Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy: Problem 119_SSM

A 50 g ball is thrown from a window with an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Using energy methods, determine (a) the kinetic energy of the ball at the top of its flight and (b) its speed when it is 3.0 m below the window. Does the answer to (b) depend on either (c) the mass of the ball or (d) the initial angle?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 50 g, 8.0 m, 3.0 m

Find: (a) the kinetic energy of the ball at the top of its flight and; (b) its speed when it is 3; (b) depend on either
