Trying out for the big leagues, you throw a 149 gram baseball at a speed of 85.0 miles per hour. what is the ball's kinetic energy (j) ?

K.E=107.56J

Explanation:

Given data

v=85 miles/hour

convert it to meter per second we get

v=37.9984 meter/second

m (baseball mass)=149 gram

convert it to Kg we get

m=0.149 kg

K.E (Kinetic Energy)=?

Solution

the motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. a pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob ) attached by a string to a pivot point. as the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, moving back and forth in a periodic fashion.
