It is possible because the rubber ball has mechanical energy which is equal to potential energy.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by the object, including the potential energy and the kinetic energy.

M.A = K.E + P.E

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position.

When kinetic energy (K.E) = 0

M.A = P.E

Thus, it is possible because the rubber ball has mechanical energy which is equal to potential energy.

A ball is thrown up into the air with an initial velocity of 18 m/s. A) How high does the ball go? B) Calculate the time needed
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B) t = 1.83 [s]

A) y = 16.51 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} -g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vo = initial velocity = 18 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign in the above equation means that the acceleration of gravity is acting in the opposite direction to the motion.

A) The maximum height is reached when the final velocity of the ball is zero.

0 = 18 - (9.81*t)

9.81*t = 18

t = 18/9.81

t = 1.83 [s], we found the answer for B.

Now using the following equation.

y = y_{o} + v_{o}*t - 0.5*g*t^{2}\\

where:

y = elevation [m]

Yo = initial elevation = 0

y = 18*(1.83) - 0.5*9.81*(1.83)²

y = 16.51 [m]

Starting at t = 0 s , a horizontal net force F⃗ =( 0.285 N/s )ti^+(-0.460 N/s2 )t2j^ is applied to a box that has an initial mom
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Impulse = force x time

impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum = force x time

Force F = .285 t -.46t²

Since force is variable

change in momentum = ∫ F dt  where F is force

= ∫ .285ti - .46t²j dt

= .285 t² / 2i - .46 t³ / 3 j

When t = 1.9

change in momentum = .285 x 1.9² /2 i  -  .46 x 1.9³ / 3 j

= .514i - 1.05 j

final momentum

= - 3.1 i + 3.9j +.514i - 1.05j

= - 2.586 i + 2.85j

x component = - 2.586

y component = 2.85

Consider three scenarios in which a particular box moves downward under the pull of gravity :
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1. True  WA > WB > WC

Explanation:

In this exercise they give work for several different configurations and ask that we show the relationship between them, the best way to do this is to calculate each work separately.

A) Work is the product of force by distance and the cosine of the angle between them

    WA = W h cos 0

   WA = mg h

B) On a ramp without rubbing

     Sin30 = h / L

     L = h / sin 30

     WB = F d cos θ  

     WB = F L cos 30

     WB = mf (h / sin30) cos 30

     WB = mg h ctan 30

C) Ramp with rubbing

    W sin 30 - fr = ma

   N- Wcos30 = 0

   W sin 30 - μ W cos 30 = ma

    F = W (sin30 - μ cos30)

   WC = mg (sin30 - μ cos30) h / sin30

   Wc = mg (1 - μ ctan30) h

When we review the affirmation it is the work where there is rubbing is the smallest and the work where it comes in free fall at the maximum

Let's review the claims

1. True The work of gravity is the greatest and the work where there is friction is the least

2 False. The job where there is friction is the least

3 False work with rubbing is the least

4 False work with rubbing is the least

1. A car is stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, the car starts
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Because of inertia (Newton's First Law of motion)

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law of motion:

"An object at rest (or in motion at constant velocity) will tend to stay at rest (or tend to keep moving with same velocity) unless acted upon an unbalanced force"

In this problem, the object we are analyzing is the coffee cup.

At the beginning, the cup is at rest, together with the car.

Later, the car starts moving when the light turns green.

If we apply Newton's First Law of motion to the cup, we see that the coffee cup tends to keep its state of rest: for this reason, as the car moves forward, the coffee in the cup will spill backward, into the rear seat. This property of an object to mantain its state of motion is also called as inertia.
