Answer:

The initial velocity is 0.5114 m/s or 511.4 mm/s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be 'v'.

Given:

Mass of the ball (m) = 130 g = 0.130 kg   [ 1 g = 0.001 kg]

Initial height of the ball (h₁) = 1.4 mm = 0.0014 m   [ 1 mm = 0.001 m]

Final height of the ball (h₂) = 15 mm = 0.015 m

Now, from conservation of energy principle, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but converted from one form to another.

Here, the kinetic energy of the ball is converted to gravitational potential energy of the ball after reaching the final height.

Change in kinetic energy is given as:

\Delta KE=\frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2-v_i^2)\\Where\ v_f\to Final\ velocity\\v_i\to Initial\ velocity

As it just touches the 15 mm high roof, the final velocity will be zero. So,

v_f=0\ m/s.

Now, the change in kinetic energy is equal to:

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.130\times v^2\\\\\Delta KE = 0.065v^2

Change in gravitational potential energy = Final PE - Initial PE

So,

\Delta U=mg(h_f-h_i)\\\\\Delta U=0.130\times 9.8\times (0.015-0.0014)\\\\\Delta U=0.017\ J                    [ g = 9.8 m/s²]

Now, Change in KE = Change in PE

0.065v^2=0.017\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{0.017}{0.065}}\\\\v=0.5114\ m/s\\\\1\ m=1000\ mm\\\\So,0.5114\ m=511.4\ mm\\\\\therefore v=511.4\ mm/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 0.5114 m/s or 511.4 mm/s

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option a is correct  

If puck and pick constitute a system then the momentum of the system is conserved but not this may not be valid for the puck .

Option e is correct

If puck and pick is the system then momentum is conserved but because of the presence of friction, mechanical energy is not conserved.

Friction will cause the energy to dissipate in heat.
