Transcribed Image Text:4. A softball traveling at 34 m/s has a kinetic energy of 98 J. Calculate its mass.
5. A 1.0 kg ball is dropped from the top of a cliff and falls with a constant acceleration due to gravity (9.8
m/s). Assume that effects of air resistance can be ignored.
a) By how much has the ball's gravitational potential energy change after it has fallen by 10m?
b) How fast is the ball going after it has fallen by 10 m?

- Timmy (m=50kg) is at the top of a 7m tall hill. a. What type of energy does he have at the top of the hill? b. What is his potential energy? c. What type of energy does he have at the bottom of the hill? d. What is his speed at the bottom of the hill, after he slides down it? e. The hill has a river at the bottom, that causes two things. First is a vertical drop of 2m, second is a horizontal gap. What distance is the gap if Timmy makes the jump? Here you may also assume that at the bottom of the hill Timmy flies horizontally off.arrow_forwardI need help with these questionsarrow_forwardYou take a 13kg bag of lead pellets and drop it from 2m above the ground.a. How much gravitational potential energy does the bag have when held 2m above the ground?b. The bag is dropped. Just before it hits the ground, how much kinetic energy does it have?c. How fast is the bag moving just before it hits the ground?d. When it hits the ground, the kinetic energy will be transformed mostly into thermal energy. If 40%of this energy goes into the lead pellets as heat, what will be the increase in temperature of thelead? Assume led has a specific heat capacity of 160J/kg·K.arrow_forward
