Answer:
The kinetic energy is: 50[J]
Explanation:
The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore
PE = [J]
The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.
In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.
When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of
This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore
Ke= 50 [J]
Answer:
a) a = 3.72 m / s², b) a = -18.75 m / s²
Explanation:
a) Let's use kinematics to find the acceleration before the collision
v = v₀ + at
as part of rest the v₀ = 0
a = v / t
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
v = 115 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s)
v = 31.94 m / s
v₂ = 60 km / h = 16.66 m / s
l
et's calculate
a = 31.94 / 8.58
a = 3.72 m / s²
b) For the operational average during the collision let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum
I = Δp
F Δt = m v_f - m v₀
F =
F = m [16.66 - 31.94] / 0.815
F = m (-18.75)
Having the force let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
-18.75 m = m a
a = -18.75 m / s²
