A 3,204 kg tree positioned on the edge of a cliff 247 m above the ground breaks away and falls into the valley below which is considered zero potential energy. If the tree’s mechanical energy is conserved, what is the speed of the tree just before it hits the ground in meters/sec?

Respuesta :

Let's see

  • PE is turned to KE as per law of conservation of energy

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2gh=v^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(10)(247)=v^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v²=4940[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=70.3ms^{-1}[/tex]
