According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell. 

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
   = 20 / (0.15 · 9.8) 
   = 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.

A helium-filled balloon is launched when the temperature at ground level is 27.8°c and the barometer reads 752 mmhg. if the ball
ololo11 [35]
The helium may be treated as an ideal gas, so that
(p*V)/T =constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume
T = temperature.

Note that
7.5006 x 10⁻³ mm Hg = 1 Pa
1 L = 10⁻³ m³

Given:
At ground level,
p₁ = 752 mm Hg
     = (752 mm Hg)/(7.5006 x 10⁻³ mm Hg/Pa)
     = 1.0026 x 10⁵ Pa
V₁ = 9.47 x 10⁴ L = (9.47 x 10⁴ L)*(10⁻³ m³/L)
     = 94.7 m³
T₁ = 27.8 °C = 27.8 + 273 K
     = 300.8 K

At 36 km height,
P₂ = 73 mm Hg = 73/7.5006 x 10⁻³ Pa
     = 9.7326 x 10³ Pa
T₂ = 235 K

If the volume at  36 km height is V₂, then
V₂ = (T₂/p₂)*(p₁/T₁)*V₁
     = (235/9.7326 x 10³)*(1.0026 x 10⁵/300.8)*94.7
     = 762.15 m³

Answer: 762.2 m³

erik [133]

Answer:

1 point is earned for stating that the conservation of energy should be applied to this situation.

1 point is earned for stating that the conservation of momentum should be applied to this situation.

Example Response:

Students will need to use both conservation of momentum (for the collision) and conservation of energy (for the slide down the ramp) to be able to determine the relationship between the release height of block X and the speed at which the two-block system travels after they collide and stick together.

Explanation:

Please say thank you.

1.48 Assume that the air volume in a small automobile tire is constant and equal to the volume between two concentric cylinders
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

a) 0.018 kg

b) 262 kPa

Explanation:

The volume of the concentric cylinders would be:

V = π/4 * h * (D^2 - d^2)

V = π/4 * 13 * (52^2 - 33^2) = 16500 cm^3 = 0.0165 m^3

The state equation of gases:

p * V = m * R * T

Rearranging:

m = (p * V) / (R * T)

R is 287 J/(kg * K) for air

25 C = 298 K

m0 = 202000 * 0.0165 / (287 * 298) = 0.039 kg

After pumping more air the volume remains about the same, but temperature and pressure change.

30 C = 303 K

m1 = 303000 * 0.0165 / (287 * 303) = 0.057 kg

The mass that was added is

m1 - m0 = 0.057 - 0.039 = 0.018 kg

If that air is cooled to 0 C

0 C  is 273 K

p = m * R * T / V

p = 0.057 * 278 * 273 / 0.0165 = 262000 Pa = 262 kPa
