Answer: 4,998 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

E_p=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the heigth of the object with respect to a reference point

In this problem, m=68 kg, g=9.8 m/s^2, and h=7.5 m is the heigth of the diver with respect to the surface of the pool. Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the diver with respect to the surface of the pool is

E=mgh=(68 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(7.5 m)=4,998 J

Anton [14]

Answer: 0.04308 m/s^2

Explanation: Plug the variables into the equation: a=\frac{v-v_{0} }{t} | v equals initial speed, v_{0} equals final speed and t equals time.

A pendulum of 50 cm long consists of small ball of 2kg starts swinging down from height of 45cm at rest. the ball swings down an
Ket [755]

Assuming that all energy of the small ball is transferred to the bigger ball upon impact, then we can say that:

Potential Energy of the small ball = Kinetic Energy of the bigger ball

Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height

Since the small ball start at 45 cm, then the height covered during the swinging movement is only:

height = 50 cm – 45 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Calculating for Potential Energy, PE:

PE = 2 kg * 9.8 m / s^2 * 0.05 m = 0.98 J

Therefore, maximum kinetic energy of the bigger ball is:

<span>Max KE = PE = 0.98 J</span>

Gordon throws a baseball into the air. It rises, stops when it reaches its greatest height, and then falls back down to the grou
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

A) When the baseball is rising

Explanation:

When an object like the baseball is thrown into the air, the kinetic energy  is gradually converted into potential energy. When the baseball rises to its maximum height, the kinetic energy becomes zero and the kinetic energy is fully converted into potential energy.
