Answer:

1920Joules

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the kinetic energy of a body is expressed as;

KE = 1/2 mv²

m isthe mass

V is the speed

For the two masses, the combined KE is expressed as;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v²

KE = 1/2(45+15)(8)²

KE = 1/2 * 60 * 64

KE = 30 * 64

KE = 1920J

Hence the combined kinetic energy of the boy and the bicycle is 1920Joules

A passenger on your boat falls overboard. what should you do first?

yarga [219]

The very first thing that you should do when a passenger on your boat falls overboard is to throw a PFD or also known as a Personal Flotation Device. This would include anything that can help the passenger to float. But this step would differ, only if the passenger is not wearing a lifevest.

022 (part 1 of 4) 10.0 points A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 24.5 m/s. How high does it rise? The accelerati

svetoff [14.1K]

1)

Answer:

Part 1)

H = 30.6 m

Part 2)

t = 2.5 s

Part 3)

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

$v_f = 24.5 m/s$

Explanation:

Part 1)

initial speed of the ball upwards

$v_i = 24.5 m/s$

so maximum height of the ball is given by

$H = \frac{v_i^2}{2g}$

$H = \frac{24.5^2}{2(9.80)}$

$H = 30.6 m$

Part 2)

As we know that final speed will be zero at maximum height

so we will have

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 24.5 = (-9.8)t$

$t = 2.5 s$

Part 3)

Since the time of ascent of ball is same as time of decent of the ball

so here ball will same time to hit the ground back

so here it is given as

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

since the acceleration due to earth will be same during its return path as well as the time of the motion is also same

so here its final speed will be same as that of initial speed

so we have

$v_f = 24.5 m/s$

2)

Answer:

a = 9.76 m/s/s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is released from rest

so the displacement of the object in vertical direction is given as

$y = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$4.88 = \frac{1}{2}a(1^2)$

$a = 9.76 m/s^2$

3)

Answer:

v = 29.7 m/s

Explanation:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

$a = 90 m/s^2$

time taken by the rocket

t = 0.33 min

final speed of the rocket is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 0 + (90)(0.33)$

$v_f = 29.7 m/s$

4)

Answer:

Part 1)

y = 25.95 m

Part 2)

d = 6.72 m

Explanation:

Part 1)

As it took t = 2.3 s to hit the water surface

so here we will have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2.3^2)$

$y = 25.95 m$

Part 2)

Distance traveled by it in horizontal direction is given as

$d = v_x t$

$d = 2.92 \times 2.3$

$d = 6.72 m$
