A basketball player makes a jump shot. The 0.599 kg ball is released at a height of 2.18 m above the floor with a speed of 7.05 m/s. The ball goes through the net 3.10 m above the floor at a speed of 4.19 m/s. What is the work done on the ball by air resistance, a nonconservative force?

Answer:
W = -4.22 J
Explanation:
Given
m = 0.599 kg
vi = 7.05 m/s
yi = 2.18 m
vf = 4.19 m/s
yf = 3.10 m
We apply the equations of the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem
W = Ef – Ei
W = (Kf + Uf) – (Ki + Ui)
W = (m/2)(vf² – vi²) + mg(yf – yi)
W = (0.599 kg/2)((4.19 m/s)² – (7.05 m/s)²) + (0.599 kg)(9.81m/s²)(3.10 m – 2.18 m)
W = -4.22 J
Answer:
Explanation:
The situation can be described by the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:
The work done on the ball due to drag is:
