Hi there!
To find the potential energy of the ball at B, we can use the equation:
PE = mgh
Plug the given gravity, mass, and height:
PE = (1.5)(0.5)(9.8) = 7.35 J
At A, all of this potential energy is changed to kinetic energy, so we can use the following equation:
v = √2KE/m
Plug in the solved for energy and mass:
v = √2(7.35)/1.5
Solve:
v ≈ 3.13 m/s
The velocity of the ball is 12.5 m/s
Explanation:
The velocity of the ball is given by the ratio between the distance covered by the ball and the time taken:
First, we calculate the distance covered. We know that the radius of the circle is
r = 0.450 m
And the length of the circumference is
The ball makes 25.0 revolutions, so a total distance of
In a time of
t = 9.37 s
So, its velocity is
