Answer:

E = 16.464 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tetherball, m = 0.8 kg

It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground, h = 21. m

We need to find the maximum gravitational potential energy of the ball. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 0.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2.1 m

= 16.464 J

So, the maximum potential energy of the ball is 16.464 J.

Show that the energy of a magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B is U--m B
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

showm

Explanation:

Consider a dipole having magnetic moment 'm' is placed in magnetic field \vec{B} then the torque exerted by the field on the dipole is

\tau = m\times B

\tau=mBsin\alpha

Now to rotate the dipole in the field to its final position the work required to be done is

U=\int \tau d\alpha

U=\int mBsin\alpha d\alpha

U= -mBcos\alpha

U=-\vec{m\times \vec{B}}

Minimum energy mB is for the case when m is anti parallel to B.

Minimum energy -mB is for the case when m is parallel to B.

Does the horizontal distance d travelled by the ball depend on the height of release? If it does depend on the height, what is t
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , the horizontal distance travelled by the ball will depend upon the height of release .

When a ball is thrown at some angle from a height , it has two components , the vertical component and horizontal component . The ball goes in horizontal direction due to its horizontal component . Its vertical component has no role to play .  But the horizontal range covered by the body thrown

depends upon the duration of time in which it remains in air . The longer it remains in air , the greater distance it can cover horizontally .

Horizontal distance covered = t x horizontal velocity

If V be the velocity of throw and Vx be its horizontal component

Horizontal distance covered = t x Vx

Now t depends upon the height . If height rises , time of fall will increase so horizontal distance covered will increase .

If h be the height from which the body is thrown , Vy be the vertical upward component of initial velocity

from the relation

s = ut + 1/2 at²

h = - Vy t  + 1/2 at²

As h increases , t will increase and therefore horizontal distance covered will increase. If the ball has only  horizontal velocity initially , Vy = 0

h = 1/2 gt²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

Horizontal distance covered  = t x Vx

= \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \times  V_x

From this expression also

Horizontal distance covered is proportional to \sqrt{h} .

The diagram shows a ballistic pendulum. A 200 g bullet is fired into the suspended 4 kg block of wood and remains embedded insid
adoni [48]

Question

What was the initial momentum of the bullet before collision?

Answer:

10 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a product of velocity of an object in m/s and its mass in kgs hence numerically expressed as p=mv where p is momentum, v is velocity and m is mass. Substituting m for 0.2 kg and v for 50 m/s then p=0.2*50=10 kg.m/s
