The force of repulsion between the two balls will increase

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between the centres of the two objects

We see that the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the charges on the two objects. in this problem, we have two positively charged balls (so, there is a force of repulsion between them, since like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other), and the positive charge in one of them is slowly increased: this means that either $q_1$ or $q_2$ in the formula is increasing, and so the magnitude of the force is increasing.

A machine is supplied Energy at a rate of 4000 W and does useful work at a rate of 3760 W. What is the efficiency of the machine

ICE Princess25 [194]

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio between the output power and the power in input:
$\epsilon = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}$
in our problem, the output power is 3760 W while the input power is 4000 W, so the efficiency is
$\epsilon = \frac{3760 W}{4000 W} =0.94$
So the efficiency of the machine is 94%.

If a person whirls an object horizontally in a counter clockwise direction and the string breaks at point P as shown, what path

Nata [24]

when an object is revolving in circular path then its velocity is always along the tangent of the circular path

so while moving in circular path if the string is break then due to law of inertia the object will always move in the direction of initial motion

As we know that as per law of inertia if an object will not change its state of motion or state of rest until some external force will act on it.

So here also the object will move along its tangential direction once the string will break

so here the correct path will be

A rock is thrown upward from a bridge into a river below. The function f(t)=−16t2+44t+88 determines the height of the rock above

babymother [125]

1) 88 ft

2) 4.09 s

3) 1.38 s

4) 118.2 m

Explanation:

1)

For an object thrown upward and subjected to free fall, the height of the object at any time t is given by the suvat equation:

$h(t) = h_0 + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (1)

where

$h_0$ is the height at time t = 0

$u$ is the initial vertical velocity

$g=32 ft/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

The function that describes the height of the rock above the surface at a time t in this problem is

$f(t)=-16t^2+44t+88$ (2)

By comparing the terms with same degree of eq(1) and eq(2), we observe that

$h_0 = 88 ft$

which means that the rock is at height h = 88 ft when t = 0: therefore, this means that the height of the bridge above the water is 88 feet.

2)

The rock will hit the water when its height becomes zero, so when

$f(t)=0$

which means when

$0=-16t^2+44t+88$

First of all, we can simplify the equation by dividing each term by 4:

$0=-4t^2+11t+22$

This is a second-order equation, so we solve it using the usual formula and we find:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-11\pm \sqrt{(11)^2-4(-4)(22)}}{2(-4)}=\frac{-11\pm \sqrt{121+352}}{-8}=\frac{-11\pm 21.75}{-8}$

Which gives only one positive solution (we neglect the negative solution since it has no physical meaning):

t = 4.09 s

So, the rock hits the water after 4.09 seconds.

3)

Here we want to find how many seconds after being thrown does the rock reach its maximum height above the water.

For an object in free fall motion, the vertical velocity is given by the expression

$v=u-gt$

where

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

The object reaches its maximum height when its velocity changes direction, so when the vertical velocity is zero:

$v=0$

which means

$0=u-gt$

Here we have

$u=+44 ft/s$ (initial velocity)

$g=32 ft/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

Solving for t, we find the time at which this occurs:

$t=\frac{u}{g}=\frac{44}{32}=1.38 s$

4)

The maximum height of the rock can be calculated by evaluating f(t) at the time the rock reaches the maximum height, so when

t = 1.38 s

The expression that gives the height of the rock at time t is

$f(t)=-16t^2+44t+88$

Substituting t = 1.38 s, we find:

$f(1.38)=-16(1.38)^2 + 44(1.38)+88=118.2 m$

So, the maximum height reached by the rock during its motion is

$h_{max}=118.2 m$

Which means 118.2 m above the water.
