A 1.80 kg snowball is fired from a cliff 9.10 m high. The snowball's initial velocity is 17.4 m/s, directed 44.0° above the hori

zontal. (a) How much work is done on the snowball by the gravitational force during its flight to the flat ground below the cliff? (b) What is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the snowball-Earth system during the flight? (c) If that gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the height of the cliff, what is its value when the snowball reaches the ground?

Answer:

a) The work done is 160.52 J

b) The change in the gravitational potential energy on the snowball is -160.52 J

c) The gravitational potential energy that is taken to be zero at the height of the cliff is -160.52 J

Explanation:

Given:

m = 1.8 kg

h = 9.1 m

vi = 17.4 m/s

θ = 44°

a) The work done on the snowball is:

W_{g} =Fdcos\theta =mghcos\theta

Here θ = 0 because they are in the same direction

W_{g} =1.8*9.8*9.1*cos0=160.52J

b) The change in the gravitational potential energy on the snowball is:

ΔU = -Wg = -160.52 J

c) The gravitational potential energy that is taken is:

U_{g} =-mgh=-1.8*9.8*9.1=-160.52J

Two waiters are trying to get through a single door of a kitchen. One pushes on one side of a door 0.567 m from the hinge with a
NISA [10]

Answer:

275.5 N

Explanation:

F_{1} = Force on one side of the door by first waiter = 257 N

F_{2} = Force on other side of the door by second waiter

r_{1} = distance of first force by first waiter from hinge = 0.567 m

r_{2} = distance of second force by second waiter from hinge = 0.529 m

Since the door does not move. hence the door is in equilibrium

Using equilibrium of torque by force applied by each waiter

r_{1} F_{1} = r_{2} F_{2} \\(0.567) (257) = (0.529) F_{2}\\F_{2} = 275.5 N
