A cricket player throws a ball such that it travels 10 meters in 2 seconds at constant acceleration. Calculate the kinetic energy of the ball if it has a mass of 1kg.

This problem can be broken up into two steps:1) Finding the speed (velocity) of the ball2) Finding the kinetic energy.To find the speed we can use the equation shown: Speed= Distance/Time

Find the wavelength of a radio wave if the frequency is 11 x 10 ^6 Hz and the speed of radio waves in air is 3 x 10 ^8 m/s.

The key equation here is v = fL ( v is wave speed (m/s), f is frequency (Hz), L is wavelength (m)). We need to rearrange it to get L (the wavelength). To do this, we divide by f to get L = v/f. Frequency ...

A bomb of mass 34kg, at rest is detonated. The explosion splits the bomb into two pieces, one of mass 13kg, which is thrown to the left at a velocity of 28 m/s. What is the velocity of the second piece?

In a collision where no external forces act linear momentum is conserved.Convention: Right + left -0=-13x28 + 21xVV=17.33 kg m/s to the right

How do you calculate efficiency?

The efficiency is calculated using the equation:
((Total useful output energy)/(Total input energy)) *100
We are essentially trying to calculate what percentage of the input energy is converted...
