Answer:

1/9

Explanation:

Sorry, I don't know if this is right, but here is what I did. We are ignoring potential energy because we assume that the student is walking and biking on level ground. Power = W/T, W = Mechanical Energy, or just Kinetic for this case. So P_{w}=\frac{E_{w} }{T}, and P_{b} =\frac{E_{b} }{T}. Ew = \frac{1}{2} mv_{w}^{2}, and Eb =\frac{1}{2} m(3v_{w})^{2}. Put Ew over Eb. the 1/2's cancel, the m's cancel, and you are left with \frac{v_{w} ^{2} }{9v_{w}^{2} }. Finally, this simplifies after cutting out the vw^2's to 1/9.

Seema knows the mass of basketball. What other information is needed to find the balls potential energy
Lelu [443]

Answer: The height (position) of the ball and the acceleration due gravity

Explanation:

In this case we are taking about gravitational potential energy, which is the energy a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  In this sense, this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.  

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the gravitational potential energy U will be:  

U=mgh  

Where:

m is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity (assuming the ball is on the Earth surface)

h is the height (position) of the ball respect to a given point

Note the value of the gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height.

DedPeter [7]
<h2>Answer: at an angle \theta below the inclined plane. </h2>

If we draw the <u>Free Body Diagram</u> for this situation (figure attached), taking into account only the gravity force in this case, we will see the weight W of the block, which is directly proportional to the gravity acceleration g:  

W=m.g

This force is directed vertically at an angle \theta below the inclined plane, this means it has an X-component and a Y-component:

W=W_{X}+W_{Y}

W_{X}=m.g.cos(\theta)

W_{Y}=m.g.sin(\theta)

Therefore the correct option is c
