A ball is thrown up into the air with 100 j of kinetic energy, which is transformed to gravitational potential energy at the top

of its trajectory. The ball encounters some air resistance. What is its kinetic energy when it returns to its original height?.

The kinetic energy when it returns to its original height is 100 J

Solution:

The ball is thrown up with a Kinetic Energy K. E. = 0.5×m×v² = 100 J

Therefore the final height is given by

<u>u² = v² -2·g·s</u>

Where:

u = final velocity = 0

v = initial velocity

s = final height

Therefore v² = 2·g·s = 19.62·s

P.E = Potential Energy = m·g·s

Since v² = 2·g·s

Substituting the value of v² in the kinetic energy formula, we obtain

K. E. = 0.5×m×2·g·s = m·g·s = P.E. = 100 J

When the ball returns to the original height, we have

v² = u² + 2·g·s

Since u = 0 = initial velocity in this case we have

v² = 2·g·s and the Kinetic energy = 0.5·m·v²

Since m and s are the same then 0.5·m·v² = 100 J.

As the height of the ball increases the kinetic energy of the ball is converted into gravitational potential energy. This means that the kinetic energy of the bullet is reduced. When the ball reaches its maximum height, it momentarily comes to rest and the ball's kinetic energy is zero. When the ball hits the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.40 m and is filled with helium. Part A How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the sk

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The mass of the cargo is $M = 188.43 \ kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the spherical balloon is $r = 7.40 \ m$

The mass of the balloon is $m = 990\ kg$

The volume of the spherical balloon is mathematically represented as

$V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3$

substituting values

$V = \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 *(7.40)^3$

$V = 1697.6 \ m^3$

The total mass the balloon can lift is mathematically represented as

$m = V (\rho_h - \rho_a)$

where $\rho_h$ is the density of helium with a value of

$\rho_h = 0.179 \ kg /m^3$

and $\rho_a$ is the density of air with a value of

$\rho_ a = 1.29 \ kg / m^3$

substituting values

$m = 1697.6 ( 1.29 - 0.179)$

$m = 1886.0 \ kg$

Now the mass of the cargo is mathematically evaluated as

$M = 1886.0 - 1697.6$

$M = 188.43 \ kg$

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a w

Luden [163]

Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter

$v_i = 5.10 m/s$

displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground

$d = -105 m$

acceleration is due to gravity

$a = -9.8 m/s^2$

now by kinematics

$y = v* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$-105 = 5.1 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2$

$4.9 t^2 - 5.1 t - 105 = 0$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 5.2 s$

so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground

A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 620 m and diameter 1.5 cm. As the gondola comes to th

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) 89 m/s

(b) 11000 N

Explanation:

Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.

(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

$v=\dfrac{2\times 620 \text{ m}}{14\text{ s}} = \dfrac{1240\text{ m}}{14\text{ s}}=88.571428\ldots \text{ m/s}= 89\text{ m/s}$

(b) The tension, $T$ , is given by

$v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

where $v$ is the speed, $T$ is the tension and $\mu$ is the mass per unit length.

Hence,

$T = \mu\cdot v^{2}$

To determine $\mu$ , we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

$\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}$

where $m$ is the mass and $V$ is the volume.

$m=\rho\cdot V$

If the length is denoted by $l$ , then

$\mu = \dfrac{m}{l} = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l}$

$T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l} v^{2}$

The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3

The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is

$V = \pi \dfrac{d^{2}}{4} l$

$T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2 l}{4l}v^2 = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2}{4}v^2$

$T = \dfrac{8050\times\pi\times0.015^2}{4} \times 88.57^2$

$T = 11159.4186\ldots \text{ N} = 11000 \text{ N}$
