Answer:

a) The initial total mechanical energy of the projectile is 498556.296 joules.

b) The work done on the projectile by air friction is 125960.4 joules.

c) The speed of the projectile immediately before it hits the ground is approximately 82.475 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) The system Earth-projectile is represented by the Principle of Energy Conservation, the initial total mechanical energy (E) of the project is equal to the sum of gravitational potential energy (U_{g}) and translational kinetic energy (K), all measured in joules:

E = U_{g} + K (Eq. 1)

We expand this expression by using the definitions of gravitational potential energy and translational kinetic energy:

E = m\cdot g\cdot y + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v^{2} (Eq. 1b)

Where:

m - Mass of the projectile, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

y - Initial height of the projectile above ground, measured in meters.

v - Initial speed of the projectile, measured in meters per second.

If we know that m = 54\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, y = 132\,m and v = 126\,\frac{m}{s}, the initial mechanical energy of the earth-projectile system is:

E = (54\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (132\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (54\,kg)\cdot \left(126\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}

E = 498556.296\,J

The initial total mechanical energy of the projectile is 498556.296 joules.

b) According to this statement, air friction diminishes the total mechanical energy of the projectile by the Work-Energy Theorem. That is:

W_{loss} = E_{o}-E_{1} (Eq. 2)

Where:

E_{o} - Initial total mechanical energy, measured in joules.

E_{1} - FInal total mechanical energy, measured in joules.

W_{loss} - Work losses due to air friction, measured in joules.

We expand this expression by using the definitions of gravitational potential energy and translational kinetic energy:

W_{loss} = E_{o}-K_{1}-U_{g,1}

W_{loss} = E_{o} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2}-m\cdot g\cdot y_{1} (Eq. 2b)

Where:

m - Mass of the projectile, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

y_{1} - Maximum height of the projectile above ground, measured in meters.

v_{1} - Current speed of the projectile, measured in meters per second.

If we know that E_{o} = 498556.296\,J, m = 54\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, y_{1} = 297\,m and v_{1} = 89.3\,\frac{m}{s}, the work losses due to air friction are:

W_{loss} = 498556.296\,J -\frac{1}{2}\cdot (54\,kg)\cdot \left(89.3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2} -(54\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (297\,m)

W_{loss} = 125960.4\,J

The work done on the projectile by air friction is 125960.4 joules.

c) From the Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem, we construct the following model to calculate speed of the projectile before it hits the ground:

E_{1} = U_{g,2}+K_{2}+1.5\cdot W_{loss} (Eq. 3)

K_{2} = E_{1}-U_{g,2}-1.5\cdot W_{loss}

Where:

E_{1} - Total mechanical energy of the projectile at maximum height, measured in joules.

U_{g,2} - Potential gravitational energy of the projectile, measured in joules.

K_{2} - Kinetic energy of the projectile, measured in joules.

W_{loss} - Work losses due to air friction during the upward movement, measured in joules.

We expand this expression by using the definitions of gravitational potential energy and translational kinetic energy:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} = E_{1}-m\cdot g\cdot y_{2}-1.5\cdot W_{loss} (Eq. 3b)

m\cdot v_{2}^{2} = 2\cdot E_{1}-2\cdot m \cdot g \cdot y_{2}-3\cdot W_{loss}

v_{2}^{2} = 2\cdot \frac{E_{1}}{m}-2\cdot g\cdot y_{2}-3\cdot \frac{W_{loss}}{m}

v_{2} = \sqrt{2\cdot \frac{E_{1}}{m}-2\cdot g\cdot y_{2}-3\cdot \frac{W_{loss}}{m}  }

If we know that E_{1} = 372595.896\,J, m = 54\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, y_{2} =0\,m and W_{loss} = 125960.4\,J, the final speed of the projectile is:

v_{2} =\sqrt{2\cdot \left(\frac{372595.896\,J}{54\,kg}\right)-2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0\,m)-3\cdot \left(\frac{125960.4\,J}{54\,kg}\right)  }

v_{2} \approx 82.475\,\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the projectile immediately before it hits the ground is approximately 82.475 meters per second.

We know, velocity is speed with direction, so if direction is changing, velocity can't be constant, doesn't matter that speed is constant.

A mother and her 35.0 -kg child are riding an escalator to the third level of a shopping mall. If the child's gravitational pote
notka56 [123]

The increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

The potential energy increases by 3773 J

PE₂-PE₁=mg(h₂-h₁)

3773 J = 35.0 × 9.81 × (h₂-h₁)

(h₂-h₁) = 10.98

Case 2 ;

ΔPE =?

ΔPE=mg(h₂-h₁)

ΔPE=56.0 × 9.81 ×10.98

ΔPE=6031.97 J.

Hence, the increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.
