DATA
TRIAL H h Re Ra % ERROR
1 41 20.5 35 41 14.63%
2 54 34 50 52.12 4.12%
3 42 31 38 36.93 2.90%
FORMULA
Ra= 2√h(H-h).
%ERROR=(Re-Ra/Ra)100
DATA ANALYSIS
In which we had shown at the table, to get the Ra, we had this
formula where Ra = 2√h(H-h). In trial No. 1 we substitute the
following so that we can get the Ra. Ra = 2√20.5(40-20.5) and
then the answer is 41.
In trial No. 2 we did the same thing substitute the given H and
h. 2√34(54-34) is equal to 52.15.
◦ Gravity is still the only force acting on a projectile, the total energy
will still not change. However, what is different this time is that the
ball never reaches a point where it stops moving, even for an
instant. When it gets to its maximum height, it is still moving
forward, even though its vertical velocity is 0, so it still has some
kinetic energy.
K = ½ mv squared
Vf Vi = 2gh
QUESTIONS
4. How much mechanical work is done
QUESTIONS
5. From what height should a car be dropped to gain
the same kinetic energy it would have if it were
moving horizontally 95 km/hr?
