I. CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY
Situation: The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) uses an official basketball with a mass of around 620.0 g or 0.62 kg. The proper height of dribbling a basketball depends on the player’s height. For better mobility, the ball is dribbled at a waist level (around 1.20 m).
Answers & Comments
Answer:
1.20 m : E= 7.30
PE= 7.30 J
KE= 0 kg*m2/s2
0.60 m : E= 7.3
PE= 3.65 J
KE= 3.65 kg*m2/s2
0 m : E= 7.29
PE= 0 J
KE= 7.29 kg*m2/s2
PE = mgh | KE = 1⁄2 mv2 | E = PE + KE
