The amount of energy lost to air friction, given the data is 37.71 J
How to obtain the initial energy
- Initial velocity (u) = 15.1 m/s
- Mass (m) = 450 g = 450 / 1000 = 0.45 Kg
- Initial Energy (E₁) = ?
E₁ = ½mu²
E₁ = ½ × 0.45 × 15.1²
E₁ = 51.3 J
How to obtain the final energy
- Final velocity (u) = 19.89 m/s
- Mass (m) = 450 g = 450 / 1000 = 0.45 Kg
- Final Energy (E₂) = ?
E₂ = ½mv²
E₂ = ½ × 0.45 × 19.89²
E₂ = 89.01 J
How to determine the energy lost
- Initial Energy (E₁) = 51.3 J
- Final Energy (E₂) = 89.01 J
- Energy lost =?
Energy lost = E₂ - E₁
Energy lost = 89.01 - 51.3
Energy lost = 37.71 J
