Question

Referring to the below diagram, how high will the ball rise on the right-hand incline?

Answer 1

are you familiar with the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Answer 2

not really :/ just motion

Answer 3

This question depends on an understanding of the Conservation of Energy

For this diagram the only two forms of energy are Potential = mgh and kinetic 0.5mv^2.

At the start all the energy is in the form of potential energy. At the bottom all the potential energy has been turned into kinetic energy.

At the top on the right hand side all the energy is potential energy.

If the potential energy on the left side equals the potential energy on the right according to the Conservation of Energy and the mass (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g) are the same, what about the height? Are they the same? What is that height?

Answer 4

yes this follows law of Conservation .
