Dovator [93]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is more than 30 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Gains kinetic energy = 30 J

We need to calculate the gravitational potential energy

According to law of conservation of energy

If there is no air resistance then the potential energy of the ball fully converted into kinetic energy.

If the air resistance is considered then the potential energy used to do work against air resistance.

\Delta U\geq \Delta K.E

According to question,

A ball drops some distance and gains 30 J of kinetic energy and considers air resistance then 30 J of potential energy can be loosed by the ball.

Hence, The gravitational potential energy of the ball is more than 30 J.

What effect would this have on the momentum?
Mariana [72]
Momentum describes an object in motion and is determined by the product of two variables: mass and velocity. Mass -- the weight of an object -- is usually measured in kilograms or grams for momentum problems. Velocity is the measure of distance traveled over time and is normally reported in meters per second. Examining the possible changes in these two variables identifies the different effects momentum can have on an object in motion.

A 1.60 m tall person lifts a 2.10-kg book from the ground so it is 2.20 m above the ground. What is the potential energy of the
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of book(m)=2.1 kg

height up to which book is lifted is (h)2.2 m

height of person (h_0)1.6 m

Potential energy of book relative to ground=mgh

PE=2.1\times 9.8\times 2.2=45.276 J

(b)PE w.r.t to person head =mg(h-h0)

=2.1\times 9.8\times (2.2-1.6)=12.348 J

work done by person in lifting box 2.2 m w.r.t floor

Word done =Potential Energy of box relative to floor=45.2 J
