Question

Suppose you are performing the downhill run ofthe experiment you did this week, what is the energy ratio(Ef/Ei) of a system on Ganymede that hasa final velocity of 996.9 cm/s, initial velocity of 8.8 m/s, and aheight of 0.0748 km. Assume that the gravity on Ganymede is1.428 m/s2.

i have no clue where to even start. Suppose you are performing the downhill run ofthe experiment you did this week, what is the energy ratio(Ef/Ei) of a system on Ganymede that hasa final velocity of 996.9 cm/s, initial velocity of 8.8 m/s, and aheight of 0.0748 km. Assume that the gravity on Ganymede is1.428 m/s2.

Explanation / Answer

   Initialspeed   vi   =   8.8   m/s    Finalspeed   vf   =   996.9   cm/s                               =   9.969   m/s    initialheight   h   =   0.0748   km                            =   74.8   m    finalheight   H   =   0    total energy   E   =   k.e.   +   p.e.                               =   (1/2)* m * v2   +   m * g *h)                               =   m* ( 0.5 * v2   +   g *h)    Initialenergy   Ei   =   m* ( 0.5 * 8.82   +   9.8 *74.8)                               =   771.75* m    Finalenergy   Ef   =   m* (0.5 * 9.9692   +   9.8* 0)                               =   49.69* m    requiredratio      Ef /Ei   =   49.69 * m /771.75 * m                                           =   0.0644
