Answer: the most potential energy == 5 kg book, 2 m from the ground= 98 Joules
Explanation:
potential energy = m g h
m = mass
g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = distance above ground
1. Pe₁ = 1 kg x 2 m x g = 2 g
2. Pe₂ = 5 kg x 2 m x g = 10 g = 10 kg m x 9,8 m/s² = 98 Joules
3. Pe₃ = 1 kg x 0,5 m x g = 0,5 g
4. Pe₄ = 5 kg x 0.5 m x g = 2,5 g
10 > 2,5 > 2 >0,5
Answer:
Taking gravity to be 9.8m/s2, The velocity is 24.5m/s2.
Taking gravity to be 10m/s2, The velocity is 25m/s2.
Explanation:
According the first formula of motion under the influence of gravity for upward motion, v=u-gt, where v=final velocity, u=initial velocity, and t= time taken.
Here the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum point is half of 5, which is 2.5 seconds.
And v is 0, since at the maximum point gravity slows down the velocity to 0.
Finding the initial velocity,
v=u-gt
0=u-10(2.5)
u=10(2.5)
u=25m/s
