No mass does not, Kinetic energy and gravity

Answer:

Both objects fall at the same speed. Mass does not affect the speed of falling objects, assuming there is only gravity acting on it. ... The horizontal force applied does not affect the downward motion of the bullets -- only gravity and friction

A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) $t=2s$

b) $h_{max}=1024ft$

c) $v_{y}=-256ft/s$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

$v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2$

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

$0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)$

$y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft$

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

$h=-16t^2+64t+960$

$1024=-16t^2+64t+960$

$0=-16t^2+64t-64$

Solving the quadratic equation

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64$

$t=2s$

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

$v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s$

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

$v=-256ft/s$

How rolling friction is less than sliding friction?

vovangra [49]

Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.

Which statement correctly describes the motion of water particles due to the action of waves?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

C True. they rise and fall in a circular motion

Explanation:

The movement of water waves in the sea is described by a simple harmonic movement where the water droplets, which are the material particles of the movement oscillate up and down and the wave that is the energy of the movement travels perpendicular to it.

With this let's review the claims

A False

B False

C True.

D False
