A 5.00 kg steel sphere rolls at 10.0 m sec on a level surface reaches an incline and rolls up a vertical height of 5.00 meters before coming to a stop Calculate the amount of energy lost due to fri?

Answer 1

24N

Answer 2

The initial energy of the sphere is given by its kinetic energy ( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 ). The final energy of the sphere at its maximum height is the potential energy ( PE = mgh ), where ( g = 9.8 m/s^2 ) is the acceleration due to gravity. The energy lost due to friction is equal to the difference between the initial and final energies, i.e., ( KE - PE ). Calculate the values using the provided data to find the energy lost.
