Answer:
a) 19.4 m/s
b) 19 m/s
Explanation:
a) In the given question,
the potential energy at the initial point = Ui = 0
the potential energy at the final point = Uf = mgh
the kinetic energy at the initial point = Ki = 1/2 mv₀².
the kinetic energy at the final point = Kf = 0
work done by air= Ea= fh = 0.262 N
Now, using the law of conservation of energy
initial energy= final energy
Ki +Ui = Kf + Uf +Ea
1/2 mv₀² + 0 = 0 + mgh + fh
1/2 mv₀² = mgh + fh
h = v₀²/ 2g (1 +f/w)
calculate m
m= w/g = 5.29 /9.8
= 0.54 kg
h = 20 ²/ (2 x9.80) x (1 0.265/5.29)
h = 19.4 m.
b) 1/2 mv² + 2fh = 1/2 mv₀²
Vg = 19 m/s
