Question 3 of 32
Two clowns at a circus are performing an act in which one clown jumps down
on a seesaw and launches the other clown, who is standing on the opposite
end, as shown in the image below. Without losses due to friction or air
resistance, this process will go on forever in periodic motion. If the clown on
the left has a mass of 75 kg and a starting height of 5 m, what is the
maximum height that the clown on the right can reach if she has a mass of
50 kg?

Respuesta :

If the clown on the right weighs 50 kg, her height at her tallest point will be 6 m.

What is gravitational potential energy?

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

From the conservation energy principle potential energy at the lowest and the highest points are equal.

[tex]\rm m_1gh_1=m_2gh_2 \\\\ 50 \ kg (h_2)=(75 \ kg )(4 \ m)\\\\\ h_2=6 \ m[/tex]

Hence, the maximum height that the clown on the right can reach if she has a mass of 50 kg will be 6m.
