The minimum initial velocity that the ball must have for it to reach the top of the hill is 21 m/s. The correct option is D.
<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>
The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.
M.E = KE +PE
A boy is trying to roll a bowling ball up a hill. The friction is ignored. The ball must have to reach the top of the hill with a velocity. The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The conservation of energy principle states that total mechanical energy remains conserved in all situations where there is no external force acting on the system.
M.E bottom of hill = M.E on top of hill
Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy
1/2 mu² + 0 = 0 + mgh
At the top of hill, the velocity will become zero. So, final kinetic energy is zero.
Substituting the values, we have
1/2 x u² = 9.8 x 22.5
u = sqrt [2 x9.8 x 22.5 ]
u= 21 m/s
Thus, the minimum initial velocity that the ball must have for it to reach the top of the hill is 21 m/s.

Answer:
The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.544
Solution:
As per the question:
Radius of the curve, R = 48 m
Speed of the car, v = 16 m/s
To calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction:
The centrifugal force on the box is in the outward direction and is given by:
where
= coefficient of static friction
The net force on the box is zero, since, the box is stationary and is given by:
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
initially mass is stretched to 
Let k be the spring Constant of spring
Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is 
Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy
it is given
thus
