Answer:
Diagrammatic representation
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
Given the following :
Velocity (V) of ball = 5m/s
Radius = 1m
Can the ball reach the highest point of the circular track
of radius 1.0 m?
The highest point in the track could be considered as the diameter of the circle :
Radius = diameter / 2;
Diameter = (2 * Radius) = (2*1) = 2
Maximum height which the ball can reach :
Using the relation :
Kinetic Energy = Potential Energy
0.5mv^2 = mgh
0.5v^2 = gh
0.5(5^2) = 9.8h
0.5 * 25 = 9.8h
12.5 = 9.8h
h = 12.5 / 9.8
h = 1.2755
h = 1.26m
Therefore maximum height which can be reached is 1.26m.
Since h < Diameter
In space we feel weightlessness because the earths gravity has less effect on us.The Earths gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earths surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the the shuttles orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.
