Question

Is mass is 88.2 and height of distance is 25m, how do you find speed?

Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity will be v = 22.1[m/s]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of energy conservation, where potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. For this problem we will take the point with maximum potential energy when the body is 25 [m] high. By the time the height is zero, the potential energy will have been transformed into kinetic energy, and we can find the velocity of the body.

$Ep = m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 88.2[kg]\\h = elevation = 25[m]\\g = gravity = 9.81 [m/s^2]\\Ep = 88.2*25*9.81 = 21631.05[J]$

Now we know that the energy will be transformed.

$Ek=Ep\\Ek=0.5*m*v^{2} \\where:\\v=velocity [m/s]\\v=\sqrt{\frac{Ek}{0.5*m} } \\v=\sqrt{\frac{21631.05}{0.5*88.2} } \\v=22.14[m/s]$
