Here in this case we can use work energy theorem
As per work energy theorem
Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic Energy of the object
Total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is ZERO initially as it is given at rest.
Final total kinetic energy is sum of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy
also we know that
Now kinetic energy is given by
Now by work energy theorem
Work done = 10500 - 0 = 10500 J
So in the above case work done on sphere is 10500 J
Answer:
Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):
After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:
Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:
Whereas stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:
In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.
Regards.
