Answer:
The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
Potential Energy (U) is the energy of a body located at a certain height (h) above the ground and is calculated as follows:
U = m × g × h
U: Potential Energy in Joules (J)
m: mass in kg
g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
h: height in m
Equivalences
1 kg = 1000 g
1 ft = 0.3048 m
1 N = 1 (kg×m)/s²
1 J = N × m
Known data




Problem development
ΔU: Potential energy change
ΔU = U₂ - U₁
U₂ - U₁ = mₓgₓh₂ - mₓgₓh₁
U₂ - U₁ = mₓg(h₂ - h₁)

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J
Answer:
The correct answer is B)
Explanation:
When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel. So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.
The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as
= 2π r / T
Where
π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159
T is period of time
Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel
The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.
Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26
Vr = 12.1893692/2.26
Vr = 5.39352619469
Which is approximately 5.39

To find the horizontal distance multiple the horizontal velocity by the time. Since there is no given time it must be calculated using kinematic equation.
Y=Yo+Voyt+1/2at^2
0=.55+0+1/2(-9.8)t^2
-.55=-4.9t^2
sqrt(.55/4.9)=t
t=0.335 seconds
Horizontal distance
=0.335s*1.2m/s
=0.402 meters
