A 2.0-kg projectile is fired with initial velocity components v0x = 30 m/s and v0y = 40 m/s from a point on the Earth's surface.

Neglect any effects due to air resistance.
a) What is the kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory?
b) How much work was done in firing the projectile?

(a) The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.

(b) The work done  in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the projectile at maximum height</h3>

The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv₀ₓ²

where;

  • m is mass of the projectile
  • v₀ₓ is the initial horizontal component of the velocity at maximum height

<u>Note:</u> At maximum height the final vertical velocity is zero and the final horizontal velocity is equal to the initial horizontal velocity.

K.E = (0.5)(2)(30²)

K.E = 900 J

<h3>Work done in firing the projectile</h3>

Based on the principle of conservation of energy, the work done in firing the projectile is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the projectile.

W = K.E(i) = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • v is the resultant velocity

v = √(30² + 40²)

v = 50 m/s

W = (0.5)(2)(50²)

W = 2,500 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.

The work done  in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

0.2289

Explanation:

Power required to climb= Fv where F is force and v is soeed. We know that F= mg hence Power, P= mgv and substituting 700 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 2.5 m/s for v then

P= 700*9.81*2.5=17167.5 W= 17.1675 kW

To express it as a fraction of 75 kw then 17.1675/75=0.2289 or 22.89%
