Question
Timmy is sat down in class, looking around the room. He notices a water bottle on a desk next to him and thinks to himself that since the water bottle is on the desk it must not have kinetic energy. Is he right yes, or no? Explain?

- The drawing shows a bowling ball suspended from the ceiling of a classroom by a strong cord. The ball is drawn away from its equilibrium position and released from rest at the tip of a student's nose. The student remains stationary. After one swing when the ball returns toward the student, will it hit the student's nose? O No, because air resistance will remove some of the ball's kinetic energy, so ball will reach slightly lower. O Yes, because after one swing it returns even higher than it started. O Impossible to determine without knowing the height of the student's nose.arrow_forwardA 72.0 kg swimmer jumps into the old swimming hole from a tree limb that is 3.75 m above the water. 1) Use energy conservation to find his speed just as he hits the water if he just holds his nose and drops in. Express your answer in meters per second. 2) Use energy conservation to find his speed just as he hits the water if he bravely jumps straight up (but just beyond the board!) at 2.20 m/s. Express your answer in meters per second. 3) Use energy conservation to find his speed just as he hits the water if he manages to jump downward at 2.20 m/s. Express your answer in meters per second.arrow_forwardIf an object is moving at certain speed, it will have Kinetic Energy. If the object's speed is tripled (increased by factor of 3), by what factor will its Kinetic Energy change? O It will decrease by a factor of 9. O It will stay the same. O It will increase by a factor of 3. O It will increase by a factor of 9.arrow_forward
- A 68.5-kg athlete leaps straight up into the air from a trampoline with an initial speed of 8.7 m/s. The goal of this problem is to find the maximum height she attains and her speed at half maximum height. (a) What are the interacting objects and how do they interact? (b) Select the height at which the athlete's speed is 8.7 m/s as y = 0. What is her kinetic energy at this point? What is the gravitational potential energy associated with the athlete? (c) What is her kinetic energy at maximum height? What is the gravitational potential energy associated with the athlete? (d) Write a general equation for energy conservation in this case and solve for the maximum height. Substitute and obtain a numerical answer. m (e) Write the general equation for energy conservation and solve for the velocity at half the maximum height. Substitute and obtain a numerical answer. m/sarrow_forwardJane and Jake are looking at what happens to body 1 of mass m and body 2 of mass 2m, initially at rest, when equal forces are applied separately to the two bodies. Jake says that equal forces applied for equal times do equal amounts of work on the two bodies. Jane says that the two forces do equal amounts of work only if the two bodies move equal distances in the direction of the forces. Which one, if either, is correct? O Jake, because the speed of body 1 is half the speed of body 2, but m¡v1= m2V2- O Jane, because work does not depend on mass, only on force times distance. O Jake, because all bodies travel equal distances when equal forces are applied for equal times. O Jane, because it takes the same time for all bodies to travel equal distances when equal forces are involved. O Neither, because we can't compare the amounts of work done on bodies of different mass.arrow_forwardA coffee filter of mass 1.5 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.7 m/s.

- You are meeting your friends at a 49er football game. You start near the top of the seating area (8.9 m above the field) and walk down the steps to where your friends are sitting (3.4 m above the field). Assume that your mass is 60 kg. What is the change in your gravitational potential energy as you walk down the steps? Give your answer in J and report your answer to 1 decimal place. Make sure you include the sign if that is important for your answer.arrow_forwardLet's now work through an example using conservation of energy. Let's say a small, rubber ball with a mass of 1.00 kg is launched straight up in the air from ground level by a toy compressed-air cannon. Assume that the cannon is small, so we'll consider the initial height of the ball to be zero when it leaves the cannon. The initial speed of the ball when leaves the cannon is 11.5 m/s. Our goal is to find the maximum height the ball reaches before it begins to fall. You may have solved similar type of problem when studying kinematics. But now, let's apply conservation of energy to this problem. If we assume, reasonably, that air resistance is minimal, then our ball-Earth system a closed system. That means the total energy of the system is constant, or E₁ = E₁, the final total energy is equal to the initial total energy. Since the initial potential energy and final kinetic energy are zero, our equation now becomes Epf = Eki We can then substitute the formula for kinetic energy, Ex=mv²,…arrow_forwardThe work required by Neymar to push a box of soccer balls on a horizontal, frictionless floor to accelerate it from a speed of zero to v is W1. The work required by Neymar to accelerate the box of soccer balls on the same floor, from v to 2v is W2.
