Answer:

Final velocity of ball is 85.75 m/s

Explanation:

According to the problem, ball is dropped from the window and it experience an acceleration due to Earth's gravity which is denoted by g.

Initially, the ball is at rest, so its initial velocity is zero. The ball takes 8.75 s to fall from the window and hits the ground.

The equation of motion for constant acceleration is :

v = u + at

Here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration.

In this case, u is zero and a is equal to g. So, the equation becomes :

v = gt

Substitute 8.75 s for t and 9.8 m/s² for g in the above equation.

v = 9.8 x 8.75

v = 85.75 m/s

Explanation:

When a rockets thrusters push on the ground the ground pushes back on the rocket with equal force in the opposite direction. Hence the rocket takes off.

Newtons third law of motion states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A projectile is shot directly away from Earth's surface. Neglect the rotation of the Earth. What multiple of Earth's radius RE g

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

(a) r = 1.062·R $_E$ = $\frac{531}{500} R_E$

(b) r = $\frac{33}{25} R_E$

Explanation:

Here we have escape velocity v $_e$ given by

$v_e =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$ and the maximum height given by

$\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$

Therefore, when the initial speed is 0.241v $_e$ we have

v = $0.241\times \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$ so that;

v² = $0.058081\times {\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$

v² = ${\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }$

$\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$ is then

$\frac{1}{2} {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$

Which gives

$-\frac{0.941919}{R_E} = -\frac{1}{r}$ or

r = 1.062·R $_E$

(b) Here we have

$K_i = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times v_e^2 = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times \frac{2GM}{R_E} = \frac{0.241mGM}{R_E}$

Therefore we put $\frac{0.241GM}{R_E}$ in the maximum height equation to get

$\frac{0.241}{R_E} -\frac{1}{R_E} =-\frac{1}{r}$

From which we get

r = 1.32·R $_E$

ME = KE - PE

Where the KE = PE required to leave the earth we have

ME = KE - KE = 0

The least initial mechanical energy to leave the earth is zero.

A spring is compressed 0.035 m inside a dart gun. (K=500 N/m). The spring has elastic energy. Calculate it.

NARA [144]

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.31 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

$E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

For the spring in this problem, we have:

k = 500 N/m (spring constant)

x = 0.035 m (compression)

Substituting, we find the elastic potential energy:

$E=\frac{1}{2}(500)(0.035)^2=0.31 J$
