Answer:
a) 24 J
b) Gravitational Force
c) 45 J
d) 0
e) 6.782m/s
Explanation:
a) m = 3kg
v = 4m/s
h = 1.5m
KE = ?
0.5 * 3 * 16 = 24J
b) Gravitational force
c) F = ma = 3 * 10 = 30N
Work done = Force * distance = 30 * 1.5 = 45J
d) Final Kinetic Energy of the ball is zero because the ball eventually stops moving
e) velocity of ball as it strikes the ground = v
where
v is the velocity as it strikes the ground
u is the initial velocity
a is acceleration
s is the distance
Now since the ball is thrown downwards, a is positive because the velocity of the ball is increasing as the gravitational force acts on it
u = 4m/s
a = 10
s = 1.5
=>
=
=
