A 5 kg box drops a distance of 10 m to the ground. If 70% of the initial potential energy goes into increasing the internal energy of the box, determine the magnitude of the increase.

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The initial PE [tex](PE)_i[/tex] = m×g×h

= 5 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 10 m

= 490.5 J

The change in Potential energy P.E of the box is:

ΔP.E = [tex]P.E_f -P.E_i[/tex]

ΔP.E = 0 - [tex](PE)_i[/tex]

ΔP.E = [tex]-P.E_i[/tex]

If we take a look at conservation of total energy for determining the change in the internal energy of the box;

[tex]\Delta P.E + \Delta K.E + \Delta U = 0[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U = -\Delta P.E - \Delta K.E[/tex]

this can be re-written as:

[tex]\Delta U =- (-\Delta P.E_i) - \Delta K.E[/tex]

Here, K.E = 0

Also, 70% goes into raising the internal energy for the box;

Thus,

[tex]\Delta U =(70\%) \Delta P.E_i-0[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U =(0.70) (490.5)[/tex]

ΔU = 343.35  J

Thus, the magnitude of the increase is = 343.35 J
