PLZ HELP IM REALLY CONFUSED a boy is playing catch with his friend. He throws the ball straight up. When it leaves his hand, the

ball (2kg) is traveling 10m/s. Whats the ball's kinetic energy just as it leaves the boy's hand? What is the potential energy of the ball when it reaches the highest point

Answer:

K.E = 100 J

Final P.E = 100 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of any object can be given by the following formula:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})mv^{2}

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy

m = mass of ball = 2 kg

v = speed of ball

Initially, v = 10 m/s. Therefore, the initial K.E is given as:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})(2\ kg)(10\ m/s)^{2}

<u>K.E = 100 J</u>

Now, at the highest point the K.E of the ball becomes zero. because the ball stops for a moment at the highest point and its velocity becomes zero. So, from Law of Conservation of energy:

Initial K.E + Initial P.E = Final K.E + Final P.E

Initial P.E is also zero due to zero height initially.

K.E + 0 = 0 + Final P.E

<u>Final P.E = 100 J</u>

A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit
inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses x_1 distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1

When speed doubles

\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2

divide 1 and 2

\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}

x_2=2x_1

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value

A ball is held at a height H above a floor. It is then released and falls to the floor. If air resistance can be ignored, which
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Straight line graph attached showing mechanical energy on x-axis and altitude y on y-axis

Explanation:

As mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy, the ball at a height H possesses potential energy= m.g.H

and Kinetic energy= 0.

But the sum of both energies is equal to m.g.H.

When the ball starts moving, the height starts to decrease and potential energy also decreases with decreasing y. On the other hand kinetic energy starts increasing with decreasing Y. But their sum remains constant i.e equal to mechanical energy. It remains same until the ball touches the ground. The graph attached shows height H or altitude y on x-axis and Mechanical Energy on y-axis. It shows a straight horizental line showing that mechanical energy remains same as y decreases.
