Answer:
5.4 J.
Explanation:
Given,
mass of the object, m = 2 Kg
initial speed, u = 5 m/s
mass of another object,m' = 3 kg
initial speed of another orbit,u' = 2 m/s
KE lost after collusion = ?
Final velocity of the system
Using conservation of momentum
m u + m'u' = (m + m') V
2 x 5 + 3 x 2 = ( 2 + 3 )V
16 = 5 V
V = 3.2 m/s
Initial KE = 
= 
= 31 J
Final KE = 
Loss in KE = 31 J - 25.6 J = 5.4 J.
The height at time t is given by
h(t) = -4.91t² + 34.3t + 1
When the ball reaches maximum height, its derivative, h'(t) = 0.
That is,
-2(4.91)t+34.3 = 0
-9.82t + 34.3 = 0
t = 3.4929 s
Note that h''(t) = -9.82 (negative) which confirms that h will be maximum.
The maximum height is
hmax = -4.91(3.4929)² + 34.3(3.4929) + 1
= 60.903 m
Answer:
The ball attains maximum height in 3.5 s (nearest tenth).
The ball attains a maximum height of 60.9 m (nearest tenth)
