Chapter 8.2, Problem 8.3QQ
Three identical balls are thrown from the top of a building, all with the same initial speed. As shown in Figure 8.3, the first is thrown horizontally, the second at some angle above the horizontal, and the third at some angle below the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, rank the speeds of the balls at the instant each hits the ground.

A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 1.2 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 35° with the vertical. Let U = 0 when the ball is at its lowest point (θ = 0).
Part A: Draw diagram and label coordinates.Â
Part B: What is the gravitational potential energy, in joules, of the ball before it is released?Â
Part C: What will be the speed of the ball, in meters per second, when it reaches the bottom?Â
Part D: Does replacing the ball by a steel sphere of mass 0.75kg at the end increase the maximum speed?
A roller coaster is moving at 13 m/s at the top of the first hill (h= 53 m). Â Ignoring friction and air resistance, how high will the roller coaster be when moving at 17 m/s on the top of the top of a subsequent hill?

Consider the free-fall motion of a bouncing ball. Assume that there is very little air
resistance. Let the floor be the zero point. For this activity we will predict how the energy
will change as the ball bounces from just leaving the floor, through one complete bounce
until It just hits the floor a second time.
Height and velocity of a single bounce

Question 1: Make a sketch of both position vs. time and velocity vs time for the ball from
just after it hits the floor for the first time, through one complete bounce until it hits the
floor a second time. Let the floor be the zero point. This will look similar to the pop-out
image above in Figure 2.
On your sketch, label the positions (a-e):
a. the ball has just left the floor and is on its way up
b. the ball is about halfway up
C. the ball is at the highest point of the bounce
d. the ball is about halfway back down
e. the ball is almost back down to the floor

- Suppose you lift a 25 kg box by a height of 1.0 m. How much work do you do in lifting the box? Instead of lifting the box straight up, suppose you push it up a 1.0 m high ramp that makes a 30 degree angle with the horizontal, as shown in (Figure 1). Being clever, you choose a ramp with no friction. How much force is required to push the box straight up the slope at a constant speed? How long is the ramp? Use your force and distance results to calculate the work you do in pushing the box up the ramp.arrow_forwardA roller coaster car is approaching the top of a hill with a speed of 7.1 m/s. The top of the hill is 24.7 m above the lowest point of the track below, which has a height of 0 m. What is the speed of the car when it reaches that lowest point?arrow_forwardPlease answer all 3 sub-parts. 1. A golfer has been known to tell some extraordinary stories. Explain if each situation is possible using conservation of energy. Assume friction/air resistance ARE present. a) They hit a ball in a completely flat field, and the ball followed a parabolic trajectory (like in projectile motion). They measured the ball speed at takeoff to be 91m/s. When the ball landed 145m away, they measured their ball speed on landing to be 94m/s. b) They hit the ball along the ground. When the ball left the club, it was moving at 2m/s. When the ball went in the hole, it was moving at only 0.9m/s. c) The golfer claims that hitting the ball with a club that is four times as massive at the same speed makes the ball go two times faster off the tee.arrow_forward
- The illustration below shows a ball on a curved track. The ball starts with zero velocity at the top of the track. It then rolls from the top of the track to the horizontal part at the ground. Ignoring friction, its velocity just at the moment it reaches the ground is 15 m/s. What is the height, h, from the ground to the top of the track? _marrow_forwardConsider the accompanying diagram. Ball A is allowed to fall and strike ball B. Assume that all of ball A's energy is transferred to ball B at point I and that there is no loss of energy to other sources. Calculate the kinetic energy and the potential energy of ball B at point II. For a falling object, the potential energy is given by PE = mgz, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s ), and z is the distance in meters. 1.90 kg 11.1 m II 3.00 kg 3.90 m B PE KEarrow_forwardA ball is vertically launched.

- A 2 kg toy car sits at the highest point of a 13 m high hill. The car is gently pushed forward until it begins to roll down the slope. Assuming the car coasts freely, without any friction or air resistance, how much kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) will it have at each of the indicated points? Complete the diagram by placing the correct label in each bin. Use g = 10 m/s? for the acceleration due to gravity. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

(Figure 1) The curve represents the value of potential energy U as a function of the particle's coordinate x. The horizontal line above the curve represents the constant value of the total energy of the particle E. The total energy E is the sum of kinetic (K) and potential (U)energies of the particle. What point on the graph corresponds to the maximum kinetic energy of the moving particle? At what point on the graph does the particle have the lowest speed?arrow_forwardFor a satellite in a circular orbit around the earth, the gravitational force from the earth on the satellite causes the centripetal acceleration. We've seen that work can sometimes be used to store energy as potential energy. Use what you know about *gravitational potential energy* to find the amount of work done by the gravitational force from the earth on the satellite. (Hint: Start by drawing a diagram.)
