0.91 J
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its speed
For the lemming in this problem, when he jumps, we have:
m = 0.0780 kg is the mass
v = 4.84 m/s is the speed
Substituting into the equation, we find:
Answer:
28.8 meters
Explanation:
We must first determine at which velocity the ball hits the water. To do so we will:
1) Assume no air resistance.
2) Use the Law of conservation of mechanical energy: E=K+P
Where
E is the mechanical energy (which is constant)
K is the kinetic energy.
P is the potential energy.
With this we have
Where:
m is the balls's mass <- we will see that it cancels out and as such we don't need to know it.
v is the speed when it hits the water.
g is the gravitational constant (we will assume g=9.8.
h is the height from which the ball fell.
Because when we initially drop the ball, all its energy is potential (and ) and when it hits the water, all its energy is kinetic (
. And all that potential was converted to kinetic energy.
Now, from we can deduce that
Therefore v=9.6
Now, to answer how deep is the lake we just need to multiply that speed by the time it took the ball to reach the bottom.
So D=9.6*3
=28.8
Which is our answer.
