Question

You throw a 0.2 kg ball at a 47degree angle with a speed of 35 m/s. Using an energy analysis find the maximum height the ball reaches relative to the release point. Don't use the kinematic equations, they're harder to use anyway. A cart of mass M = 3.5 kg is released from rest on a track that makes an angle 0 = 32Degree with the horizontal. The cart is connected to a hanging mass m=2.5 kg by a string wrapped over a pulley. The wheels are quite sticky and have effective coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.2. The cart travels a distance of 0.7 m down the track. Directly calculate the work done on M by all forces that act on M. By directly calculate I mean use the integral definition Having calculated all the individual works done by all the individual forces, verify that the work-kinetic energy theorem holds true.

Explanation / Answer

5)The velocity at maximum height=ux0=35Cos47=23.87m/s

Conserving energy between highest and lowest points.

0.5mu^2=mgh+0.5mux02

0.5*35^2=9.81*h+0.5*23.87^2

h=33.4m

1)Friction on M=uMgCos(theta)=0.2*3.5*9.81*Cos32=5.824N

For m,

mg-T=ma

2.5*9.8-T=2.5a

For M,

MgSin(theta)-uMgCos(theta)+T=Ma

3.5*9.81*Sin32-0.2*3.5*Cos32=3.5a

T=9.137N, a=6.145

Work by friction=-5.824*0.7=-4.08J

Work by Tension on M=9.137*0.7=6.40J

Work by tension on m=-9.137*0.7=-6.4J

Work by gravity on m=2.5*0.7*9.81=17.17J

Work by gravity on M=3.5*9.81*0.7Sin32=12.74N

Total work done on system=-4.08J+17.17J+12.74J=25.83 J

Final velocity=sqrt(2as)=sqrt(2*6.145*0.7)=2.933m/s

Kinetic energy=0.5*(2.5+3.5)*2,933^2=25.81J

Since all the work done on the blocks in converted into kinetic energy, the work- KE theorem holds.
