A golf ball with a mass of 46g is hit from the ground with a speed of 20m/s. It takes that ball 1 second to reach its highest point. For all parts assume that the air resistance is negligible. The system includes the golf stick, golf ball, and Earth. I created an energy bar chart attached below. The part where I'm getting stuck is figuring out what is doing the negative work. At first I thought it was the Earth but it can't be because it is part of the system. Then I started doubting my energy bar chart. The final Ug would be mgh so I did m=0.046(covert from g to kg), g=-10, and h=5(figured out using kinematics). The Ug would then be -2.3. But wouldn't it have to be positive 2.3 for energy to be conserved? But at the same time, how can it be positive; g is always negative? So please clear up this problem, I've been stressing on it too much.

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i.e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?

How do the measurements of charge at the different locations on the sphere compare to each other? the charge measurements are different at all locations on the sphere. the charge measurements are virtually not the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top and at the very bottom that are equal. the charge measurements are virtually the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top. at the top, the conductive sphere has a small disk that is made of different material. the charge measurements are the same at all locations on the sphere. what happens to the charge on the conductive sphere when it is connected to a source of charge such as the electrostatic voltage source? nothing will happen because no charge goes around the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out over the surface of the sphere; being greater in some specific locations on the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out uniformly over the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out non-uniformly over the surface of the sphere.
