Kinetic energy = (mv^2)/2. So (.5)(10^2)/2 = 25 J

James threw a ball vertically upward with a velocity of 41.67ms-1 and after 2 second David threw a ball vertically upward with a

Reptile [31]

Answer:

When have passed 3.9[s], since James threw the ball.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the ball thrown by James and we will find the final height and velocity by the time two seconds have passed.

We'll use the kinematics equations to find these two unknowns.

$y=y_{0} +v_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\where:\\y= elevation [m]\\y_{0}=initial height [m]\\v_{0}= initial velocity [m/s] =41.67[m/s]\\t = time passed [s]\\g= gravity [m/s^2]=9.81[m/s^2]\\Now replacing:\\y=0+41.67 *(2)-\frac{1}{2} *(9.81)*(2)^{2} \\\\y=63.72[m]\\$

Note: The sign for the gravity is minus because it is acting against the movement.

Now we can find the velocity after 2 seconds.

$v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t\\replacing:\\v_{f} =41.67-(9.81)*(2)\\\\v_{f}=22.05[m/s]$

Note: The sign for the gravity is minus because it is acting against the movement.

Now we can take these values calculated as initial values, taking into account that two seconds have already passed. In this way, we can find the time, through the equations of kinematics.

$y=y_{o} +v_{o} *t-\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\y=63.72 +22.05 *t-\frac{1}{2} *(9.81)*t^{2} \\\\y=63.72 +22.05 *t-4.905*t^{2} \\$

As we can see the equation is based on Time (t).

Now we can establish with the conditions of the ball launched by David a new equation for y (elevation) in function of t, then we match these equations and find time t

$y=y_{o} +v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\where:\\v_{o} =55.56[m/s] = initial velocity\\y_{o} =0[m]\\now replacing\\63.72 +22.05 *t-(4.905)*t^{2} =0 +55.56 *t-(4.905)*t^{2} \\63.72 +22.05 *t =0 +55.56 *t\\63.72 = 33.51*t\\t=1.9[s]$

Then the time when both balls are going to be the same height will be when 2 [s] plus 1.9 [s] have passed after David throws the ball.

Time = 2 + 1.9 = 3.9[s]

Why is it important to understand the concept of density ?

N76 [4]

Density applies to many if not all aspects of life. With density you can explain why ice floats. You can explain why oxygen is on the earth, and not floating around in space( or being replaced by another gas). You can also explain why heat rises while cold air sinks.
