Answer:
Point a
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object is given by :
P = mgh
m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height above ground level.
Potential energy is directly proportional to the position of an object.
In the attached figure, the maximum height is shown at point (a). It means it will have maximum potential energy at a as compared to b,c and d.
1. -23.2 J
The gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by
where
m = 1.1 kg is the mass of the ball
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
h is the height of the ball, relative to the reference point chosen
In this part of the problem, the reference point is the ceiling. So, the ball is located 2.16 m below the ceiling: therefore, the heigth is
h = -2.16 m
And the gravitational potential energy is
2. 41.1 J
Again, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by
In this part of the problem, the reference point is the floor.
The height of the ball relative to the floor is equal to the height of the floor minus the length of the string:
h = 5.97 m - 2.16 m = 3.81 m
And so the gravitational potential energy of the ball relative to the floor is
3. 0 J
As before, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by
Here the reference point is a point at the same elevation of the ball.
This means that the heigth of the ball relative to that point is zero:
h = 0 m
And so the gravitational potential energy is
