Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Answer:
the height reached is = 0.458 [m]
Explanation:
We need to make a sketch of the ball and see the location of the reference point where the potential energy is zero. But the kinetic energy will be defined by the following expression:
![Ek=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\where:Ek= kinetic energy [J]\\m = mass of the ball [kg]\\v = velocity of the ball [m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ek%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%2Am%2Av%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%5Cwhere%3AEk%3D%20kinetic%20energy%20%5BJ%5D%5C%5Cm%20%3D%20mass%20of%20the%20ball%20%5Bkg%5D%5C%5Cv%20%3D%20velocity%20of%20the%20ball%20%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
Replacing the values on the equation we have:
![Ek=\frac{1}{2}*(2)*(3^{2} )\\ Ek=9[J]\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ek%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%2A%282%29%2A%283%5E%7B2%7D%20%29%5C%5C%20Ek%3D9%5BJ%5D%5C%5C)
This kinetic energy will be transformed in potential energy in the moment when the ball starts to rolling up. Therefore the maximum height reached by the ball depends of the initial velocity given to the ball.
![Ek=Ep\\where\\Ep=potential energy [J]\\Ep=m*g*h\\where\\g=gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h=height reached [m]\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ek%3DEp%5C%5Cwhere%5C%5CEp%3Dpotential%20energy%20%5BJ%5D%5C%5CEp%3Dm%2Ag%2Ah%5C%5Cwhere%5C%5Cg%3Dgravity%20%3D%209.81%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D%5C%5Ch%3Dheight%20reached%20%5Bm%5D%5C%5C)
Now we have:
![h=\frac{Ep}{m*g} \\h=\frac{9}{2*9.81} \\\\h=0.45 [m]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h%3D%5Cfrac%7BEp%7D%7Bm%2Ag%7D%20%5C%5Ch%3D%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B2%2A9.81%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5Ch%3D0.45%20%5Bm%5D)
In that moment when the ball reach the 0.45 [m] the potencial energy will be maximum and equal to the kinetic energy when the ball has a velocity of 3[m/s]
'Pressure' is (force) / (area).
The only choice with those units is #1 .
