Answer:

80 J

Explanation:

Ep = mgh

Ep = (4 kg) (10 m/s²) (2 m)

Ep = 80 J

A ball is suspended by a lightweight string, as shown in the figure above.
Irina18 [472]

<u>Answer </u>

A. 1 and 2

<u>Explanation </u>

At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.

At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.

The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.

P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.

From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.

This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.

You shoot an arrow into the air. Two seconds later (2.00 s) the arrow has gone straight upward to a height of 35.0 m above its l
sdas [7]

This question can be solved by using the equations of motion.

a) The initial speed of the arrow is was "9.81 m/s".

b) It took the arrow "1.13 s" to reach a height of 17.5 m.

a)

We will use the second equation of motion to find out the initial speed of the arrow.

h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\

where,

vi = initial speed = ?

h = height = 35 m

t = time interval = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

35\ m = (v_i)(2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(2\ s)^2\\\\v_i(2\ s)=19.62\ m\\\\v_i = \frac{19.62\ m}{2\ s}

<u>vi =  9.81 m/s</u>

b)

To find the time taken by the arrow to reach 17.5 m, we will use the second equation of motion again.

h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 17.5 m

vi = initial speed = 9.81 m/s

t = time = ?

Therefore,

17.5 = (9.81)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2\\4.905t^2+9.81t-17.5=0

solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we get:

t = -3.13 s (OR) t = 1.13 s

Since time can not have a negative value.

Therefore,

<u>t = 1.13 s</u>
