A 46.8-g golf ball is driven from the tee with an initial speed of 58.8 m/s and rises to a height of 24.7 m. (a) Neglect air res
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

a) the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point is 69.58 J

b) its speed when it is 8.11 m below its highest point is 55.97 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of golf ball m = 46.8 g = 0.0468 kg

initial speed of the ball v₁ = 58.8 m/s

height h = 24.7 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point = ?

from the conservation of energy;

Kinetic energy at the highest point will be;

K.Ei + P.Ei = KEf + PEf

now the Initial potential energy of the ball P.Ei = 0 J

so

1/2mv² + 0 J = KEf + mgh

K.Ef = 1/2mv² - mgh

we substitute

K.Ef = [1/2 × 0.0468 × (58.8 )²] - [0.0468 × 9.8 × 24.7]

K.Ef  = 80.904 - 11.3284

K.Ef = 69.58 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point is 69.58 J

b) when the ball is 8.11 m below the highest point, speed = ?

so our raw height h' will be ( 24.7 m - 8.11 m) = 16.59 m

so our velocity will be v₂

also using the principle of energy conservation;

K.Ei + P.Ei = KEh + PEh

1/2mv² + 0 J = 1/2mv₂² + mgh'

1/2mv₂² = 1/2mv² - mgh'

multiply through by 2/m

v₂² = v² - 2gh'

v₂ = √( v² - 2gh' )

we substitute

v₂ = √( (58.8)² - 2×9.8×16.59 )

v₂ = √( 3457.44 - 325.164 )  

v₂ = √( 3132.276 )

v₂ = 55.97 m/s

Therefore, its speed when it is 8.11 m below its highest point is 55.97 m/s

Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.
