A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

In a series circuit, there is only one path for current to take.
If more bulbs are added, then the same current loses more energy,
making heat and light on its way through more bulbs, so the ones that
were there before become dimmer.

What happens when someone is walking across the carpeted room then touches a metal door knob

igomit [66]

Static electricity travels to the door knob because of the friction caused by the feet on the carpet. the friction traveled through the person, to their hand, and to the door knob because it is the best conductor.

Recently, astronomers have observed stars and other objects that orbit the center of the Milky Way Galaxy farther out than our S

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

That scenario can be explained by the idea of the contribution of dark matter on that point.

Explanation:

It can be explained through the idea of dark matter, this one was born to explain why stars (or any object) that were farther for the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy didn't decrease it rotational velocity as it was expected according to equation 1.

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}$ (1)

Where v is the rotational velocity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the supermassive black hole, and r is the orbital radius.

Notice, that If the distance increases the orbital speed decreases (inversely proportional).
