Answer: 0.53m

Explanation:

According to the equation of motion v²= v₀²+2as

Since the body is launched upward, the final velocity at the maximum height will be "zero" since the body will momentarily be at rest at the maximum height i.e v = 0

Initial velocity given (v₀) = 3.25 m/s

The body is also under the influence of gravity but the acceleration due to gravity will be negative being an upward force (a = -g) and the distance (s) will serve as our maximum height (h)

The equation of motion will.now become

V = v₀² -2gh

Where v = 0 v₀ = 3.25m/s g = 10m/s h = ?

0 = 3.25² - 2(10)h

0 = 10.56 - 20h

-10.56 = -20h

h = 10.56/20

h = 0.53m

Therefore, the maximum height, h (in meters), above the launch point that the basketball will achieve is 0.53m

A weightlifter lifts a 13.0-kg barbel from the ground an moves it a distance of 1.3 meters. What is the work se does on the barb
marta [7]

The work done on the barbell is -165.62 Nm.

Explanation:

Work done on any object is the measure of force required to move that object from one position to another. So it is determined by the product of force acting on the object with the displacement of the object.

In the present problem, the displacement of the object on acting of force is given as 1.3 m. And the weight of the object which is a barbel is given as 13 kg. As the work is to lift the object from the ground, so the acceleration due to gravity will be acting on the object. In other words, the force applied on the object to lift it should be in opposite direction to the acting of acceleration due to gravity.

Thus, Force = - Mass * Acceleration due to gravity = - 13 * 9.8 =-127.4 N

Now, the force is -127.4 N and the displacement is 1.3 m.

So, Work done = F*d

Work done = -127.4* 1.3 = -165.62 Nm

So, the work done on the barbell is -165.62 Nm.

A 0.28-kg stone you throw rises 34.3 m in the air. The magnitude of the impulse the stone received from your hand while being th
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

7.3 kg m/s

Explanation:

First of all, let's calculate the gravitational potential energy of the stone as it reaches its highest point:

U=mgh=(0.28 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(34.3 m)=94.1 J

For the law of conservation of energy, this is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the stone at ground level (where the potential energy is zero), just after the stone leaves your hand:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=94.1 J

From this equation we can find the velocity of the stone as it leaves your hand:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(94.1 J)}{0.28 kg}}=25.9 m/s

The initial velocity of the stone (before leaving your hand) is zero:

u=0

The impulse received by the stone is equal to its change in momentum, so:

I=\Delta p=m\Delta v=m(v-u)=(0.28 kg)(25.9 m/s-0)=7.3 kg m/s

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

27 °C

Explanation:

BY the statement of the question it is clear that it is about an ideal gas - and hence if change in KE is about zero - then there will be no change of temperature.

So, answer is 27 °C
