Question

A sphere has a mass of 8.5 kg and a radius of 10cm. How much work is it necessary to do on the ball to get it to a speed of 6.0m/s?

Answer 1

153J

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 8.5kg

radius r= 10cm in meters = 0.01m

velocity v= 6m/s

The work done will be the same as the energy possessed by the sphere at such speed

Required

the work one in Joules

we know that

KE=1/2mv^2

KE=1/2*8.5*6^2

KE= 1/2*8.5*36

KE=306/2

KE=153J
