Work of gravitational attraction based on height

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the work of gravitational attraction for a ball shot into the air, one must consider the mass of the ball, its height at various angles, and the initial velocity, particularly at a 90-degree angle. The mass is 24 grams, and heights at different angles are provided, with 27 cm at 0 degrees and 80 cm at 90 degrees. Clarification is needed on whether to calculate the work done by gravity at maximum height or upon returning to the ground. Relevant equations for this problem include those related to gravitational potential energy and kinematics. Understanding these concepts is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


i need to find the work of gravitational attraction based on heights of balls being shot into the air. the mass of the ball is 24 grams, the height is 27cm at 0 degrees, 38 at 30 degrees, 50 at 45 degrees, 61 at 60 degrees, 80 at 90 degrees.
i also need to find the initial velocity of a ball going up at a 90 degree angle.

Your problem statement is unclear. Do you want to find the work done by gravity when it reaches its max height? Or when it hits the ground? And if its max height is 27 cm when the gun is fired at 0 degrees, the gun must be positioned 27 cm above ground when it is fired.

You should also provide your thoughts on what equations may come into play.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
