Chapter 6: Q6-14MCQ (page 138)

A ball is thrown straight up. Neglecting air resistance, which statement is not true regarding the energy of the ball?

  1. The potential energy decreases while the ball is going up.
  2. The kinetic energy decreases while the ball is going up.
  3. The sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy is constant.
  4. The potential energy decreases when the ball is coming down.
  5. The kinetic energy increases when the ball is coming down.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Option (a):The potential energy decreases while the ball is going up.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of kinetic energy

The energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion is known as kinetic energy.It is given by the formula:

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}\)

02

Definition of potential energy

The energy stored in an object by virtue of its position above the surface of the earth is known as potential energy.It is given by the formula:

\(PE = mgh\)

Here, g is the acceleration due to gravity and has a value of \(9.8\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\).

03

Analysis of the energy of the ball

Initially (near the ground), the kinetic energy of the ball is the maximum, and its potential energy is zero. When it is thrown straight up, the kinetic energy starts gradually decreasing while rising. After some time, during its fall, the potential energy decreases because the ball's height from the ground decreases. This potential energy starts to convert into kinetic energy, which increases on returning to the ground.

Thus, option (a) is incorrect.

The space shuttle launches an 850-kg satellite by ejecting it from the cargo bay. The ejection mechanism is activated and is in contact with the satellite for 4.8 s to give it a velocity of\(0.30\;{\rm{m/s}}\)in the x direction relative to the shuttle. The mass of the shuttle is 92,000 kg. (a) Determine the component of velocity\({v_{\rm{f}}}\)of the shuttle in the minus x direction resulting from the ejection. (b) Find the average force that the shuttle exerts on the satellite during the ejection.

A softball having a mass of 0.25 kg is pitched horizontally at 120 km/h. By the time it reaches the plate, it may have slowed by 10%. Neglecting gravity, estimate the average force of air resistance during a pitch. The distance between the plate and the pitcher is about 15 m.

If a car generates 18 hp when traveling at a steady what must be the average force exerted on the car due to friction and air resistance?

Consider a force \(F{\bf{ = 80}}\;{\bf{N}}\) applied to a beam as shown in Fig. 8鈥�37. The length of the beam is \(l{\bf{ = 5}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{m}}\) and \(\theta {\bf{ = 3}}{{\bf{7}}^{\bf{o}}}\), so that \(x{\bf{ = 3}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{m}}\) and \(y{\bf{ = 4}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{m}}\). Of the following expressions, which ones give the correct torque produced by the force around point P?

(a) 80 N.

(b) (80 N)(5.0 m).

(c) (80 N)(5.0 m)(sin 37掳).

(d) (80 N)(4.0 m).

(e) (80 N)(3.0 m).

(f) (48 N)(5.0 m).

(g) (48 N)(4.0 m)(sin 37掳).

FIGURE 8-37MisConceptual Question 5.

(II) A ski starts from rest and slides down a 28掳 incline 85 m long. (a) If the coefficient of friction is 0.090, what is the ski鈥檚 speed at the base of the incline? (b) If the snow is level at the foot of the incline and has the same coefficient of friction, how far will the ski travel along the level? Use energy methods.
