A metal sphere of mass 200g falls from a height of 5 m. Calculate velocity with which it will strike the ground.g=10m/s-2
Asked by khushdab | 23 Apr, 2020, 14:17: PM
m = 200 g = 0.2 kg
h = 5 m
a = g = 10 m/s2
u = 0 ( as it is going to fall from a rest position)
v =?
By third equation of motion, we know,
v2 - u2 = 2as
As the sphere is falling from height, equation becomes,
v2 - u2 = 2gh
v2 - 0 = 2 × 10× 5
v2 = 100
Thus,
v = 10 m/s
OR
There is one more way to solve this problem,
we have mass, height and acceleration due to gravity.
When the sphere is at height, potnetial energy stored in it is,
P.E. = mgh = 0.2 x 10 x 5 =10 J
When the sphere strikes the ground,
K.E. = 1/2 mv2
Thus, at ground K.E. = P.E.
10 = (1/2) x 0.2 x v2
Solving this,
v2 = 20/0.2 = 100
Thus,
v = 10 m/s
Hence, the velocity with which sphere will hit the ground is 10 m/s
