Energy Bar Charts and Energy
transformations
For the following questions, start by
drawing energy bar charts and identifying energy transformations. Then
answer the question.
- A block slides down a frictionless ramp
of height h. It reaches velocity v at the bottom. To reach a
velocity of 2v, the block would need to slide down a ramp of
height
A. 1.41 h B. 2 h C. 3 h D. 4 h E. 6
h
- A block is shot up a frictionless 40 degree slope with
initial velocity v. It reaches a height h before sliding back down. The
same block is shot with the same velocity up a frictionless 20 degree
slope. On this slope, the block reaches height
A. 2
h B. h C. 1/2 h D. Greater than
h, but I connot predict an exact value. E. Less than
h, but I can't predict an exact value.
- Two balls, one twice as heavy as the other, are dropped
from the roof of a building. Just before hitting the ground, the heavier
ball has
A. one-half B.
the same amount as C. twice D. four times
the kinetic
energy of the lighter ball.
