The decrease of PE for a freely falling object equals its gain in KE, in accord with the conservation of energy. By simple algeb

ra, find an equation for an object's speed v after falling a vertical distance h. Do this by equating KE to its change of PE.

Answer:

v =  \sqrt{20h}

Explanation:

The potential energy (PE) we are looking here is gravitational potential energy (GPE).

GPE= mgh,

where m is the mass of an object,

g is the gravitational field strength

h is the height of the object

KE= ½mv²,

where m is the mass and v is the velocity

loss in GPE= gain in KE

mgh= ½mv²

gh= ½v² (<em>divide by m throughout</em>)

Assuming that the object is on earth, then g= 10N/Kg

½v²= 10h (<em>substitute g=10</em>)

v²= 20h (<em>×2 on both sides</em>)

v= √20h (<em>square root both sides</em>)

A 10 g bullet moving horizontally with a speed of 2000 m/s strikes and passes through a 4.0 kg block moving with a speed of 4.2
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The answer is "512 J".

Explanation:

bullet mass m_1 = 10 g= 10^{-2} \ kg\\\\

initial speed u_1 = 2\ \frac{Km}{s}= 2000\ \frac{m}{s}\\\\

block mass m_2 = 4\ Kg

initial speed v_2 =-4.2 \frac{m}{s}

final speed v_2= 0

Let v_1 will be the bullet speed after collision:

throughout the consevation the linear moemuntum

\to M_1V_1+m_2v_2=M_1U_1+m_2u_2\\\\\to (10^{-2} kg) V_1 +0 = (10^{-2} kg)(2000 \frac{m}{s}) + (4 \ kg)(-4.2 \frac{m}{s}) \\\\\ \to 10^{-2} v_1 = 20 -16.8\\\\

                = 320 \frac{m}{s}

The kinetic energy of the bullet in its emerges from the block

k=\frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2

   =\frac{1}{2} \times 10^{-2} \times 320\\\\=512 \ J

a 230 kg roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 6.2 km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 81.619 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is m=230\ kg

It reaches the steepest hill with speed of u=6.2\ km/h\ or \ 1.72\ m/s

Hill to bottom is 51 m long with inclination of 45^{\circ}

Height of the hill is h=51\sin 45^{\circ}=36.06\ m

Conserving energy to get kinetic energy at bottom

Energy at top=Energy at bottom

\Rightarrow K_t+U_t=K_b+U_b\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=K_b+0\\\\\Rightarrow K_b=0.5\times 230\times 1.72^2+230\times 9.8\times 36.06\\\Rightarrow K_b=340.216+81,279.24\\\Rightarrow K_b=81,619.456\ J\\\Rightarrow K_b=81.619\ kJ
