A coffee filter of mass 1.5 grams dropped from a height of 3 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.043665 J

Explanation:

The transormation of energy and differences is given by

[tex]M(gh-0.5v^{2})[/tex] where M is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, v is velocity and h is height.

Substituting 0.0015 kg for M, 9.81 for g, 3m for h and 0.8 m/s for velocity.

[tex]0.0015(9.81*3-0.5*0.8^{2})=0.043665 J[/tex]
