    21 - Kinetic and Potential Energy (Answer)

    Uploaded by

    keyur.gala
    1. The document contains multiple choice questions and short answer questions about kinetic and potential energy. It asks about forms of energy changing for a diver and cyclist, and calculations involving changes in gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy for a skydiver, toy parachutist, and falling water. 2. Key concepts covered include the relationships between changes in height/speed and changes in gravitational potential/kinetic energy. Calculations of these energy changes are required for objects moving under gravity, such as a skydiver or falling water. 3. Sources of energy loss that prevent the equality of energy changes are discussed, such as air resistance for the skydiver and falling water.

    Q.II) Answer the following.
    1.

    Fig. 1.1 shows the descent of a sky-diver from a stationary balloon. (0625_s13_qp_31
    -3)

    Fig. 1.1 (not to scale)


    The sky-diver steps from the balloon at a height of 2000 m and accelerates downwards.
    His speed is 52 m / s at a height of 500 m.
    He then opens his parachute. From 400 m to ground level, he falls at constant speed.
    (a) The total mass of the sky-diver and his equipment is 92 kg.
    (i) Calculate, for the sky-diver,
    I. the loss of gravitational potential energy in the fall from 2000 m to 500 m,

    loss of gravitational potential energy = ..........................................


    II. the kinetic energy at the height of 500 m.

    kinetic energy = .................................................


    (ii) The kinetic energy at 500 m is not equal to the loss of gravitational potential
    energy.
    Explain why there is a difference in the values.
    ..................................................................................................................................
    ..............................................................................................................................
    2. A childs toy launches a model parachutist of mass 0.40 kg vertically upwards. The
    model parachutist reaches a maximum height of 8.5 m. (0625_w13_qp_33 4)
    (a) Calculate
    (i) the gravitational potential energy gained by the model parachutist,

    energy = .................................................
    (ii) the minimum possible speed with which the model parachutist was launched.

    speed = .................................................
    (b) In practice, the launch speed must be greater than the value calculated in (a)(ii).
    Explain why.
    ..........................................................................................................................................
    ..........................................................................................................................................
    .....................................................................................................................................
    (c) As the model parachutist returns to the ground, it loses gravitational potential
    energy.
    Explain what happens to this energy as the model parachutist falls through the air at
    constant speed.
    ..........................................................................................................................................
    .....................................................................................................................................
    3. Fig. 3.1 shows water falling over a dam. (0625_w06_qp_3 3)

    Fig. 3.1
    (a) The vertical height that the water falls is 7.0 m.
    Calculate the potential energy lost by 1.0 kg of water during the fall.

    potential energy = ........................


    (b) Assuming all this potential energy loss is changed to kinetic energy of the water,
    calculate the speed of the water, in the vertical direction, at the end of the fall.

    speed = ........................
    (c) The vertical speed of the water is less than that calculated in (b). Suggest one
    reason for this.
