Answer:
Explanation:
The net force on the potatoes is given by:
F= 52 - mgSintheta
F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)
F = 52 -18.4
F= 33.58N
Using Newton's 2nd law
F = ma
a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2
Using the equation of motion:
V^2= u^2 + 2as
V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2
V^2 = 67.16
V=sqrt(68.16)
V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes
Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2
KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2
KE = 67.16J
