Chapter 6: Q49P (page 279)

You throw a ball straight up, and it reaches a height of20 mabove your hand before falling back down. What was the speed of the ball just after it left your hand?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the ball just after it left at the hand was 19.8 m/s .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed as follows,

The height of the ball above the hand before falling back down is, h=20 m

02

Expression for the kinetic energy and the potential energy

The expression for the kinetic energy is as follows,

K.E=12mv2

Here,m is the mass, andvis the speed.

The expression for the potential energy is as follows,

P.E=mgh

Here, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity with value 93.8m/s2, and his the height of the object.

03

Determination of the speed of the ball

The initial and final energy of the ball is being conserved, so, the expression is as follows,

Ei=Ef12mv2=mghv=2gh

Substitute all the values in the above expression.

v=29.8m/s220m=19.8m/s

Thus, the speed of the ball just after it left the hand was 19.8m/s

An electron has mass 9脳10-31kg. If the electron's speed is 0.988c.(that is,v/c=0.988), what is its particle energy? What is its rest energy? What is its kinetic energy?

Two protons are hurled straight at each other, each with a kinetic energy of 0.1MeV. You are asked to calculate the separation between the protons when they finally come to a stop. Write out the Energy Principle for this system, using the update form and including all relevant terms.

A boat is coasting toward a dock you're standing on, and as it comes toward you, you push back on it with a force of 300 N. As you do this, you back up a distance of 2m. How much work do you do on the boat?

This problem is closely related to the spectacular impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy with Jupiter in July 1994:

A rock far outside our solar system is initially moving very slowly relative to the Sun, in the plane of Jupiter鈥檚 orbit around the Sun. The rock falls towards the Sun, but on its way to the Sun it collides with Jupiter. Calculate the rock鈥檚 speed just before colliding with Jupiter. Explain your calculation and any approximations that you make.

Msun=2脳1030kg,MJuipter=2脳1027kg

Distance, Sun to Jupiter =8脳1011m

Radius of Jupiter1.4脳108m

An object with mass 100kg moved in outer space. When it was at location 9,-24,4its speed was 3.5m/s. A single constant

force 250,400,-170Wacted on the object while the object moved from location 9,-24,-4to location 15,-17,-8. Then a different single constant force 140,250,150N acted on the object while the object moved from location 15,-17,-8 to location 9,-24,-4. What is the speed of the object at this final location?
