The problem is missing some parts. But here are the questions and answers.

a.       Use the work-energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground 

Initial Kinetic Energy = GPE + KE

1/2 * m * V^2 = m * g * h + 1/2 * m * v^2

V^2 = 2 * 9.8 * 15.6 + 25.6^2

=sqrt 968.96

V (initial speed) ≈ 31.130 m/s

 

b.      Use the work-energy theorem to look for its maximum height. 

H = 968.96 / 2 * 9.8 ≈ 49.44 <span>m</span>

How would you calculate power if work is not done?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Explanation:

This how you do it..

Calculate Watt-hours Per Day. Device Wattage (watts) x Hours Used Per Day = Watt-hours (Wh) per Day. ...

Convert Watt-Hours to Kilowatts. Device Usage (Wh) / 1000 (Wh/kWh) = Device Usage in kWh. ...

Find Your Usage Over a Month.

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed (5.2 m/s) and grabs a vine hanging 4.5 m vertically from a tall tree in the ju
kumpel [21]
While Jane is running has a kinetic energy, which is Ek = 1/2*m*v^2 where m is mass and v is velocity  When she grabs a vine, she is going to change the kinetic energy to potential energy.  
We know that potential energy is given by Ep = m*g*h where m is mass, g is gravity constant and h is height  
So while running the kinetic energy is Ek = 1/2 * m * 5.2^2 = 13.52*m 
Then all that energy is used to swing upward and gain potential energy 
Ep = m*g*h = Ek = 13.52*m  
m*9.8*h = 13.52*m 
h = 13.52/9.8 = 1.38 meters  
So Jane will swing 1.38 meters upward
