1). Определим начальную скорость снаряда, при которой он достигнет высоты h1=15.9048mh_1=15.9048 m

To do this, we apply the kinetic energy change theorem

mV0122=mgh1\frac{mV^2_{01}}{2}=mgh_1

where do we get

V01=2gh1=29.8115.9048=312.052=17.665m/cV_{01}=\sqrt{2gh_1}=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.81\cdot 15.9048}=\sqrt{312.052}=17.665m/c

2). Then the energy loss is

ΔE=mV0222mV0122=0.518.8220.517.66522=88.3678.01=10.35J\Delta E=\frac{mV^2_{02}}{2}-\frac{mV^2_{01}}{2}=\frac{0.5\cdot 18.8^2}{2}-\frac{0.5\cdot 17.665^2}{2}=88.36-78.01=10.35J
