Answer:
The Statement is wrong because the reverse is the case as it is the kinetic energy that is being transformed to gravitational potential energy.
Explanation:
As your friend throws the baseball into the air the ball gains an initial velocity (u) and this makes the Kinetic energy to be equal to
Here m is the mass of the baseball
Now as this ball moves further upward the that velocity it gained reduce due to the gravitational force and this in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the ball and this kinetic energy lost is being converted to gravitational potential energy which is mathematically represented as (m×g×h)
as energy can not be destroyed but converted to a different form according to the first law of thermodynamics
Looking a the formula for gravitational potential energy we see that the higher the ball goes the grater the gravitational potential energy.
Answer:
The acceleration required by the rocket in order to have a zero speed on touchdown is 19.96m/s²
The rocket's motion for analysis sake is divided into two phases.
Phase 1: the free fall motion of the rocket from the height 2.59*102m to a height 86.9m
Phase 2: the motion of the rocket due to the acceleration of the rocket also from the height 86.9m to the point of touchdown y = 0m.
Explanation:
The initial velocity of the rocket is 0m/s when it started falling from rest under free fall. g = 9.8m/s² t1 is the time taken for phase 1 and t2 is the time taken for phase2.
The final velocity under free fall becomes the initial velocity for the accelerated motion of the rocket in phase 2 and the final velocity or speed in phase 2 is equal to zero.
The detailed step by step solution to the problems can be found in the attachment below.
Thank you and I hope this solution is helpful to you. Good luck.
