suddenly changes its speed to 15m/s in 12 seconds.
a) What is the work done?
b) How long did it take for the average Power output to
be P 6,360 W
3. A ball is initially at a height of H above the ground. It
rolls down a frictionless slope with an initial speed of 12m/s.
The final speed of the ball when it is 3m above the ground is
20m/s. Calculate the initial height of the ball when released.
