Answer:

B.

It will be greater than 10 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E = PE + KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, when there are no frictional forces on an object, its mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy PE is the energy due to the position of the object: the highest the object above the ground, the highest its PE.

The kinetic energy KE is the energy due to the motion of the object: the highest its speed, the largest its KE.

Here at the beginning, when it is at the top of the roof, the baseball has:

PE = 120 J

KE = 10 J

So the total energy is

E = 120 + 10 = 130 J

As the ball falls down, its potential energy decreases, since its height decreases; as a result, since the total energy must remain constant, its kinetic energy increases (as its speed increases).

Therefore, when the ball reaches the ground, its kinetic energy must be greater than 10 J.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The  coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu_k =  0.724

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  length of the lane is  l =  36.0 \  m

    The speed of the truck is  v  =  22.6\  m/s

     

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that  

    \Delta KE  =   N  *  \mu_k *  l

Here N  is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

     \Delta KE is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

        \Delta KE =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v^2

=>     \Delta KE =  0.5  *  m *  22.6^2

=>      \Delta KE =  255.38m

        255.38m =    m *  9.8  *  \mu_k *   36.0

=>     255.38  =    352.8  *  \mu_k

=>   \mu_k =  0.724

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different direc
Advocard [28]

Answer:

the direction that should be walked by Ricardo to go directly to Jane is 23.52 m, 24° east of south

Explanation:

given information:

Ricardo walks 27.0 m in a direction 60.0 ∘ west of north, thus

A= 27

Ax =  27 sin 60 = - 23.4

Ay = 27 cos 60 = 13.5

Jane walks 16.0 m in a direction 30.0 ∘ south of west, so

B = 16

Bx = 16 cos 30 = -13.9

By = 16  sin 30 = -8

the direction that should be walked by Ricardo to go directly to Jane

R = √A²+B² - (2ABcos60)

   = √27²+16² - (2(27)(16)(cos 60))

   = 23.52 m

now we can use the sines law to find the angle

tan θ = \frac{R_{y} }{R_{x} }

         = By - Ay/Bx -Ax

         = (-8 - 13.5)/(-13.9 - (-23.4))

     θ  = 90 - (-8 - 13.5)/(-13.9 - (-23.4))

         = 24° east of south

A ball of mass m is found to have a weight Wx on Planet X. Which of the following is a correct expression for the gravitational
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.
