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

he "escape velocity from Earth (the speed required to escape Earth's gravity) is 2.5 x 10 miles per hour. What is this speed in
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 11.17\ \text{ m/s}

Explanation:

Given : The escape velocity : v=2.5\times10\text{ miles per hour}

We know that 1 mile = 1609 meters  (approx)

and 1 hour= 3600 seconds

To convert escape velocity 2.5 x 10 miles per hour into m/s , we need to multiply it by 1609.34 and divide it by 3600.

Thus, the escape velocity in m/s is given by :-

v=2.5\times10\times\dfrac{1609}{3600}\\\\=11.1736111111\approx11.17\text{ m/s}

Hence, the speed in m/s = 11.17

What is the deceleration of a bicycle that goes from 40m/s to 20m/s in 5 seconds
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of the bycicle is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 20 m/s is the final velocity of the bike

u = 40 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time interval

Substituting numbers, we find

a=\frac{20 m/s-40 m/s}{5s}=-4 m/s^2

and the acceleration is negative, which means that the bycicle is slowing down.

James is planning a science fair project on sound waves. He places an alarm inside a jar which he can remove the
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

this is simple, because when air is removed, means that there is no particles in the jar so vacuum is achieved, and when you can't hear a sound means that the sound couldn't travel through the vacuum. which means that sound cannot travel through vacuum,

as a result, sound requires a medium ( air) travel from one point to another.

hope it helps, if not please report it so that someone else gets to try it

A 63.3 kg wood board is resting on very smooth ice in the middle of a frozen lake. A 35.7 kg boy stands at one end of the board.
Vlada [557]

The velocity of the board relative to the ice is zero, since both are at rest.

<h3>What is relative velocity?</h3>

Relative velocity is the velocity of an object in relation to another reference object or point.

When two objects are travelling or moving with the same velocity in the same direction, the relative velocity one relative to the other is zero.

Also, when two objects are at rest, the relative velocity one relative to the other is zero.

Therefore, the velocity of the board relative to the ice is zero, since both are at rest.
