r-ruslan [8.4K]

1) At the top of the building, the ball has more potential energy

2) When the ball is halfway through the fall, the potential energy and the kinetic energy are equal

3) Before hitting the ground, the ball has more kinetic energy

4) The potential energy at the top of the building is 784 J

5) The potential energy halfway through the fall is 392 J

6) The kinetic energy halfway through the fall is 392 J

7) The kinetic energy just before hitting the ground is 784 J

Explanation:

1)

The potential energy of an object is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height relative to the ground

While the kinetic energy is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the speed of the object

When the ball is sitting on the top of the building, we have

  • h=40 m, therefore the potential energy is not zero
  • v=0, since the ball is at rest, therefore the kinetic energy is zero

This means that the ball has more potential energy than kinetic energy.

2)

When the ball is halfway through the fall, the height is

h=20 m

So, half of its initial height. This also means that the potential energy is now half of the potential energy at the top (because potential energy is directly proportional to the height).

The total mechanical energy of the ball, which is conserved, is the sum of potential and kinetic energy:

E=PE+KE=const.

At the top of the building,

E=PE_{top}

While halfway through the fall,

PE_{half}=\frac{PE_{top}}{2}=\frac{E}{2}

And the mechanical energy is

E=PE_{half} + KE_{half} = \frac{PE_{top}}{2}+KE_{half}=\frac{E}{2}+KE_{half}

which means

KE_{half}=\frac{E}{2}

So, when the ball is halfway through the fall, the potential energy and the kinetic energy are equal, and they are both half of the total energy.

3)

Just before the ball hits the ground, the situation is the following:

  • The height of the ball relative to the ground is now zero: h=0. This means that the potential energy of the ball is zero: PE=0
  • The kinetic  energy, instead, is not zero: in fact, the ball has gained speed during the fall, so v\neq 0, and therefore the kinetic energy is not zero

Therefore, just before the ball hits the ground, it has more kinetic energy than potential energy.

4)

The potential energy of the ball as it sits on top of the building is given by

PE=mgh

where:

m = 2 kg is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 40 m is the height of the building, where the ball is located

Substituting the values, we find the potential energy of the ball at the top of the building:

PE=(2)(9.8)(40)=784 J

5)

The potential energy of the ball as it is halfway through the fall is given by

PE=mgh

where:

m = 2 kg is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 20 m is the height of the ball relative to the ground

Substituting the values, we find the potential energy of the ball halfway through the fall:

PE=(2)(9.8)(20)=392 J

6)

The kinetic energy of the ball halfway through the fall is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 2 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 19.8 m/s is the speed of the ball when it is halfway through the  fall

Substituting the values into the equation, we find the kinetic energy of the ball when it is halfway through the fall:

KE=\frac{1}{2}(2)(19.8)^2=392 J

We notice that halfway through the fall, half of the initial potential energy has converted into kinetic energy.

7)

The kinetic energy of the ball just before hitting the ground is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m = 2 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 28 m/s is the speed of the ball just before hitting the ground

Substituting the values into the equation, we find the kinetic energy of the ball just before hitting the ground:

KE=\frac{1}{2}(2)(28)^2=784 J

We notice that when the ball is about to hit the ground, all the potential energy has converted into kinetic energy.

Learning Goal: To be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Woke done, W = 4156.92 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by the force can be calculated as :

W=F\times s

W=Fs\ cos\theta

\theta is the angle between force and the displacement

It is assumed to find the work done for the given parameters i.e.

Force, F = 30 N

Distance travelled, s = 160 m

Angle between force and displacement, \theta=30

Work done is given by :

W=Fs\ cos\theta

W=30\times 160\ cos(30)

W = 4156.92 Joules

So, the work done by the object is 4156.92 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

How do you find acceleration due to gravity with time and height given?
Feliz [49]

Here, height is given which will be the distance for a freely falling object.

The velocity will be

v=\text{ }\frac{h}{t}

and the acceleration will be

a=\frac{v}{t}

In this way, the formula works.
