A model rocket with a mass of 0.212 kg is launched into the air with an initial speed of 84 m/s. How much kinetic energy will the rocket have at a height of 214 m? Assume there is no wind resistance.
444 J

747 J

303 J

634 J

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C

303 J

Explanation:

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but only transformed from one state to the other.

Initial [tex]KE=0.5mv^{2}=0.5*0.212*84^{2}=747.936 J[/tex]

Initial potential energy=mgh but since h=0 then energy is 0

Final potential energy=mgh=0.212*9.81*214=445.06008  J

Considering that initial energy is 747.936+0=747.936 J, final energy should also be the same. The final kinetic energy is the difference between total sum of energy and potential energy

[tex]KE=747.936-445.06008=302.87592\approx 303 J[/tex]
