Answer:
v = 7.18_m/s
Explanation:
Velocity of the earth towards the ball is = velocity of the ball moving towards earth
For object in free fall, we have
Where
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity
t = time
S = height of ball above ground
v^2 = u^2 - 2×g×(-S)
= 0 + 2×9.8×2.63 = 51.55_m^2/s^2
Velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is
v = 7.18_m/s
100 as momentum=mass×velocity
Jenny is traveling southward. In order to stop, she needs a northward acceleration.
A better way to say it:
Jenny is traveling southward in her bumper car, so the direction of her velocity is south. In order to reduce her velocity to zero, a velocity of equal magnitude but directed north must be added to it. Then the change in velocity is positive northward, and the change in velocity per unit time is acceleration.
Whenever an object is falling, its potential energy
is decreasing and its kinetic energy is increasing.
Olivia's potential energy is decreasing and her kinetic energy
is increasing as she moves toward the right side of the picture,
all the way from W, through X, to the bottom of the arc.
