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

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]
