A ball is launched with initial speed v from the ground level up a frictionless hill. the hill becomes steeper as the ball slide

s up; however, the ball remains in contact with the hill at all times. using conservation of energy, find the maximum vertical height hmax to which the ball will climb. express your answer in terms of v and g.

The ball will rise to a maximum height of \boxed{h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}}.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy associated with the body by virtue of its motion whereas the potential energy of the body is the amount of energy stored in a body by virtue of its position.

The amount of kinetic energy stored in a body is given by:

\boxed{K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}                                                ...... (1)

Here, K is the kinetic energy, m is the mass and v is the speed of the body.

The potential energy stored in a body as it reaches its maximum height is given as:

\boxed{P=mgh}                                                      ...... (2)

Here, P is the potential energy stored, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height attained by the body.

According to the conservation of energy, the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another.

\text{kinetic energy}=\text{potential energy}

Substitute the values of kinetic energy and potential energy and simplify the expression for the maximum height.

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{1}{2}mv^{2}=&mgh_{max}\\h_{max}=&\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the maximum height attained by the ball as it rises up is \boxed{h_{max}=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}}.

<span>if we take ball then the Kinetic Energy of the ball is ½mV² as it rolls up the slope, the Kinetic Energy is converted to potential energy, PE = mgh. mgh = ½mV² h = V²/2g</span>

An object begins with a speed of 20 meters per second and slows down to a speed of 10 meters per second over a time of 5 seconds
Andreyy89

Answer:

V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of an object is 20 m/s

Final speed of an object is 10 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the average speed of the object during these 5 seconds. Let it is equal to V. Here, time is same. The average speed is given by :

V=\dfrac{x+y}{2}\\\\\text{Putting values}\\\\V=\dfrac{20+10}{5}\\\\V=6\ m/s

So, the average speed of the object is 6 m/s.

1 watt = 1 joule per sec

11,000 Watts = 11,000 joules per sec

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. What is the automobile's acceleration? (Reme
slava [35]

Answer:

Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 24 m/s

Final velocity = 15 m/s

Time = 12 seconds

To find the acceleration of the automobile;

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac {final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac{15 - 24}{12}

Acceleration = \frac{-9}{12}

Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²

Therefore, the automobile is decelerating because its final velocity is lesser than its initial velocity, leading to a negative value.
