Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).
Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.
After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.
To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:
147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.
Explanation:
For each object, the initial potential energy is converted to rotational energy and translational energy:
PE = RE + KE
mgh = ½ Iω² + ½ mv²
For the marble (a solid sphere), I = ⅖ mr².
For the basketball (a hollow sphere), I = ⅔ mr².
For the manhole cover (a solid cylinder), I = ½ mr².
For the wedding ring (a hollow cylinder), I = mr².
If we say k is the coefficient in each case:
mgh = ½ (kmr²) ω² + ½ mv²
For rolling without slipping, ωr = v:
mgh = ½ kmv² + ½ mv²
gh = ½ kv² + ½ v²
2gh = (k + 1) v²
v² = 2gh / (k + 1)
The smaller the value of k, the higher the velocity. Therefore:
marble > manhole cover > basketball > wedding ring
The force tending to lift the load (vertical force) is equal to <u>22.5N.</u>
Why?
Since the boy is pulling a load (150N) with a string inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal, the total force will have two components (horizontal and vertical component), but we need to consider the given information about the tension of the string which is equal to 105N.
We can calculate the vertical force using the following formula:
Hence, we can see that <u>the force tending to lift the load</u> off the ground (vertical force) is equal to <u>22.5N.</u>
Have a nice day!
It depends on what that "certain amount" is.
