Aball is launched with initial speed v from the ground level up a frictionless hill. the hill becomes steeper as the ball slides up; however, the ball remains in contact with the hill at all times. using conservation of energy, find the maximum vertical height hmax to which the ball will climb. express your answer in terms of v and g.

The ball will rise to a maximum height of $\boxed{h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}}$ .

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy associated with the body by virtue of its motion whereas the potential energy of the body is the amount of energy stored in a body by virtue of its position.

The amount of kinetic energy stored in a body is given by:

$\boxed{K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}$ ...... (1)

Here, is the kinetic energy, is the mass and is the speed of the body.

The potential energy stored in a body as it reaches its maximum height is given as:

$\boxed{P=mgh}$ ...... (2)

Here, is the potential energy stored, is the acceleration due to gravity and is the height attained by the body.

According to the conservation of energy, the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to another.

$\text{kinetic energy}=\text{potential energy}$

Substitute the values of kinetic energy and potential energy and simplify the expression for the maximum height.

$\begin{aligned}\dfrac{1}{2}mv^{2}=&mgh_{max}\\h_{max}=&\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the maximum height attained by the ball as it rises up is $\boxed{h_{max}=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}}$ .

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)
