Sentences with phrase «initial kinetic energy»

So the extra energy absorbed by GHGs has all gone to increasing atmospheric height which has converted that initial kinetic energy to potential energy where it will remain until the atmosphere contracts again.

As a result, a ball colliding with a wooden bat, such as the replica of Babe Ruth's Louisville Slugger (below), loses more of its initial kinetic energy.

If m is 10 grams and M is 990 grams, the bullet loses more than 99 percent of its initial kinetic energy.

To further elucidate this point, let us calculate the ratio of the kinetic energy of the bullet and block system and the initial kinetic energy of the bullet: what is 1/2 (M + m) V2 divided by 1 / 2mv2?

Not exact matches

Three - dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of proto - cluster formation show that at least 50 % of the initial proto - cluster kinetic energy has to be rotational in order to obtain strong stellar - spin alignment within a cluster.
