No work was done to the car. All of your effort was spent pushing the ball.

You pushed it until its speed was 25 m/s. Its kinetic energy is then (1/2) (m) (v)2 = 50 x 625 = 31,250 joules.

That's the work that you put into the ball. The car is still just sitting there.

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity of the ball the instant before it hits the ground?

To calculate the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground, we can use the equation of motion: velocity = acceleration x time. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Given the time of 3.0 seconds, we can plug these values into the equation to find the velocity. Therefore, the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is 29.4 m/s.


You throw a ball straight up with a velocity of 40 meters per second What is the ball's velocity after 5 seconds?

it is 10 meters per second straight down


If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right what happends to the velocity?

The overall velocity would increase. The ball would then have a curved path with some velocity vector in the North South direction and some vector in the East West Direction


If a ball rolls off the edge of a table two meters above the floor and with an initial velocity of 20 meters per second what is the ball's acceleration and velocity just before it hits the ground?

The horizontal velocity has no bearing on the time it takes for the ball to fall to the floor and, ignoring the effects of air resistance, will not change throughout the ball's fall, so you know Vx. The vertical velocity right before impact is easily calculated using the standard formula: d - d0 = V0t + [1/2]at2. For this problem, let's assume the floor represents zero height, so the initial height, d0, is 2. Further, substitute -g for a and assume an initial vertical velocity of zero, which changes our equation to 0 - 2 = 0t - [1/2]gt2. Now, solve for t. That gives you the time it takes for the ball to hit the floor. If you divide the distance traveled by that time, you know the average vertical velocity of the ball. Double that, and you have the final vertical velocity! (Do you know why?) Now do the vector addition of the vertical velocity and the horizontal velocity. Remember, the vertical velocity is negative!


What is the average velocity of a baseball?

The average velocity of a baseball is very nearly zero. From the time it leaves the factory until the time its outer coat is ripped off and the ball is discarded, it spends almost all of the time in a box on a shelf, and only a very small part of the time in motion.

If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right it's velocity Will?

If you push a ball rolling in a straight line to the right, its velocity will change in the direction you pushed it, affecting its speed and direction of motion. The velocity will have a component in the direction you pushed it, as well as any remaining component from its original motion.


What is the velocity of a ball thrown upward at W ft sec?

The velocity of a ball thrown upward at W ft/sec will gradually decrease due to gravity until it reaches its highest point (at which the velocity will be 0 ft/sec). After reaching the peak, the ball will then start to fall back down, increasing in velocity until it reaches the ground.


What happens to the velocity of a ball that is rolling down a hill?

The velocity of a ball rolling down a hill will increase due to the acceleration caused by the pull of gravity. As the ball gains speed, its velocity will continue to increase until it reaches the bottom of the hill.


What is the velocity of a ball thrown upward at 16 feet and seconds?

The initial velocity of the ball is 16 feet per second when thrown upward. The velocity decreases as the ball travels upward due to gravity until it reaches its peak and starts to fall back down.


What moves faster a ball thrown down or a ball falling down?

A ball thrown down. The thrown ball will have a greater initial velocity and since they experience the same force of gravity, it will always be faster (until they both reach terminal velocity).


What does the second law of motion have to do with soccer?

If a player runs and dribble the ball he pushed and run with varying momentum velocity therefore in a specific time frame


What happens to the horizontal velocity of a ball after it rolls off a table?

The horizontal velocity will be equal to the translational velocity of the ball right before it falls off the table. ============================== When we do exercises that deal with the behavior of the ball after it leaves the edge of the table, we always ignore air resistance. When we do that, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant forever, or at least until the ball hits something.

What will drop faster a metal ball or a racket ball?

all objects accelerate to earth at 9.8 m/s/s until it reaches its terminal velocity.


How high can a ball go?

The maximum height of a thrown ball is dependent on the upward portion of the initial velocity. Air friction will slow it somewhat but gravity will cause it to lose most of its upward velocity. The velocity will decrease by 9.8 m/sec for each second of its upward motion, until it reaches zero. At that point, the ball is pulled back toward Earth.


What is the horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball?

The horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball is the velocity in the horizontal direction at the moment the ball is launched. It represents the speed and direction at which the ball is moving side-to-side.


Maria throws a ball straight up with an initial velocity of 10 m per s?

As the ball travels up, its velocity decreases until it reaches a maximum height and then starts to fall back down due to gravity. The initial velocity of the ball will determine how high it goes before falling back down.
