A book is sitting on a shelf that is 3.0 meters off the ground. Kinetic energy is found using the formula 1/2 times mass times s

peed. Potential energy is found by taking mass times g times height, with g as the constant, 9.8 m/s squared. What is needed to determine the mechanical energy used to move this book?

The only thing in either one of those formulas that we don't know is the mass of the book.

Answer:

a)   v_average = 11 m / s, b)  t = 0.0627 s

, c)    F = 7.37 10⁵ N

, d)   F / W = 35.8

Explanation:

a) truck speed can be found with kinematics

         v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The fine speed zeroes them

           a = v₀² / 2x

           a = 22²/2 0.69

           a = 350.72 m / s²

The average speed is

           v_average = (v + v₀) / 2

           v_average = (22 + 0) / 2

           v_average = 11 m / s

b) The average time

          v = v₀ - a t

          t = v₀ / a

          t = 22 / 350.72

          t = 0.0627 s

c) The force can be found with Newton's second law

             F = m a

             F = 2100 350.72

             F = 7.37 10⁵ N

.d) the ratio of this force to weight

             F / W = 7.37 10⁵ / (2100 9.8)

             F / W = 35.8

.e) Several approaches will be made:

- the resistance of air and tires is neglected

- It is despised that the force is not constant in time

- Depreciation of materials deformation during the crash
