Answer:

a)  ΔE = 25 %

b) v = 8,85 m/s

c) The energy was used against air resistance

Explanation:

In any situation total energy of a body is equal to potential energy plus

kinetic energy, then, just at the moment when Isaac dop the ball the situation is:

Ei = Ep + Ek         where     Ep = m*g*h    and  Ek = 1/2*m*v²

As v = 0  (Isaac drops the ball)

Ei = Ep  =  m*g*h    = 2*m*g

At the end (when the ball bounced to 1,5 m

E₂ = Ep₂  + Ek₂         again at that point  v =0 and

E₂ = 1,5*m*g*

Ei =  E₂ + E(lost)

E(lost) = Ei - E₂

E(lost) = 2*m*g* - 1,5*m*g      and the fraction of energy lost is

E(lost)/Ei

ΔE = (2*m*g* - 1,5*m*g )/ 2*m*g

ΔE = 0,5*m*g / 2*m*g

ΔE = 0,5/2

ΔE = 0,25      or     ΔE = 25 %

b) The speed of the ball is

Potential energy is converted in kinetic energy just when the ball is touching the ground, then

m*g*h = 1/2*m*v²

2*h*g = 1/2 *v²

v² = 4*g*h

v² = 4*2*9,8

v² = 78,4

v = 8,85 m/s

If the impact is an elastic collision, then Ek before and after the impact is the same.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

F = ma , a = F/m

a1 = F/10 and a2 = F/4

Since Force is constant, a2 will we greater than a1

Suppose a yo-yo has a center shaft that has a 0.230 cm radius and that its string is being pulled.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Part a)

\alpha = 782.6 rad/s^2

Part B)

\omega = 587 rad/s

Part c)

a_t = 24.3 m/s^2

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that

a = R \alpha

so we will have

a = 1.80 m/s^2

R = 0.230 cm

\alpha = \frac{a}{R}

\alpha = \frac{1.80}{0.230 \times 10^{-2}}

\alpha = 782.6 rad/s^2

Part B)

Angular speed of the yo-yo

\omega = \alpha t

so we have

\omega = 782.6 \times 0.750

\omega = 587 rad/s

Part c)

Tangential acceleration is given as

a_t = R \alpha

a_t = (3.10 \times 10^{-2})(782.6)

a_t = 24.3 m/s^2
