In case A below, a 1 kg solid sphere is released from rest at point S. It rolls without slipping down the ramp shown, and is lau

nched vertically into the air at point T. In case B, a 1 kg block slides without friction down an identically shaped ramp and is also launched vertically at point T. Select the statement that best describes which object will go higher after launch, and why

Answer:

the block reaches higher than the sphere

\frac{y_{sphere}} {y_block} = 5/7

Explanation:

We are going to solve this interesting problem

A) in this case a sphere rolls on the ramp, let's find the speed of the center of mass at the exit of the ramp

Let's use the concept of conservation of energy

starting point. At the top of the ramp

         Em₀ = U = m g y₁

final point. At the exit of the ramp

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

notice that we include the translational and rotational energy, we assume that the height of the exit ramp is y₂

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         m g y₁ = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = w r

the moment of inertia of a sphere is

         I = \frac{2}{5} m r²

we substitute

         m g (y₁ - y₂) = ½ m v² + ½ (\frac{2}{5} m r²) (\frac{v}{r})²

         m g h = ½ m v² (1 + \frac{2}{5})

where h is the difference in height between the two sides of the ramp

h = y₂ -y₁

         mg h = \frac{7}{5} (\frac{1}{2} m v²)

         v = √5/7  √2gh

This is the exit velocity of the vertical movement of the sphere

         v_sphere = 0.845 √2gh

B) is the same case, but for a box without friction

   starting point

          Em₀ = U = mg y₁

   final point

          Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          Em₀ = Em_f

          mg y₁ = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          m g (y₁ -y₂) = ½ m v²

          v = √2gh

this is the speed of the box

          v_box = √2gh

to know which body reaches higher in the air we can use the kinematic relations

          v² = v₀² - 2 g y

at the highest point v = 0

           y = vo₀²/ 2g

for the sphere

           y_sphere = 5/7 2gh / 2g

           y_esfera = 5/7 h

for the block

           y_block = 2gh / 2g

            y_block = h

       

therefore the block reaches higher than the sphere

         \frac{y_{sphere}} {y_bolck} = 5/7

A weightlifter presses a 200 N weight 0.5 m over his head in 2 s. What is the power of the weightlifter
icang [17]

Answer:

50 watts

Explanation:

Applying,

Power (P) = Workdone (W)/Time(t)

But,

Work done (W) = Force (F)×distance(d)

Therefore,

P = Fd/t..................... Equation 1

Where P =  power of the weightlifter, F = Force applied, d = distance, t = time.

From the question,

Given: F = 200 N, d = 0.5 m, t = 2 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (200×0.5)/2

P = 100/2

P = 50 watts
