An angry physics student releases a wrecking ball as shown. The wrecking ball is just about to hit the building at the final time. Neglect loss. Identify the energy types present at each time for the highlighted object or system relative to the reference

level shown. Also identify if loss occurs and/or work is done by a non-conservative force between each time

(if necessary).

Answer:

the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force)

Explanation

Explanation:For this exercise the student must create an impulse to move the ball towards the building, in this part he performs positive work since the applied force and the displacement are in the same direction.

When the ball moves it has a kinetic energy and if its height increases or decreases its potential energy also changes, but the sum of being must be equal to the initial work.

When the ball arrives and collides with the building, non-conservative forces, of various kinds; rubbing, breaking, etc. It transforms this energy into a part of heat and another in mechanical energy that the building must absorb, let us destroy its wall

Consequently, the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force
