You are trying to find out how high you have to pitch a water balloon in order for it to burst when it hits the ground. You disc

over that the balloon bursts when you have pitched it to a height of 12 m. With what velocity did the balloon hit the ground? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . The positive direction is up, so the velocity when it hits is negative. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

You found that the best height to pitch a water balloon in order for it to

burst when it hits the ground is 12 meters.

We consider that the 12 meters is the maximum height, so the velocity

at this height is zero.

To find the velocity when the balloon hits the ground lets use the rule

<em>v² = u² + 2gh</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is

the acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

u = 0 , h = 12 m , g = 9.8 m/s²

<em>Substitute these values in the equation above</em>

v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(12)

v² = 235.2

<em>Take square root for both sides</em>

v = ± $\sqrt{235.2}$

The velocity is downward, then it's a negative value

Then v = -15.34 m/s

<em>The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s</em>

When an objects total mechanical energy is conserved and it is dropped from rest how does the objects initial potential energy c

frozen [14]

Answer:Magnitude of potential energy before falling will be equal to the magnitude of the final kinetic energy, energy is only converted from potential to kinetic

Explanation: law of conservation of energy says that energy can neither be created or destroyed but Change from one form to another.so nothing will happen to the size of the potential energy when it changes to kinetic energy

The mean diameters of Mars and Earth are 6.9 ✕ 103 km and 1.3 ✕ 104 km, respectively. The mass of Mars is 0.11 times Earth's mas

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

(a) Ratio of mean density is 0.735

(b) Value of g on mars 0.920 $m,/sec^2$

(c) Escape velocity on earth is $3.563\times 10^4m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given radius of mars $R_{mars}=6.9\times 10^3km=6.9\times 10^6m$ and radius of earth $R_{E}=1.3\times 10^4km=1.3\times 10^7m$

Mass of earth $M_E=5.972\times 10^{24}kg$

So mass of mars $M_m=5.972\times\times 0.11 \times 10^{24}=0.657\times 10^{24}kg$

Volume of mars $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (6.9\times 10^6)^3=1375.357\times 10^{18}m^3$

So density of mars $d_{mars}=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{0.657\times 10^{24}}{1375.357\times 10^{18}}=477.69kg/m^3$

Volume of earth $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (1.3\times 10^7)^3=9.198\times 10^{21}m^3$

So density of earth $d_{E}=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{9.198\times 10^{21}}=649.271kg/m^3$

(A) So the ratio of mean density $\frac{d_{mars}}{d_E}=\frac{477.69}{649.27}=0.735$

(B) Value of g on mars

g is given by $g=\frac{GM}{R^2}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times0.657\times 10^{24}}{(6.9\times 10^6)^2}=0.920m/sec^2$

(c) Escape velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 0.657\times 10^{24}}{6.9\times 10^6}}=3.563\times 10^4m/sec$
