Question 38

For this question, at the bottom of the circular track, we have kinetic energy.

When it goes up by 2 m, means it have some height now. Now, the ball possesses kinetic energy(it’s still
moving) and gravitational potential energy (height).

m v 2= m v 2+ mgh
2 2

Since all terms have ‘m’, I cancel it.

×0.1 ×102 = m v2 +0.1 ×10 × 2

Question 85

Force Q can be resolved into both vertical component and horizontal component.

Horizontal component: Q sin 60

Vertical component: Q cos 60

For a system in equilibrium, both vertical and horizontal component must be in equilibrium.

Q cos 60 = 50 ( 5 kg = 50 N, vertical is equilibrium)

Q sin 60 = P (horizontal is equilibrium)
