Four identical balls are thrown from the top of a cliff, each with the same speed. The

Jlenok [28]3 years ago

Answer:

the speed and the kinetic energy of the first and fourth ball are equal, while the speed and kinetic energy of the second and third balls are equal

Explanation:

The kinetic energy, K.E. = (1/2) × m × v²

The velocity of the ball, v = u × sin(θ)

Where;

u = The initial velocity of the ball

θ = The reference angle

1) For the ball thrown straight up, we have;

θ = 90°

∴ v = u

The final velocity of the ball as it strikes the ground is v₂ = u² + 2gh

Where;

h = The height of the cliff

∴ K.E. = (1/2) × m × (u² + 2gh)²

2) For the second ball thrown 30° to the horizontal, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((u×sin30)² + 2·g·h)² = K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u)² + 2·g·h)²

3) For the third ball thrown at 30° below the horizontal, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((u×sin30)² + 2·g·h)² = K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u)² + 2·g·h)²

4)  For the fourth ball thrown straight down, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × (u² + 2gh)²

Therefore, as the ball strike the ground, the speed and the kinetic energy of the first and fourth ball are equal, while the speed and kinetic energy of the second and third balls are equal

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The bulb is not powered because the negative end of the battery is not connected to the electric current,making it dysfunctional. The electrons have to flow through the positive and negative ends of the battery in order for it to work.

Hope this helps.

What is the most likely outcome of increasing the number of slits per unit distance on a diffraction grating?1) lines become nar
Nina [5.8K]

It's important to know that diffraction gratings can be identified by the number of lines they have per centimeter. Often, more lines per centimeter is more useful because the images separation is greater when this happens. That is, the distance between lines increases.

<h2>Therefore, the answer is 2.</h2>

A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass,
fomenos

Answer:

The momentum would be doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the train

v is its speed

In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:

m'=2m

therefore, the new momentum is

p'=m'v=(2m)v=2(mv)=2p

so, the momentum has also doubled.

Objects in space that are moving at a constant velocity in a straight line ___________.
nikdorinn [45]
The best answer is A) <span>keep moving at a constant velocity until some forces act on them

As the man you're probably tired of hearing about said:

"Every object persists in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless a new force acts upon it" 
This is Isaac Newton's 1st law of motion, or the law of inertia. 

Put more simply, objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and tend the maintain the same velocity (direction and speed) and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. </span>

Please help, and show steps. Thank you very much!
Vikentia [17]
V = 8 * 10^2 km/h = 800km/h
S= 1,8* 10^3 km = 1800km
t = ?
v = S/t
t = S/v
t = 1800km/ 800km/h
t ≈ 2,25h (135min)
