E = mc²
E = 0.235 kg · (3×10⁸ m/s)² = 0.235 · 9×10¹⁶ kg·m/s²
E = 2.115×10¹⁶ J
The answer is d) 2.12×10¹⁶ J

a 1.5 kg ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 15 m/s. if the initial potential energy is taken as zero, fin

trapecia [35]

Answer:

a) $E_{p} = 0$

$E_{k} = 168.7 J$

$E_{m} = 168.7 J$

b) $E_{p} = 73.6 J$

$E_{k} = 95.8 J$

$E_{m} = 169.4 J$

c) $E_{p} = 169.2 J$

$E_{k} = 0$

$E_{m} = 169.2 J$

Explanation:

We have:

m: is the ball's mass = 1.5 kg

v₀: is the initial speed = 15 m/s

g: is the gravity acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

a) In the initial position we have:

h: is the height = 0

The potential energy is given by:

$E_{p} = mgh = 0$

The kinetic energy is:

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*1.5*(15)^{2} = 168.7 J$

And the mechanical energies:

$E_{m} = E_{p} + E_{k} = 0 + 168.7 J = 168.7 J$

b) At 5 m above the initial position we have:

h = 5 m

The potential energy is:

$E_{p} = mgh = 1.5*9.81*5 = 73.6 J$

Now, to find the kinetic energy we need to calculate the speed at 5 m:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} - 2gh = (15)^{2} - 2*9.81*5 = 126.9$

$v_{f} = \sqrt{126.9} = 11.3 m/s$

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*1.5*(11.3)^{2} = 95.8 J$

And the mechanical energies:

$E_{m} = E_{p} + E_{k} = 73.6 + 95.8 J = 169.4 J$

c) At its maximum height:

$v_{f}$ : is the final speed = 0

$h = \frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(15)^{2}}{2*9.81} = 11.5 m$

Now, the potential, kinetic and mechanical energies are:

$E_{p} = mgh = 1.5*9.81*11.5 = 169.2 J$

$E_{k} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = 0$

$E_{m} = 169.2 J + 0 = 169.2 J$

I hope it helps you!

How does speed relate to motion energy?

Murljashka [212]

the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
