Potential energy, stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system. A spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched. A steel ball has more potential energy raised above the ground

A ball has a mass of 1.5kg and is thrown straight up with a speed of 60m/s, what is the ball’s momentum:
madam [21]

Answer:

Assumption: the air resistance on this ball is negligible. Take g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

a. The momentum of the ball would be approximately 60\;\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} two seconds after it is tossed into the air.

b. The momentum of the ball would be approximately \rm \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right) three seconds after it reaches the highest point (assuming that it didn't hit the ground.) This momentum is smaller than zero because it points downwards.

Explanation:

The momentum p of an object is equal its mass m times its velocity v. That is: \vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}.

Assume that the air resistance on this ball is negligible. If that's the case, then the ball would accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. In other words, its velocity would become approximately 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} more negative every second.

The initial velocity of the ball is 60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. After two seconds, its velocity would have become 60\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 2\; \rm s \times \left(-10\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right) = 40\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. The momentum of the ball at that time would be around p = m \cdot v \approx 60\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}.

When the ball is at the highest point of its trajectory, the velocity of the ball would be zero. However, the ball would continue to accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. That's how the ball's velocity becomes negative.

After three more seconds, the velocity of the ball would be 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 3\; \rm s \times \left(-10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right) = -30 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. Accordingly, the ball's momentum at that moment would be p = m \cdot v \approx \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right).

What happens to the mechanical energy of an apple as it falls from a tree?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

When the apple falls from the tree, it has some gravitational potential energy due to its height. Now, When it starts falling, the Gravitation Potential energy will starts converting into the Kinetic Energy. When the apple is about to strikes the ground, the Gravitational Potential energy have been converted into the Kinetic Energy.

A girl kicks a blue ball with a velocity of 20.0 m/s at 65.0o. How long is it in the air?
34kurt

Explanation:

t = usin©/g

Where t is the time to reach the maximum height

Time spent in air is T = 2t

Hence, T = 2usin©/g

T = 2 x 20 x sin 65°/ 9.8

T = 3.69s
