Assume that the energy lost was entirely due to friction and that the total length of the PVC pipe is 1 meter. Use this length to compute the average force of friction (for this calculation, you may neglect uncertainties).

Assume that the energy lost was entirely due to friction and that the total length of the PVC pipe is 1 meter. Use this length to compute the average force of friction (for this calculation, you may neglect uncertainties).

Mass of the ball :  16.3 g

Predicted range :  0.3503 m

Actual range : 1.09 m

Solution :

Given that :

The predicted range is 0.3503 m

Time of the fall is :

[tex]$t=\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$[/tex]

[tex]v_1t= 0.35[/tex]  ...........(i)

[tex]v_0t= 1.09[/tex]  ...........(ii)

Dividing the equation (ii) by (i)

[tex]$\frac{v_0t}{v_1t}=\frac{1.09}{035} = 3.11$[/tex]

∴ [tex]v_0=3.11 \ v_1[/tex]

Now loss of energy  = change in the kinetic energy

[tex]$W=\frac{1}{2} m [v_0^2-v_1^2]$[/tex]

[tex]$W=\frac{1}{2} \times (16.3 \times 10^{-3}) \times [v_0^2-\left(\frac{v_0}{3.11}\right)^2]$[/tex]

[tex]$W=7.307\times 10^{-3} \ v_0^2$[/tex]

If f is average friction force, then

(f)(L) = W

(f) (1) = [tex]$7.307\times 10^{-3} \ v_0^2$[/tex]

(f)  = [tex]$7.307\times 10^{-3} \ v_0^2$[/tex]

The Average force of friction is ( F )  = 7.307 * 10⁻³ v₀²

Given data:

Predicted range ( v₁t ) = 0.3503 m

Actual range ( v₀t ) = 1.09 m

mass = 16.3 g

First step : Determine the value of  V₀

[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }[/tex]    ,    v₁t  =  0.3503 ,    ( v₀t ) = 1.09 m

To obtain the value of  V₀  

Divide ( v₀t ) by ( v₁t )  =  1.09 / 0.3503 = 3.11 v₁

V₀ = 3.11 v₁

Next step : Determine the average force of friction ( f )

given that loss of energy results in a change in kinetic energy

W = [tex]\frac{1}{2} m ( vo^{2} - v1^{2} )[/tex]

    = 1/2 * 16.3 * 10⁻³ * [ v₀² - [tex](\frac{v_{0} }{3.11} )^{2}[/tex] ]

W = 7.307 * 10⁻³ v₀²

Average force of friction = W / Actual length

                                         = 7.307 * 10⁻³ v₀² / 1  

∴ Average force of friction ( F )  = 7.307 * 10⁻³ v₀²

Hence we can conclude that the average force of friction is 7.307 * 10⁻³ v₀²
