Isaac drops a rubber ball drom height of 2.0m and it bounces to a height of 1.5m. a) What fraction of it's initial energy is los

True [87]

Answer:

a) ΔE = 25 %

b) v = 8,85 m/s

c) The energy was used against air resistance

Explanation:

In any situation total energy of a body is equal to potential energy plus

kinetic energy, then, just at the moment when Isaac dop the ball the situation is:

Ei = Ep + Ek where Ep = m*g*h and Ek = 1/2*m*v²

As v = 0 (Isaac drops the ball)

Ei = Ep = m*g*h = 2*m*g

At the end (when the ball bounced to 1,5 m

E₂ = Ep₂ + Ek₂ again at that point v =0 and

E₂ = 1,5*m*g*

Ei = E₂ + E(lost)

E(lost) = Ei - E₂

E(lost) = 2*m*g* - 1,5*m*g and the fraction of energy lost is

E(lost)/Ei

ΔE = (2*m*g* - 1,5*m*g )/ 2*m*g

ΔE = 0,5*m*g / 2*m*g

ΔE = 0,5/2

ΔE = 0,25 or ΔE = 25 %

b) The speed of the ball is

Potential energy is converted in kinetic energy just when the ball is touching the ground, then

m*g*h = 1/2*m*v²

2*h*g = 1/2 *v²

v² = 4*g*h

v² = 4*2*9,8

v² = 78,4

v = 8,85 m/s

If the impact is an elastic collision, then Ek before and after the impact is the same.

What is the net force required to accelerate a 16 kg box at a rate or 1.4 m/s^2

stich3 [128]

You can use Newton's Second Law which states:
$\sum \vec{F} = m\vec{a}$

Plug in given information:
$\sum \vec{F}=16(1.4) = 22.4N$

This is closest to option b which is your answer.

How much power is needed to lift a 20-kg object to a height of 4.0 m in 2.5 seconds?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

313.92w

Explanation:

Formula for power:

P=W/∆t = Fv

Givens:

m=20kg

∆y=4.0m

∆t=2.5s

a=9.81m/s²

In order to find power, we first need to solve for work.

W=Fd (force*displacement), f=mg

W=mg∆y

W=(20kg)(9.81m/s²)(4.0m)

W=784.8J

P=W/∆t

P=784.8J/2.5s

P=313.92 watts
