Answer:
hmax = 1/2 · v²/g
Explanation:
Hi there!
Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.
KE = PE
Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.
The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:
KE = 1/2 · m · v²
Where:
m = mass of the ball
v = velocity.
The potential energy is calculated as follows:
PE = m · g · h
Where:
m = mass of the ball.
g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).
h = height.
At the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:
PE = KE
m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²
Solving for hmax:
hmax = 1/2 · v² / g
To calculate the velocity of the sound wave, we use this formula:
V = 331 + [0.6*T],
Where V is the velocity and T represents temperature.
When the temperature is 36 degree Celsius, we have
V = 331 + [0.6 * 36]
V = 331 + 21.6 = 352.6
Therefore, V = 352.6 m/s.
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) work done by gravitational force
= mg sinθ ( d + .21)
Potential energy stored in compressed spring
= 1/2 k x²
= .5 x 431 x ( .21 )²
= 9.5
According to conservation of energy
mg sinθ ( d + .21) = 9.5
3.2 x 9.8 x sin 30( d + .21 ) = 9.5
d = 40 cm
b )
As long as mg sin30 is greater than kx ( restoring force ) , there will be acceleration in the block.
mg sin30 = kx
3.2 x 9.8 x .5 = 431 x
x = 3.63 cm
When there is compression of 3.63 cm in the spring , block will have maximum velocity. there after its speed will start decreasing.
