1 (KE, PE) An object of mass 90 lbm is projected straight upward from the surface of the earth and reaches a height of 900 ft wh

en its velocity reaches zero. The only force acting on the object is the force of gravity. The acceleraton of gravity is g = 32.2 ft/s2 . Determine the initial kinetic energy of the object [ft·lbf], and the object’s initial velocity [ft/s].

Answer:

Initial kinetic energy will be 2608200 lbf-ft

Initial speed will be 240.7488 m/sec                

Explanation:

We have given height h = 900 ft

Mass of the object m = 90 lbm

Acceleration due to gravity g=32.2ft/sec^2

Initial kinetic energy will be equal to potential energy of the object

So kinetic energy = potential energy = mgh =90\times 32.2\times 900=2608200\ lbf-ft

This energy is also equal to the initial kinetic energy

So \frac{1}{2}mv^2=2608200

v=240.7488m/sec

So initial velocity will be 240.7488 m/sec

A ball that has a mechanical energy of 65 J has 12 J of kinetic energy. The ball has
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The ball has a potential energy of 53 J.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy, E = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

E = K.E + P.E

65 = 12 + P.E

P.E = 65 – 12

P.E = 53 J

Therefore the potential energy of the ball is 53 J

tatuchka [14]
It's gravitational potential energy at the top will roughly equal it's kinetic energy when it was released (a little is lost to air resistance).  Note this will assume the release point is zero potential energy.  (we are free to define it that way, just letting you know).  Gravitational potential energy is mgh.
mgh=25J
h=25J/(0.5kg x 9.81m/s^2) = 5.097m
So it goes about 5.1 meters above the point where it was released
