Answer:
a) quantity to be measured is the height to which the body rises
b) weighing the body , rule or fixed tape measure
c) Em₁ = m g h
d) deformation of the body or it is transformed into heat during the crash
Explanation:
In this exercise of falling and rebounding a body, we must know the speed of the body when it reaches the ground, which can be calculated using the conservation of energy, since the height where it was released is known.
a) What quantities must you know to calculate the energy after the bounce?
The quantity to be measured is the height to which the body rises, we assume negligible air resistance.
So let's use the conservation of energy
starting point. Soil
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
final point. Higher
Em_f = U = mg h
Em₀ = Em_f
Em₀ = m g h₀
b) to have the measurements, we begin by weighing the body and calculating its mass, the height was measured with a rule or fixed tape measure and seeing how far the body rises.
c) We use conservation of energy
starting point. Soil
Em₁ = K = ½ m v²
final point. Higher
Em_f = U = mg h
Em₁ = Em_f
Em₁ = m g h
d) to determine if the energy is conserved, the arrival energy and the output energy must be compared.
There are two possibilities.
* that have been equal therefore energy is conserved
* that have been different (most likely) therefore the energy of the rebound is less than the initial energy, it cannot be stored in the possible deformation of the body or it is transformed into heat during the crash
