Answer:
m=0.5kg
h = 180 cm =1.8 mh=180cm=1.8m
Initial potential energy of the object is:
E_p=m*g*hE
p
=m∗g∗h
Kinetic energy at the surface:
E_k=\frac{mv^2}{2}E
k
=
2
mv
2
According to the law of conservation of energy (assuming no air resistance):
E_p = E_kE
p
=E
k
mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}mgh=
2
mv
2
Solving for v:
v=\sqrt{2gh}v=
2gh
p=mvp=mv
So,
p= m*v = m\sqrt{2gh}p=m∗v=m
2gh
Calculating:
p= 0.5\sqrt{2*9.8*1.8}\approx 2.97 \frac{kg*m}{s}p=0.5
2∗9.8∗1.8
≈2.97
s
kg∗m
Answer:
p \approx 2.97 \frac{kg*m}{s}p≈2.97
s
kg∗m
