You throw a basketball straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 5.6 m/s. The ball leaves your hand 1.2 meters above the ground. It moves upwards, stops, and then goes all the way down until it hits the ground (below the height you threw from).A. Use conservation of energy (and not the kinematics equations) to calculate the velocity of the ball the instant before it hits the ground.
A 2.46 kg block moves along a frictionless surface with a speed of 7.83 m/s when it encounters a rough shallow hill, whose sides have a length of l=5.21 m. The hill is low enough so that the block can make it over the hill. Because the surface of the hill is rough (shown in orange in the figure), the block experiences a frictional force of 2.23 N while on the hill. a) What is the speed of the block after it traverses the hill?
The potential energy of an interaction is given by U(x)=ax², where a = +6.4 J/m². Initial speed of a 0.79-kg object in this system is 2.63 m/s at x = 0. A. How far does the object travel before it reaches a speed of v = 0? Express your answer with the appropriate units. B.
