Answer:

No

Explanation:

Unless there are other external forces, this will never be true. Because according to energy conservation, potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy as the ball falls down (so it loses height and gain speed). And vice versa, kinetic to potential when it bounces back. So the potential energy after must be the same (or smaller if losing heat to external environment), so it can only get the the same height or less, but not more.

A rocket exhausts fuel with a velocity of 1500m/s, relative to the rocket. It starts from rest in outer space with fuel comprisi
babunello [35]

Answer:

v= 2413.5 m/s

Explanation:

maximum change of speed of rocket

=(initial exhaust velocity)×ln [(initialmass/finalmass)]

let initial mass= m

final mass = m-m(4/5) = m/5

[since the 80% of mass which is fuel is exhausted]

V-0 = 1500 ln (1/0.2)

V= 1500×1.609 = 2413.5 m/s

therefore, its exhaust speed v= 2413.5 m/s

An air-track cart with mass m1=0.28kg and initial speed v0=0.75m/s collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest ini
arsen [322]
Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,

   KE = 0.5mv²

At initial conditions,

  m₁:  KE = 0.5(0.28 kg)(0.75 m/s)² = 0.07875 J

  m₂ : KE = 0.5(0.45 kg)(0 m/s)² = 0 J

Due to the momentum balance,

   m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)(V)

Substituting the known values,

   (0.29 kg)(0.75 m/s) + (0.43 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(V)

   V = 0.2977 m/s

The kinetic energy is,
   KE = (0.5)(0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(0.2977 m/s)²
   KE = 0.03146 J

The difference between the kinetic energies is 0.0473 J.

A box of mass 5.0 kg is accelerated from rest by a force across a floor at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 for 7.0 s. find the net work done
Aleks04 [339]
W=Fd. Force is not given so we solve for it. F=ma, m=5kg, a=2m/s^2, F=10N. Distance is not given so we solve for it, x=.5a(t^2)=.5(2)(7x7)=49m. F=10N, d=49m, W=490J.

Assume that the particle has initial speed viviv_i. Find its final kinetic energy KfKfK_f in terms of viviv_i, MMM, FFF, and DDD
NeX [460]

Answer:

KE= 1/2mv²

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by virtue of the body in motion

Given the parameters

m which is the mass of the body

v which is the velocity of the body too

K.E = kinetic energy

The expression for the kinetic energy of a body is given as

KE= 1/2mv²

Tex, an 85.0 kilogram rodeo bull rider is thrown from the bull after a short ride. The 520. kilogram bull chases after Tex at 13
Julli [10]
The question above can be answered through using the concept of Conservation of Momentum which may be expressed as,
                 m1v1 + m2v2 = mTvT
where m1 and v1 are mass and initial velocity of Tex, 2s are that of the bull, and the Ts are the total. Then substituting,
                    (85 kg)(3 m/s) + (520 kg)(13 m/s) = (520 + 85)(vT)
The value of vT obtained from above equation is 11.6 m/s
