While leaning out a window that is 6.0 m above the ground, you drop a 0.60-kg basketball to a friend at ground level. Your frien

d catches the ball at a height of 1.6 m above the ground. Determine the following.(a) the amount of work done by the force of gravity on the ball.(b) the gravitational potential energy of the ball-earth system, relative to the ground when it is released.(c) the gravitational potential energy of the ball-earth system, relative to the ground when it is caught.

Answer:

a) W = 25.872 J

b) - 35.28 J

c) - 9.408

Explanation:

a) The amount of work done by the force of gravity on the ball = Change in potential energy between the two vertical points = - mg (H₂ - H₁)

F = - mg (gravity is acting downwards)

F = - 0.6 × 9.8 = - 5.88 N

(H₂ - H₁) = (1.6 - 6) = - 4.4 m

W = (-5.88)(-4.4) = 25.872 J

b) Gravitational-potential energy of the ball when it was released relative to the ground = (- mg) H₁ = (- 0.6 × 9.8) × 6 = - 35.28 J

c) Gravitational-potential energy of the ball when it is caught relative to the ground = (-mg)(H₂) = -0.6 × 9.8 × 1.6 = - 9.408 J

In this problem, you will answer several questions that will help you better understand the moment of inertia, its properties, a
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

a)  Total mass form, density and axis of rotation location are  True

b)   I = m r²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia is the inertia of the rotational movement is defined as

       I = ∫ r² dm

Where r is the distance from the pivot point and m the difference in body mass

In general, mass is expressed through density

        ρ = m / V

        dm = ρ dV

From these two equations we can see that the moment of inertia depends on mass, density and distance

Let's examine the statements, the moment of inertia depends on

- Linear speed       False

- Acceleration angular False

-  Total mass form True

-  density True

- axis of rotation location   True

b) we calculate the moment of inertia of a particle

For a particle the mass is at a point whereby the integral is immediate, where the moment of inertia is

          I = m r²

A ball is launched from ground level at 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above the
DedPeter [7]

(a) The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is given by

<em>y</em> = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

0 = <em>t</em> ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> )

<em>t</em> = 0   or   (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> = 0

The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.

(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 <em>g t</em>

<em>t</em> = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> ≈ 2.6 s

(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration <em>g</em>. So

0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) <em>y</em>

where <em>y</em> in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2<em>g</em>)

<em>y</em> ≈ 8.4 m
