Potential energy of a child at the top is 490 J.

Potential energy, U = mgh

U = potential energy

m = mass of an object, given = 25kg

g = acceleration due to gravity, given = 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$

h = height of an object, given = 2 meter

Put the values in potential energy formula, U = mgh

U = mgh

U = 25 × 9.8 × 2

U = 490 J

Hence, Potential energy of a child at the top is 490 J.

Potential energy is the type of energy, which is product of mass of an object, acceleration due to gravity and height of an object where it is placed. Its S.I. unit is joule and is represented by J.

The Moment of Inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

Let suppose that the Disk is a Rigid Body whose mass is uniformly distributed. The Moment of Inertia of the element is equal to the Moment of Inertia of the entire Disk minus the Moment of Inertia of the Hole, that is to say:

$I = I_{D} - I_{H}$ (1)

Where:

$I_{D}$ - Moment of inertia of the Disk.

$I_{H}$ - Moment of inertia of the Hole.

Then, this formula is expanded as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot R^{2} \right)$ (1b)

Dimensionally speaking, Mass is directly proportional to the square of the Radius, then we derive the following expression for the Mass removed by the Hole ( $m$ ):

$\frac{m}{M} = \frac{R^{2}}{4\cdot R^{2}}$

$m = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M$

And the resulting equation is:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot M \right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot R^{2} \right)$

$I = \frac{1}{2} \cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

$I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

The moment of inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />

According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.

Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is $9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.

Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:

If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at $9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
