Explanation:
Work energy theorem states that the total work on a body is equal its change in kinetic energy, this is:
(1)
with W the total work, Ki the initial kinetic energy and Kf the final kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is defined as:
(2)
with m the mass and v the velocity.
Using (2) on (1):
(3)
In both cases the total work while the objects are in the air is the work gravity field does on them. Work is force times the displacement, so in our case is weight (w=mg) of the object times displacement (d):
(4)
Using (4) on (3):
(5)
That's the equation we're going to use on a) and b).
a) Because the branch started form rest initial velocity (vi) is equal zero, using this and solving (5) for final velocity:
b) In this case the final velocity of the boulder is instantly zero when it reaches its maximum height, another important thing to note is that in this case work is negative because weight is opposing boulder movement, so we should use -mgd:
Solving for initial velocity (when the boulder left the volcano):
Answer:
v = 0.059 m/s
Explanation:
To find the final speed of Olaf and the ball you use the conservation momentum law. The momentum of Olaf and the ball before catches the ball is the same of the momentum of Olaf and the ball after. Then, you have:
(1)
m: mass of the ball = 0.400kg
M: mass of Olaf = 75.0 kg
v1i: initial velocity of the ball = 11.3m/s
v2i: initial velocity of Olaf = 0m/s
v: final velocity of Olaf and the ball
You solve the equation (1) for v and replace the values of all variables:
Hence, after Olaf catches the ball, the velocity of Olaf and the ball is 0.059m/s
