Answer:

The K.E of the bowling ball right before it hits the ground, K.E = 2450 J            

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the bowling ball, m = 10 kg

The height of the building, h = 25 m

The total mechanical energy of the body is given by,

                                     E = P.E + K.E

At height 'h' the P.E is maximum and the K.E is zero,

According to the law of conservation of energy, the K.E at the ground before hitting the ground is equal to the P.E at 'h'

Therefore, P.E at 'h'

                                  P.E = mgh

                                         = 10 x 9.8 x 25

                                         =  2450 J

Hence, the K.E of the bowling ball right before it hits the ground, K.E = 2450 J

Alexeev081 [22]

The average rate at which the cable does work is 294,000 J/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>mass, m = 3000 kg</em>
  • <em>height, h = 200 m</em>
  • <em>time of motion, t = 20 s</em>

The average rate at which the cable does work is calculated as follows;

P = \frac{E}{t} \\\\P = \frac{mgh}{t} \\\\P = \frac{3000 \times 9.8 \times 200}{20} \\\\P = 294,000 \ J/s

Thus, the average rate at which the cable does work is 294,000 J/s.

You are traveling 70 mph (31.3 m/s) and slam on the brakes to avoid hitting another car. How far do you travel if it takes you 8
Arlecino [84]

You traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Initial velocity, U = 31.3 m/s  
  • Time, t = 8.5 seconds.

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find the distance traveled, we would use the second equation of motion:

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Where:

  • S is the distance travelled.
  • u is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

S = 31.3(8.5) + \frac{x}{y} (9.8)(8.5^2)\\\\S = 266.05 + 4.9(72.25)\\\\S = 266.05 + 354.025

<em>Distance, S</em><em> = </em><em>620.075 meters.</em>

Therefore, you traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.
