Answer:
(a)0.0675 J
(b)0.0675 J
(c)0.0675 J
(d)0.0675 J
(e)-0.0675 J
(f)0.459 m
Explanation:
15g = 0.015 kg
(a) Kinetic energy as it leaves the hand
(b) By the law of energy conservation, the work done by gravitational energy as it rises to its peak is the same as the kinetic energy as the ball leave the hand, which is 0.0675 J
(c) The change in potential energy would also be the same as 0.0675J in accordance with conservation law of energy.
(d) The gravitational energy at peak point would also be the same as 0.0675J
(e) In this case as the reference point is reversed, we would have to negate the original potential energy. So the potential energy as the ball leaves hand is -0.0675J
(f) Since at the maximum height the ball has potential energy of 0.0675J. This means:
mgh = 0.0675
0.015*9.81h = 0.0675
h = 0.459 m
The ball would reach a maximum height of 0.459 m
Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134
Explanation:
Given that:
M = mass of person = 52 kg
m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg
U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s
u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s
After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.
a) According to law of momentum conservation:
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
MU + mu = (M + m)V
Substituting values:
The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s
b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
d = 30 m
Using the formula:
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134
