A student at another university repeats the experiment you did in lab. Her target ball is 0.860 m above the floor when it is in the target holder and the steel ball she uses has a mass of 0.0120 kg. She finds that the target ball travels a distance of 1.50 m after it is struck. Assume g = 9.80 m/s2. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of the target ball just after it is struck?

The of a machine determines its "usefulness." a. input force b. output force c. mechanical advantage

If 2 moles of co_2 at 2l and 500k are expanded reversibly to 20l, more work can be obtained from an adiabatic process than from an isothermal process. is the above statement true or false?

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?
