Answer:

The K.E of the bowling ball right before it hits the ground, K.E = 2450 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the bowling ball, m = 10 kg

The height of the building, h = 25 m

The total mechanical energy of the body is given by,

E = P.E + K.E

At height 'h' the P.E is maximum and the K.E is zero,

According to the law of conservation of energy, the K.E at the ground before hitting the ground is equal to the P.E at 'h'

Therefore, P.E at 'h'

P.E = mgh

= 10 x 9.8 x 25

= 2450 J

Hence, the K.E of the bowling ball right before it hits the ground, K.E = 2450 J

A 2.0 kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The block’s initial speed is 10 m/s. What vert

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Vertical Height = 0.784 meter, Speed back at starting point = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

V is the overall velocity vector, $Vi$ and $Ui$ are its initial vertical and horizontal components

$R = 10 m/s\\ Projection Angle (theta) = 30 degrees\\Vi = 10*sin(30) = 5 m/s\\Ui = 10*cos(30) = 8.66 m/s$

To find:

Max Height $h$ achieved

Calculation:

1) Using the $3^{rd}$ equation of motion, we know

$2*a*s = Vf^{2} - Vi^{2}$

2) In terms of gravity $g$ height $h$ and the vertical component of Velocity $Vf , Vi$ .

3) As $Vf = 0$ as at maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero maximum height achieved

$2*g*h = Vf^{2} -Vi^{2}$

putting values

4) $h = 0.784 m/s$

5) As for the speed when it reaches back its starting point, it will have a speed similar to its launching speed, the reason being the absence of air friction (Air drag)

A ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 joules (with the poten

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

h = 20 m

Explanation:

given.

height, h = 10 m

Potential energy at 10 m = 50 J

Kinetic energy at 10 m = 50 J

maximum height the ball will reach, H = ?

Total energy of the system

T E = 50 J + 50 J

T E = 100 J

now,

A h = 10 m

P E = m g h

50 = m g x 10

mg = 5 ..............(1)

at the top most Point the only Potential energy will be acting on the body.

now, TE = Potential energy

100 = m g h

5 h = 100

h = 20 m

hence, the maximum height reached by the ball is equal to 20 m.

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object $m=2\ kg$

Speed of object $u=5\ m/s$

Mass of object at rest $M=3\ kg$

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s$

Initial kinetic energy

$k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J$

Final kinetic energy

$k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J$

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.
