Answer:

2849.98 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the boy = change Potential energy of the boy + change in kinetic energy of the boy

W = ΔP + ΔK..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done by the boy, ΔP = change in potential energy of the boy, ΔK = Change in kinetic energy of the boy.

But,

ΔP = mgΔh.................... Equation 2

ΔK = 1/2mΔv²................. Equation 3

Where m = mass of the boy, Δh = change in height of the boy, Δv = change in velocity of the boy.

Substitute equation 2 and 3 into equation 1

W = mgΔh+1/2mΔv²................. Equation 4

Given: m = 72 kg, Δh = 1.61 m, Δv = 8.5-1.6 = 6.9 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 72(9.8)(1.61)+1/2(72)(6.9²)

W = 1136.016+1713.96

W = 2849.98 J

On the Moon the acceleration due to gravity is about one sixth that on Earth. If a golfer on the Moon imparted the same initial
swat32

Explanation:

We know that that the range of the ball on the earth

R_{earth}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{earth}}

therefore, range of the ball on moon

R_{moon}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{moon}}

R_{moon}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{earth}/12}

therefore,

R_{moon}=6R_{earth}

Therefore, the range of ball will be 6 times on the moon than that on earth
