The demolition ball, of mass 1.250 kg, is lifted by the crane to a point R at a height of 5,8 m above its lowest position in 60 s. Ignore air friction. 58 nf 5.1. Define the term power in words. (2) 5.2 Calculate the average power dissipated by the crane in lifting the demolition ball to point R. 3) The demolition ball is released from point R and strikes the wall at the lowest point of its swing. The ball then moves 0,25 m HORIZONTALLY into the wall before coming to rest. 5.3 Define the term conservative force. (2) 5.4 Is the force which the wall exerts on the ball a CONSERVATIVE or a NON-CONSERVATIVE force? (1) 5.5 State the energy conversion that takes place during the downward swing of the demolition ball. (1) 5.6 Using energy principles, calculate the magnitude of the average force exerted ‘on the ball while it moves into the wall (5) 14) Copyright reser Please tum over Powered by e CamScannerCopyright reserved Please turn over Physical Scionces/P1 10 DBE/2022 sons QUESTION 5 (Start on a new page.) Arrestor beds are used to help moving trucks to come to a stop when their brakes fail. The driver of a 30 000 kg truck driving down a steep road drives onto an ASCENDING arrestor bed inclined at 28° to the horizontal, as shown in the diagram below. ascending arrestor bed 5.1 State the work-energy theorem in words. (2) The truck with failed brakes passes point A at the beginning of the arrestor bed at a speed of 33 m:s"’. The average frictional force on the truck is 31 000 N while the truck moves up the arrestor bed. Ignore the rotational effects of the wheels. 5.2 Give a reason why the net work done on the truck, while moving on the arrestor bed, is negative. a) 5.3. Use ENERGY PRINCIPLES to calculate the minimum length of the arrestor bed needed to bring the truck to a stop. (5) The diagram below shows the same truck entering a DESCENDING arrestor bed inclined at 28° to the horizontal. The initial speed of the truck and the average frictional force on the truck are 33 m-s”' and 31 000 N respectively. descending arrestor bed 5.4 Which arrestor bed, ASCENDING or DESCENDING, will be able to stop the truck in a shorter distance?
