Answer:
The potential energy (P.E) at the top is 392 J
The kinetic energy (K.E) at the top is 0 J
The potential energy (P.E) at the halfway point is 196 J.
The kinetic energy (K.E) at the halfway point is 196 J.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the rock, m = 2 kg
height of the cliff, h = 20 m
speed of the rock at the halfway point, v = 14 m/s
The potential energy (P.E) and kinetic energy (K.E) when its at the top;
P.E = mgh
P.E = (2)(9.8)(20)
P.E= 392 J
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
where;
v is velocity of the rock at the top of the cliff = 0
K.E = ¹/₂(2)(0)²
K.E = 0
The potential energy (P.E) and kinetic energy (K.E) at the halfway point;
P.E = mg(¹/₂h)
P.E = (2)(9.8)(¹/₂ x 20)
P.E = 196 J
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
where;
v is velocity of the rock at the halfway point = 14 m/s
K.E = ¹/₂(2)(14)²
K.E = 196 J.
Answer:
7) 
8) 
9) 
10) 
Explanation:
For the problems 7, 8 and 9 we just apply the definition of acceleration, since no more information is given, which is:
So for each problem we will have:
7) 
8) 
9) 
For the problem 10, we use the equation of velocity in accelerated motion:
Since the ball starts from rest and the acceleration is that of gravity (we take the downward direction positive), we have:
The correct answer would be C. three half lives.
