Introductionm2cdfc9c0158a150e_1528450127855_0Introduction

Revising homework tasks.

Task 1

A small flowerpot with the mass of 0,5 kg is falling down (as a result of inattention) from the edge of the balcony which is at the height of 20 m. Assume that no resistance force is working on the flowerpot. The flowerpot is moving with acceleration of 10ms2.

Rewrite to your notebook and complete the table below by inserting the appropriate values of height, velocity, potential energy, kinetic energy and mechanical energy in the SI system.

[Table 1]

Answer:

[Table 2]

Task 2

The flowerpot fell down just next to John. He was very upset by this fact and he threw this pot vertically up from the ground level. As a result, the pot had the vertical upward velocity of 15 ms.

Rewrite to your notebook and complete the table below by inserting the appropriate values of height, velocity, potential energy, kinetic energy and mechanical energy in the SI system.

[Table 3]

Answer:

[Table 4]

Procedurem2cdfc9c0158a150e_1528446435040_0Procedure

On the basis of the results from both tables, formulate the principle of the conservation of mechanical energy.
The principle of the conservation of mechanical energy is one of the most important principles in physics. According to this principle in case of the system of bodies on which no external and resistance forces work, the total mechanical energy of the system remains constant.

1. What does the jumper have to do to start jumping on the trampoline?

2. What energy does a deflected trampoline have?

3. What energy does the jumper have when the trampoline is straight?

4. Describe energy conversions from the start of the jump to the moment of re‑landing on the trampoline?

5. Draw a diagram showing the energy conversion during the jump.

6. Does the total mechanical energy change during the jumps? Justify your answer.

Lesson summarym2cdfc9c0158a150e_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

1. The principle of the conservation of mechanical energy is empirical, which means that it has been formulated as a conclusion from many experiments.

2. The principle of the conservation of mechanical energy means that if no external force works on the system of body and if the components of the system are not affected by friction or resistance of the environment, the mechanical energy of the system remains constant. This means that the kinetic and the potential energy of the system components can change, but their sum remains constant.

3. The principle of the conservation of mechanical energy is of great practical importance, because it allows to calculate or at least estimate in an easy and simple way the values which describe the system of bodies in various processes.
