Assuming that all energy of the small ball is transferred to the bigger ball upon impact, then we can say that:

Potential Energy of the small ball = Kinetic Energy of the bigger ball

Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height

Since the small ball start at 45 cm, then the height covered during the swinging movement is only:

height = 50 cm – 45 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Calculating for Potential Energy, PE:

PE = 2 kg * 9.8 m / s^2 * 0.05 m = 0.98 J

Therefore, maximum kinetic energy of the bigger ball is:

<span>Max KE = PE = 0.98 J</span>

A 0.65 kg rock is projected from the edge of
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

180.45m

Explanation:

Given that

mass m= 0.65kg

let H be height of building

angle of projection =40°

initial velocity  v up = 10.5 sin 40 = 6.75 m/s

horizontal velocity u= 10.5 cos 40 = 8.04 m/s

horizontal distance x = 19.6

x=ut

x= u t =

x= 8.04 t

t=19.6/8.04  = 2.44 seconds

applying the formula

h = H + Vt -1/2gt^2

0 = H + 6.75 * 2.44 - 4.9 * 2.44^2

solving for H we have

0=H + 6.75 * 2.44 - 4.9 * 5.9536

0=H + 6.75 * 2.44 - 29.17264

0=H + 6.75 *-26.73264

0=H -180.44532

H=180.45m

QUESTION 20
Kobotan [32]

a) 0.4 m/s^2

We can find the acceleration of the box by using the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the box in the problem,

s = 16 m

t = 9 s

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{2s}{t^2}=\frac{2(16)}{9^2}=0.4 m/s^2

C) Tension force in the chain: 446 N

In order to find the normal force, we have to write the equation of the forces along the vertical direction.

We have 3 forces acting along this direction on the box:

- The normal force, N, upward

- The force of gravity, mg, downward (where m= mass of the box and g = acceleration of gravity)

- The vertical component of the tension of in the chain, T sin \theta, upward

So the equation of the forces along the vertical direction is

N+Tsin \theta - mg = 0 (1)

Along the horizontal direction, instead, we have the following equation:

T cos \theta - \mu N = ma (2)

where

T cos \theta is the horizontal component of the tension in the chain

\mu N is the frictional force

a is the acceleration

From (1) we write

N=mg-T sin \theta

And substituting into (2),

T cos \theta - \mu (mg-T sin \theta) = ma\\T cos \theta - \mu mg + \mu T sin \theta = ma\\T = \frac{ma+\mu mg}{cos \theta + \mu sin \theta}

And substituting:

m = 100 kg

\theta=25^{\circ}

\mu=0.46

a=0.4 m/s^2

g=9.8 m/s^2

We find the tension in the chain:

T = \frac{(100)(0.4)+(0.46)(100)(9.8)}{cos 25 + 0.46 sin 25}=446 N

B) Normal force: 792 N

We can now find the normal force by using again equation (1):

N+Tsin \theta - mg = 0

And substituting:

T = 446 N

m = 100 kg

\theta=25^{\circ}

g=9.8 m/s^2

We find:

N=mg-T sin \theta=(100)(9.8)-(446)(sin 25)=792 N
