According to the conservation of energy

  • Potential energy at any given instance is equal to the Kinetic energy as energy can neither be created nor be destroyed

Mass is 2kg=m

#A

h=5m

  • PE=mgh

PE

  • 2(9.8)(5)
  • 10(9.8)
  • 98J

Now

  • KE=98J
  • 1/2mv²=98J
  • 1/2×2v²=98J
  • v²=98J
  • v=√98
  • v=9.4m/s

#B

h=3.2m

PE:-

  • 2(3.2)(9.8)
  • 6.4(9.8)
  • 62.7J

Now

  • KE=62.7J
  • 1/2mv²=62.7
  • v²=62.7
  • v=√62.7
  • v=7.9m/s

#C

h=2m

PE

  • 2(2)(9.8)
  • 4(9.8)
  • 39.2J

Now

  • v²=39.2
  • v=√39.2
  • v=6.3m/s

Paul’s 10 kg baby sister Susan sits on a mat. Paul pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30° above the floo
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The speed of Susan is 2.37 m/s

Explanation:

To visualize better this problem, we need to draw a free body diagram.

the work is defined as:

W=F*d*cos(\theta)

here we have the work done by Paul and the friction force, so:

W_p=F_p*d*cos(0)\\F_p=30N*cos(30^o)=26N\\W_p=26*3*(1)=78J

W_f=F_f*d*cos(180)\\F_f=\µ*(10*9.8-30N*sin(30^o))=16.6N\\W_p=16.6*3*(-1)=50J

Now the change of energy is:

W_p-W_f=\frac{1}{2}m*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(78J-50J)}{10kg}}\\v=2.37m/s
