3. A 70 kg person climbs a 6 m ladder. How much work is required by the person?

Physics
1 answer:
Lina20 [59]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

4116J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the person  = 70kg

Height of the ladder  = 6m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

The work done by the person climbing is the same as the potential energy.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance;

So;

   Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Therefore;

    Potential energy  = 70 x 9.8 x 6   = 4116J

A basketball player is 4.22 m from
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball is the gravitational acceleration in the y axis.

A = (0, -9.8m/s^)

For the velocity we can integrate over time and get:

V(t) = (9.20m/s*cos(69°), -9.8m/s^2*t + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°))

for the position we can integrate it again over time, but this time we do not have any integration constant because the initial position of the ball will be (0,0)

P(t) = (9.20*cos(69°)*t, -4.9m/s^2*t^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*t)

now, the time at wich the horizontal displacement is 4.22 m will be:

4.22m = 9.20*cos(69°)*t

t = (4.22/ 9.20*cos(69°)) = 1.28s

Now we evaluate the y-position in this time:

h =  -4.9m/s^2*(1.28s)^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*1.28s = 2.96m

The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.
