A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5m above the water . It hits the water with a certain velocity and then s

ink with constant velocity in bottom . It reaches the bottom 5 second after it is dropped If g= 10m/s2 . Find depth of the lake and average velocity of the ball ?

1. Depth of the lake: 50 m

Explanation:

The first part of the problem can be solved by using conservation of energy.

When it is dropped, all the mechanical energy of the ball is potential energy, given by:

U=mgh

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height.

When the bal hits the water, all the mechanical energy has been converted into kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass and v is the speed. Equalizing the two terms, we have:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\2gh=v^2\\v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(10 m/s^2)(5 m)}=10 m/s

Then the ball travels in the water, keeping this constant velocity, for t=5 s. So, the total distance traveled underwater (which is the depth of the lake) is

d=vt=(10 m/s)(5 s)=50 m


2. Average velocity: 9.2 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity during the whole path of the ball is equal to the ratio between the total distance traveled and the total time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

We already know the total distance: 5 meters above the water and 50 m underwater, so

d = 5 m + 50 m = 55 m

For the total time, we need to calculate the time spent above the water, which is given by

S=\frac{1}{2}gt_a^2\\t_a = \sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5 m)}{10 m/s^2}}=1 s

So the total time is: 1 second above the water + 5 seconds underwater:

t = 1 s + 5 s = 6 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

v=\frac{55 m}{6 s}=9.2 m/s

Conduction is the movement of heat energy because of
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them. This then continues and passes the energy from the hot end down to the colder end of the substance.

What happens when an object is dropped?
katrin2010 [14]
When an object is dropped, tossed, or kicked, as long as it is not laying on the ground, it accelerates downward, because of the force of gravity acting on it.

Acceleration is a derived unit because it is derived from two quantities : Velocity and time.

We know, acceleration = Change in velocity/Time
