Question

Note: The rope is 20 m long. Answer like this: (1. 2._____ etc)

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Potential energy, 2. Potential and kinetic energy, 3. Potential and kinetic energy, 4. Potential and kinetic energy, 5. Potential energy

Explanation:

We note that the total mechanical energy (M.E.) of the body is given as follows;

M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = Constant

Where;

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the body = (1/2)·m·v²

P.E. = The potential energy of the body = m·g·h

m = The mass of the person

v = The velocity with which the person is in motion

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the person above the ground

The length of the rope = 20 m

The initial height at location 1, h₁ = 40.0 m

At location 1, the velocity, v₁ = 0.00 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₁ + P.E.₁

∴  K.E.₁ = 0 and P.E.₁ = m ×9.81×40

M.E. = (1/2) ×m ×0² + m ×9.81×40

∴ M.E. = 0 + P.E.₁ the type of energy present at location 1 is only potential energy

At location 2, the velocity, v₂ = 10.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₂ + P.E.₂ = (1/2) ×m ×10² + m ×9.81×40

∴  K.E.₂ = 50·m and P.E.₂ = m ×9.81×35 = 343.35·m

M.E. = 50·m + 343.35·m the type of energy at location 2 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 3, the velocity, v₃ = 20.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₃ + P.E.₃ = (1/2) ×m ×20² + m ×9.81×20

∴  K.E.₃ = 200·m and P.E.₃ = m ×9.81×20 = 196.2·m

M.E. = 200·m + 196.2·m the type of energy at location 3 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 4, the velocity, v₄² = 350.0 m²/s², h₄ = 15.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₄ + P.E.₄ = (1/2) × m ×350 + m ×9.81×15

∴  K.E.₄ = 175·m and P.E.₄ = m×9.81×15 = 147.15·m

M.E. = 175·m + 147.15·m the type of energy at location 4 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 5, the velocity, v₅ = 0 m/s, h₅ = 10.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₅ + P.E.₅ = (1/2) × m × 0 + m ×9.81×10

∴  K.E.₅ = 0·m and P.E.₅ = m×98.1 = 98.1·m

M.E. = 0·m + 98.1·m the type of energy at location 5 is only potential energy, P.E.

Therefore, we have;
