Answer:
Point a
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object is given by :
P = mgh
m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height above ground level.
Potential energy is directly proportional to the position of an object.
In the attached figure, the maximum height is shown at point (a). It means it will have maximum potential energy at a as compared to b,c and d.
Answer:
The work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of Frisbee, m = 115 g = 0.115 kg
Initial speed of Frisbee, u = 12 m/s at a point 1 m above the ground
Final speed of Frisbee , v = 10.9674 m/s when it has reached a height of 2.00 m. Let W is the work done on the Frisbee by its weight. According to work energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. So,
So, the work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
