- A baseball (radius = .0366 m, mass = .145 kg) is dropped from rest at the top of the Empire State Building (height = 1250 ft). Calculate (a) the initial potential energy of the baseball, (b) its final kinetic energy, and (c) the total energy dissipated by the falling baseball by com- puting the line integral of the force of air resistance along the baseball's total distance of fall. Compare this last result to the difference between the baseball's initial potential energy and its final kinetic energy. (Hint: In part (c) make approximations when evaluating the hyperbolic functions obtained in carrying out the line integral.) 2.9arrow_forwardDresden, Germany has a population of 700,000 and a population density of2200 km-2 in the urban area.
