Complete Question:
A basketball player tosses a basketball m=1kg straight up with an initial speed of v=7.5 m/s. He releases the ball at shoulder height h= 2.15m. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level
a) Give the total mechanical energy of the ball E in terms of maximum height hn it reaches, the mass m, and the gravitational acceleration g.
b) What is the height, hn in meters?
Answer:
a) Energy = mghₙ
b) Height, hₙ = 5.02 m
Explanation:
a) Total energy in terms of maximum height
Let maximum height be hₙ
At maximum height, velocity, V=0
Total mechanical energy , E = mgh + 1/2 mV^2
Since V=0 at maximum height, the total energy in terms of maximum height becomes
Energy = mghₙ
b) Height, hₙ in meters
mghₙ = mgh + 1/2 mV^2
mghₙ = m(gh + 1/2 V^2)
Divide both sides by mg
hₙ = h + 0.5 (V^2)/g
h = 2.15m
g = 9.8 m/s^2
V = 7.5 m/s
hₙ = 2.15 + 0.5(7.5^2)/9.8
hₙ = 2.15 + 2.87
hₙ = 5.02 m
Explanation:
(a) Hooke's law:
F = kx
7.50 N = k (0.0300 m)
k = 250 N/m
(b) Angular frequency:
ω = √(k/m)
ω = √((250 N/m) / (0.500 kg))
ω = 22.4 rad/s
Frequency:
f = ω / (2π)
f = 3.56 cycles/s
Period:
T = 1/f
T = 0.281 s
(c) EE = ½ kx²
EE = ½ (250 N/m) (0.0500 m)²
EE = 0.313 J
(d) A = 0.0500 m
(e) vmax = Aω
vmax = (0.0500 m) (22.4 rad/s)
vmax = 1.12 m/s
amax = Aω²
amax = (0.0500 m) (22.4 rad/s)²
amax = 25.0 m/s²
(f) x = A cos(ωt)
x = (0.0500 m) cos(22.4 rad/s × 0.500 s)
x = 0.00919 m
(g) v = dx/dt = -Aω sin(ωt)
v = -(0.0500 m) (22.4 rad/s) sin(22.4 rad/s × 0.500 s)
v = -1.10 m/s
a = dv/dt = -Aω² cos(ωt)
a = -(0.0500 m) (22.4 rad/s)² cos(22.4 rad/s × 0.500 s)
a = -4.59 m/s²
Constant acceleration of plane = 3m/s²
a) Speed of the plane after 4s
Acceleration = speed/time
3m/s² = speed/4s
S = 12m/s
The speed of the plane after 4s is 12m/s.
b) Flight point will be termed as the point the plane got initial speed, u, 20m/s
Find speed after 8s, v
a = 3m/s²
from,
a = <u>v</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>u</u>
t
3 = <u>v</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>0</u>
8
24 = v - 20
v = 44m/s
After 8s the plane would've 44m/s speed.
