The height of the ball is 2.45 m.

To calculate the height of the ball, we use the formula below.

<h3>Formula</h3>
  • E = mgh................ Equation 1

Where:

  • E = Elastic energy of the spring
  • m = mass of the ball
  • h = height of the ball
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

make h the subject of the equation

  • h = E/mg...............Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • E = 7.2 J
  • m = 0.3 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these  values into equation 2

  • h = 7.2/(0.3×9.8)
  • h = 7.2/2.94
  • h = 2.45 m

Hence, The height of the ball is 2.45 m.

A motorboat traveling on a straight course slows
never [62]

Answer:

2.572 m/s²

Explanation:

Convert the given initial velocity and final velocity rates to m/s:

  • 65 km/h → 18.0556 m/s
  • 35 km/h → 9.72222 m/s

The motorboat's displacement is 45 m during this time.

We are trying to find the acceleration of the boat.

We have the variables v₀, v, a, and Δx. Find the constant acceleration equation that contains all four of these variables.

  • v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute the known values into the equation.

  • (9.72222)² = (18.0556)² + 2a(45)
  • 94.52156173 = 326.0046914 + 90a
  • -231.4831296 = 90a
  • a = -2.572

The magnitude of the boat's acceleration is |-2.572| = 2.572 m/s².

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.7 1010 m (inside the orbit
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

58515.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

d_1=4.7\times 10^{10} m

v_i=9.5\times 10^4 m/s

d_2=6\times 10^{12} m

We have to find the speed (vf).

Work done by surrounding particles=W=0 Therefore, initial energy is equal to final energy.

K_i+U_i=K_f+U_f

\frac{1}{2}mv^2_i-\frac{GmM}{d_1}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2_f-\frac{GmM}{d_2}

\frac{1}{2}v^2_i-\frac{GM}{d_1}+\frac{GM}{d_2}=\frac{1}{2}v^2_f

v^2_f=2(\frac{1}{2}v^2_i-\frac{GM}{d_1}+\frac{GM}{d_2})

v_f=\sqrt{2(\frac{1}{2}v^2_i-\frac{GM}{d_1}+\frac{GM}{d_2})}

Using the formula

v_f=\sqrt{v^2_i+2GM(\frac{1}{d_2}-\frac{1}{d_1})}

v_f=\sqrt{(9.5\times 10^4)^2+2\times 6.7\times 10^{-11}\times 1.98\times 10^{30}(\frac{1}{6\times 10^{12}}-\frac{1}{4.7\times 10^{10})}

Where mass of sun=M=1.98\times 10^{30} kg

G=6.7\times 10^{-11}

v_f=58515.9 m/s

A zone reconnaissance involves a directed effort to obtain detailed information on all routes, obstacles, terrain, enemy forces,
son4ous [18]

Answer:

It is True

Explanation:.

A  commander assigns a zone reconnaissance mission when he seeks additional information on a zone before committing other forces in the zone. It is appropriate when the enemy situation is vague,  existing knowledge of the terrain is limited, or combat operations have altered the terrain. A zone  reconnaissance could include several route or area reconnaissance missions assigned to subordinate units.

Distinguish between an energy transfer and an energy transformation in the following situation: A heat lamp warms a baby zebra.
Musya8 [376]

Energy transfer is when a energy transfers from a body/object to another.

Energy transformation is when energy is transformed into another form.

There is an energy transfer from the heat lamp to the baby zebra.
