Question
Figure shows six identical balls that are thrown off cliffs. All the cliffs are the same distance above the ground, and the ground below each cliff is level. The figures show the initial velocity of each ball. IGNORE AIR RESISTANCE
A= 0m/s
B= 5m/s straight up
C= 9m/s to the right
D= 5m/s straight down
E= 8m/s at a 45 degree angle to the right
F= 8m/s to the right
Rank the balls from largest to smallest, based of their potential/kinetic/mechanical energy
Rank the balls from largest to smallest, based on their speed just before they hit the ground
Explanation / Answer
a) A>E=F>B=c>A
b)D=B>E>F=C=A
