Calculate the Velocity of a Mass released in a Sphere Cavity

In summary: Therefore, the total kinetic energy is not zero and you cannot set it equal to the potential energy at the maximum height. Instead, you need to use the conservation of energy equation:-GMm/R + 1/2mv0^2 = -GMm/R + 1/2mv^2Solving for h, you get h = R/2, which is the correct answer.

Q1.

The current vel. of the river grows in proportion to the distance from the bank and reaches the maximum value of v0 in the middle.

v=0 :near banks. A boat is moving along the river in such a manner that it is always perpendicular to the current .The boat in still water is u .Find the distance through which the boat crossing the river will be caried away by the current if the width of the river is c.Also determine the trajectory of the boat.



Q2. A river of width a with straight parallel banks flows due north with u. The points O and A are on the opposite banks and A is due east of O. Co-ordinate axes Ox and Oy are taken in east and north dirn. resp.. A boat ,whose speed is v relative to water ,starts from O and crosses the river .

if the boat is steered due east and u varies with x as :u=x(a-x)v/a^2

find: 1 eqa. of trajectory

should i write full soln or just tell what i did

Just show us what you did, and where you got stuck. Then we can help you.

initial potential energy = -11GMm/8R where M =d*vol of larger sphere
final energy=-2GmM'/R where M' is mass of hollow sphere.
so ini PE= final PE + 1/2mv^2
but i am not getting correct answer=sqrt(2/3pi G d R^2)

The kinetic energy at the maximum height is not zero. The vertical component of v is zero, but it has a non-zero horizontal component.
 

FAQ: Calculate the Velocity of a Mass released in a Sphere Cavity

1. How do you calculate the velocity of a mass released in a sphere cavity?

To calculate the velocity of a mass released in a sphere cavity, you need to use the formula v = √(2gh), where v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the cavity. This formula assumes that all the potential energy at the top of the cavity is converted into kinetic energy at the bottom.

2. What is a sphere cavity?

A sphere cavity is a hollow spherical space that is completely enclosed and has a fixed volume and shape. It can be created artificially or occur naturally in certain geological formations.

3. How does the shape of the cavity affect the velocity of the released mass?

The shape of the cavity does not affect the velocity of the released mass, as long as the mass is released from the same height. The velocity is only affected by the height of the cavity and the acceleration due to gravity.

4. Can the velocity of the released mass be greater than the escape velocity of the cavity?

No, the velocity of the released mass cannot be greater than the escape velocity of the cavity. The escape velocity is the minimum velocity required for an object to escape the gravitational pull of a celestial body, and it is directly related to the mass and radius of the body. The velocity of the released mass in a sphere cavity is limited by the height and acceleration due to gravity, and cannot exceed the escape velocity.

5. Are there any real-world applications for calculating the velocity of a mass released in a sphere cavity?

Yes, there are several real-world applications for this calculation. For example, it can be used in geology to estimate the speed of a rock or debris falling into a sinkhole or cave. It can also be applied in physics experiments to study the effects of gravity on objects released in confined spaces.
