Work energy principle and power

[Shah 72]

A golf ball of mass 45.9g is hit from a tee with speed 50 m/ s. The ball lands in a pond 5m lower than the tee. When the ball lands in the pond it has traveled a curved path of length 160m. The resistance acting on the ball has magnitude 0.3N
a) Find the speed of the ball just before it hits the water
I got the ans 22.5m/ s

The water immediately absorbs 8J of energy from the ball. The ball then sinks vertically downwards to reach the bottom of the pond. The resistance acting on the ball had magnitude 3N and the ball just comes to rest as it reaches the bottom of the pond.
b) find the depth of the pond
I get the ans as 1. 22m . The ans in the textbook is 1.44m
Pls help

Sure.
So for the (a)
m=0.0459 kg, u= 50 m/ s, h =5m, s=160m, resistance = 0.3N
Increase in KE= 0.02295v^2- 57.375J
Increase in GPE= -2.295J
Work done against resistance = -48J
So v= 22.5m/ s
For (b)
As soon as the ball falls in the pool, 8J of energy is lost by the ball.
Resistance on the ball= 3N
Work done against resistance = - 3S
Energy of the ball before entering the pond= 11.63J
11.63-8= 3s
S=1.22m

 

[skeeter]

for (b), the resistance of 3N on the ball as it sinks is not the net force

 

[Shah 72]

for (b), the resistance of 3N on the ball as it sinks is not the net force

Can you pls show how to calculate. Iam not able to understand

Can you pls show how to calculate. Iam not able to understand

what are the forces acting on the ball as it sinks?

 

[Shah 72]

what are the forces acting on the ball as it sinks?

The forces acting on the ball is the final KE, final GPE and the resistance

So 11.62- 0.459h-8= -3h

 

[Shah 72]

what are the forces acting on the ball as it sinks?

Iam not sure if it's right

 

[skeeter]

kinetic energy is not a force …

 

[Shah 72]

kinetic energy is not a force …

View attachment 11247

So contact force = 459N along with resistance of 0.3N before it enters water and 3N as it reaches water

Iam still very confused on how to calculate. Pls help

from the very beginning ...

A golf ball of mass 45.9g is hit from a tee with speed 50 m/ s. The ball lands in a pond 5m lower than the tee. When the ball lands in the pond it has traveled a curved path of length 160m. The resistance acting on the ball has magnitude 0.3N
a) Find the speed of the ball just before it hits the water

let the zero for GPE be the water level

$KE_0 + mgh_0 - R_1 \cdot s_1 = KE_f$

where the magnitude of $R_1 = 0.3 \, N$, $s_1 = 160 \, m$

The water immediately absorbs 8J of energy from the ball. The ball then sinks vertically downwards to reach the bottom of the pond. The resistance acting on the ball had magnitude 3N and the ball just comes to rest as it reaches the bottom of the pond.
b) find the depth of the pond

$KE_f - 8 - (R_2 - mg) \cdot s_2 = 0$

where the magnitude of $R_2 = 3 \, N$ and and the weight of the ball, $mg$, is not 459N

Please start telling us what you are confused about! We know you are confused... If you are mistaking kinetic energy for a force then you have a long way to go to solve one of these. But we aren't going to simply spoon feed you and guess where you need the help. Please start being more interactive. It will help you, even in the short run.

$KE_f - 8 - (R_2 - mg) \cdot s_2 = 0$

where the magnitude of $R_2 = 3 \, N$ and and the weight of the ball, $mg$, is not 459N

When it hits the water,
Increase in KE = 1/2 mv^2-1/2mu^2= 11.62J
Increase in GPE= mg(h2-h1)=0.0459×10(0- h)= -0.459h
Work done against resistance = -3×h
Energy lost from the ball= 8J
11.62 - 0.459h -8 = -3h
h= 1.42m
Is this the correct way of calculating?

I am confused about how to calculate once it hits the water. Iam not getting how to calculate the mechanical energy and the work done against resistance.
When it hits the water
m= 0.0459kg, u= 22.5m/s , v=0m/s, energy lost from the ball and absorbed by the water= 8J, resistance = 3N

Part b) Using romsek's notation in post #12:

It's the Work-Energy theorem.
\(\displaystyle W_{net} = \Delta KE\)

Step 1: The work done by gravity as it sinks: \(\displaystyle W_g = mgh - mgh_0 = -mg s_2\)

Step 2: The work done by the water: \(\displaystyle W_w = F s_2 = -R s_2\)

Step 3: 8 J of energy is absorbed by the water so there is an extra work done of 8 J.

Step 4: Using the final kinetic energy from part a) as the initial energy of part b):

So
\(\displaystyle -mg s_2 - R s_2 + 8 = - KE_f\)
which is romsek's equation.

If you are still confused, what part are you still confused about?

The ans is 1.44m.
Work done by gravity= -0.459h2

If I substitute the values in the equation you have given, it will be
-0.459h2-0.459h2 +8= -11.62
I get h2=21.4m
The ans in the textbook is 1.44m
