Ummm I’m not sure let me do the work
Answer: The continuation and the last part of the question is (3) Determine the expression for E0 by substitution of r0 into the above equation for EN. What is the equation that represents the expression for E0?
Explanation:
The detailed steps and appropriate derivation and by differentiation is shown in the attachment.
The knowledge of differential calculus is applied.
Answer:
a) It is moving at
when reaches the ground.
b) It is moving at
when reaches the ground.
Explanation:
Work energy theorem states that the total work on a body is equal its change in kinetic energy, this is:
(1)
with W the total work, Ki the initial kinetic energy and Kf the final kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is defined as:
(2)
with m the mass and v the velocity.
Using (2) on (1):
(3)
In both cases the total work while the objects are in the air is the work gravity field does on them. Work is force times the displacement, so in our case is weight (w=mg) of the object times displacement (d):
(4)
Using (4) on (3):
(5)
That's the equation we're going to use on a) and b).
a) Because the branch started form rest initial velocity (vi) is equal zero, using this and solving (5) for final velocity:


b) In this case the final velocity of the boulder is instantly zero when it reaches its maximum height, another important thing to note is that in this case work is negative because weight is opposing boulder movement, so we should use -mgd:

Solving for initial velocity (when the boulder left the volcano):


so as this ant moves
5 cm every second you multiply 5 by 120 (60 per minute as there are 60 seconds in a minute)
this is 600 cm
or
6 meters
