Yes. take a bow for instance. while pulling back the string you have potential energy. when you let the string go and the arrow flies towards your target the string is filled with kinetic energy.
<span>3. The attempt at a solution So basically what I did was divided into components. x: (3)(2000) = (3000)*v_x y: (v_vw)*(10000) = (3000)*v_y v_x, v_y is the velocity (after collision) in the x and y direction, respectively, of both cars stuck together (since it is an inelastic collision). v_vw is the initial velocity of the Volkswagen. Now what I did was that the angle is 35 degrees north of east. So basically made a triangle and figured that tan(35) = (v_y)/(v_x). This means (v_x)*(tan35) = v_y. Then, I simplified the component equations to get: x: 2 = v_x y: v_vw = 3*v_y Then plugging in for v_y, I got: v_vw = 3(2)(tan35) = 4.2 m/s as the velocity of the volkswagen. However, the answer key says 8.6 m/s. Could someone please help me out? Thanks Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories on Phys.org • Game over?

The answer is d. i hope this helps :D
Answer:
(1) 14.12 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
= initial speed of the ball = 16 m/s
= angle of the initial speed with the horizontal axis = 
= initial height of the ball from where Julie throws the ball = 1.5 m
= final position of the ball where Sarah catches the ball = 1.5 m
Let us assume the following:
= horizontal component of the initial speed
= vertical component of the initial speed
= horizontal acceleration of the ball
= vertical acceleration of the ball
The given problem is projectile motion. When the ball is thrown from the air with a speed of 16 m/s at an angle 28 degree with the horizontal axis. When the ball is in the air, it experiences an only gravitational force in the downward direction if we ignore air resistance on the ball.
This means if we break the motion of the ball along two axes and study it, we have a uniform acceleration motion in the vertical direction and a zero acceleration motion along the horizontal.
Since the ball has a zero acceleration motion along the horizontal axis, the ball must have a constant speed along the horizontal at all instant of time.
Let us find out the initial velocity horizontal component of the velocity of the ball. which is given by:
As this horizontal velocity remains constant in the horizontal motion at all instants of time. So, the horizontal component of the ball's velocity when Sarah catches the ball is 14.12 m/s.
Hence, the horizontal component of the ball's velocity when the ball is caught by Sarah is 14.12 m/s.
