It is 10.20 m from the ground.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Given:</u>
m = 0.5 kg
PE = 50 J
We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:
where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.
PE is the Potential Energy.
Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.
Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get
50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h
50 = 4.9 × h
h = 10.20 m
Answer:
3.258 m/s
Explanation:
k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)
x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)
= Coefficient of friction = 0.4
Energy stored in spring is given by
As the energy in the system is conserved we have
The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s
Answer:
Kinetic energy is 1425.11 J.
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the wrench is,
Height of fall is,
Force of resistance is,
Now, the total energy at the top is equal to the potential energy of the wrench at the top since the kinetic energy at the top is 0.
Now, potential energy at the top is given as:
Now, the potential energy at the top is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and some energy is wasted in overcoming the resistance force by air.
Potential Energy = Kinetic energy + Energy to overcome resistance.
⇒ Kinetic energy = Potential Energy - Energy to overcome resistance.
Energy to overcome resistance force is the work done by the wrench against the resistance force and is given as:
Therefore, Kinetic energy at the bottom is given as:
Hence, the kinetic energy of the wrench be when it hits the water is 1425.11 J.
