Answer:
8) 709.8875 J
9) The object is at 7.24375 m from the ground
10) Kinetic energy increases as the object falls.
Explanation:
We use the expression for the displacement h(t) as a function of time of an object experiencing free fall:
h(t) = hi - (g/2) t^2
hi being the initial position of the object (10m) above ground, g the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t the time (in our case 0.75 seconds):
h(0.75) = 10 - 4/9 (0.75)^2 = 7.24375 m
This is the position of the 10 kg object after 0.75 seconds (answer for part 9)
Knowing this position we can calculate the potential energy of the object when it is at this height, using the formula:
U = m g h = 10kg * 9.8 (m/s^2) * 7.24375 m = 709.8875 J (answer for part 8)
Part 10)
the kinetic energy of the object increases as it gets closer to ground, since its velocity is increasing in magnitude because is being accelerated in its motion downwards.
It sounds like a special relativity question but I need more info for a total answer. But remember it's length in the lab frame is
L•sqrt(1-(v/c)^2) where L is the rest length, v is its velocity magnitude and c is the speed of light. Sqrt is the square root (I'm on a phone so I can't see the math equation editor)
