Part A
Free fall motion
h = 3.1 m
Equation: Vf = √(2gh) = √(2*9.8 m/s^2 * 3.1 m) = 7.8 m/s
That is the only part in the question.
Answer:
a) 23.51 m/s
b) 1.07 kg
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Kinetic energy, K = 295 J
Momentum, p = 25.1 kgm/s
a) The kinetic energy of a body is given as:
where m = mass of the body and v = speed of the body
We know that momentum is given as:
p = mv
Therefore:
K = 1/2 * pv
=> v = 2K / p
v = (2 * 295) / 25.1 = 23.51 m/s
The velocity of the body at that instant is 23.51 m/s.
b) Momentum is given as:
p = mv
=> m = p / v
m = 25.1 / 23.51 = 1.07 kg
The mass of the body at that instant is 1.07 kg
At the ground the ball will always have velocity along the direction of gravity. If upward motion is taken positive it will always have negative velocity at the ground because, if the ball was given an initial upward velocity then gravity will decelerate it and bring it down with a negative final velocity. If the ball is given an initial downward velocity then the ball will be further accelerated by gravity in the downward direction only, again maintaining negative direction. The magnitude however in both cases will be different. the final velocity at the ground will have higher magnitude in case of elevator moving downwards.
You may jump higher because the more the mass of the planet, the more gravitational force. There is less mass(and gravity) on Callisto so you wouldn’t be weighed down as much and can jump higher. Whereas on Jupiter there is more weight holding you down.
