Answer:
Explanation:
His Kinetic energy = 1/2 m v^2
v = 5 m/s
m = 75 kg
Ke = 1/2 75 * 5^2
Ke = 937.5 Joules
This will be converted to PE when he reaches the maximum height he reaches. In other words KE = PE
PE = m * g * h
m = 75
g = 9.81
h = ?
PE = 937.5
937.5 = 75 * 9.81 * h
937.5 = 735.75 * h
937.5/735.75 = h
h= 1.27 meters
Answer:
same 0.81m
Explanation:
in this problem if we assume there no resistance of any sort. and we apply the energy conservation
change in Potential energy = change in kinetic energy
mgh = 0.5mv^2
gh = 0.5v^2
the above relation suggests that the speed at the bottom is only depending on the height it is released from not on the shape, mass or radius.
so at the bottom
put h = 0.81m
9.81 * 0.81 * 2 = v^2
v=3.99 m/s
both CYLINDER and SPHERE will have same velocity at the bottom if released from the same height irrespective of shape and size
Mercury has less mass than earth. So the answer is B
