5. There is a bell at the top of a tower that is 45 m high. The bell weighs 190 N. The bell has ____________ energy. Calculate it.
Gravitational Potential Energy
PE = m.g.h
note: weight = m. g = 190 N
so put the weight directly to the equation below
PE = 190 N . 45 m
PE = 8,550 N.m
PE = 8,550 Joule
6. A roller coaster is at the top of a 72 m hill and weighs 966 N. The coaster (at this moment) has ____________ energy. Calculate it.
Gravitational Potential Energy
PE = m.g.h
note: weight = m. g = 966 N
so put the weight directly to the equation below
PE = 966 N . 72 m
PE = 69,552 N.m
PE = 69,552 Joule
7. What is the kinetic energy of a 3-kilogram ball that is rolling at 2 meters per second?
KE = 1/2 m v2
KE = 1/2 x 3 kg x (2 m/s)2
KE = 1/2 x 3 kg x 4 m2/s2
KE = 6 Joule
8. Object were lifted by a machine. One object had a mass of 2 kilograms if the Kinetic energy of the object was 1600 J. What was the velocity?
KE = 1/2 m v2
1,600 J = 1/2 x 2 kg x v2
v2 = EK /(1/2 x 2 kg)
v2 = 1,600 / 1
v = (1,600)1/2
v = 40 m/s
9. Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.
KE = 1/2 m v2
KE = 1/2 x 1000 kg x (20 m/s)2
KE = 1/2 x 1000 kg x 400 m2/s2
KE = 200,000 Joule
1. In the bouncing ball example above, find the height of the tenth rebound, and the distance traveled by the ball after it touches the ground the tenth time. Compare this distance with the total distance traveled.(Suppose a bouncing ball rises each time to 2/3 of the height of the previous bounce then it would represent the heights of successive bounces in yards if the ball is originally dropped from a height of 1 yd).
Answer: a. The height of the tenth rebound
1, 2/3 , 4/9, 8/27, ...
U1 = a = 1 (the originally height)
U2 = 2/3(the height of the first rebound)
U3 = 4/9(the height of the second rebound)
'
'
U11 = ? (the height of the eleventh rebound)
Un= a.rn-1
U11= 1.(2/3)11-1 U11= 1.(2/3)10 U11= 0.017 yd So, the height of the tenth rebound is 0.017 yd.
b. The distance traveled by the ball after it touches the ground the tenth time.
c. The total distance traveled.
2. Derive the formula (1.1) for the sum Sn of the geometric progression Sn = a+ar+ar2 + · · · + arn-1. Hint: Multiply Sn by r and subtract the result from Sn; then solve for Sn. Show that the geometric series converges if and only if |r| < 1; also show that if |r| < 1, the sum is given by equation (1.2).
Use equation (1.2) to find the fractions that are equivalent to the following repeating decimals: 3. 0.55555 · · · 4. 0.818181 · · · 5. 0.583333 · · · 6. 0.61111 · · · 7. 0.185185 · · · 8. 0.694444 · · · 9. 0.857142857142 · · · 10. 0.576923076923076923 · · · 11. 0.678571428571428571 · · ·
