QUESTION:
Figure EX10.26 is the potential energy diagram for a \(500 g\) particle that is released from rest at A. What are the particle’s speeds at B, C, and D?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
We are going to find the speed of the particle at the points \(B, C\), and \(D\).
The mass of the particle \(\mathrm{m}=500 \mathrm{~g}=0.5 \mathrm{~kg}\)
The energy of the particle when it is released \(E=5 \mathrm{~J}\)
(at A)
The potential energy at \(\mathrm{B}\left(\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}\right)=2 \mathrm{~J}\)
The potential energy at \(\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{C}}\right)=3 \mathrm{~J}\)
The potential energy at \(\mathrm{D}\left(\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{D}}\right)=0\)
