Rey lifts a 6,300 g metal ball from the ground to a height of 0.98 m close to his body. (a.) What is the ball's PE? Realizing the ball is heavy, he suddenly releases it with a push at a speed of 15 m/s. (b.) What is the ball's KE?

Respuesta :

A. The potential energy of ball is 61.74 J

B. The kinetic energy of the ball is 708.75 J

A. Determination of the potential energy of the ball.

We'll begin by converting the mass of the ball (i.e 6300 g) to kilograms (kg). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

6300 g = 6300 / 1000

6300 g = 6.3 Kg

Thus, 6300 g is equivalent to 6.3 Kg.

Finally, we shall determine the potential energy of the ball.

Mass (m) = 6.3 Kg

Height (h) = 0.98 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) =?

PE = mgh

PE = 6.3 × 10 × 0.98

PE = 61.74 J

Therefore the potential energy of the ball is 61.74 J

B. Determination of the kinetic energy of the ball.

Mass (m) = 6.3 Kg

Velocity (v) = 15 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 6.3 × 15²

KE = 3.15 × 225

KE = 708.75 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the ball is 708.75 J
