3. 14m and -2m

4. -1 m/s

<h3>What is Position - time Graph ?</h3>

Position time graph is the graph of distance or displacement against time. The slope of the graph is velocity.

The given positions of four objects as a function of time are shown

on the graph to the right.

1.) The velocity of object A will be the slope m of the line A.

Slope m = Δx / Δt

m = (4 - 0) / (8 - 0)

m = 4 / 8

m = 0.5 m/s

Velocity at A = 0.5 m/s

2.) The average velocity of object B will be the slope m of the line B.

Slope m = Δx / Δt

m = (6 - 4) / (8 - 0)

m = 2 / 8

m = 0.25 m/s

The average velocity of object B is 0.25s

3.) The object moved a total distance during the first eight seconds will be 4m for A, 2m for B, and 8m for D

Total distance = 4 + 2 + 8 = 14m

It’s net displacement during the same time will be 2. That is,

Displacement = 8 - 6 = -2m

4.) The greatest speed occurred at line D. The velocity of the object moving at the greatest speed will be the slope of the line D

V = -Δx / Δt

V = -8/8

V = -1 m/s

Therefore, there is no movement in line C and the greatest velocity occurs at line D.

A ball with an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s rolls up a hill without slipping. (a) Treating the ball as a spherical shell, calcul

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Part i)

h = 5.44 m

Part ii)

h = 3.16 m

Explanation:

Part i)

Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy

So we have

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = mgh$

here we know that for spherical shell and pure rolling conditions

$v = R \omega$

$I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}mR^2)(\frac{v^2}{R^2}) = mgh$

$\frac{5}{6}mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{5v^2}{6g}$

$h = \frac{5(8^2)}{6(9.81)} = 5.44 m$

Part b)

If ball is not rolling and just sliding over the hill then in that case

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{8^2}{2(9.81)} = 3.16 m$

The barometric pressure at sea level is 30 in of mercury when that on a mountain top is 29 in. If the specific weight of air is

stealth61 [152]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to pressure, depending on the product between the density of the fluid, the gravity and the depth / height at which it is located.

For mercury, density, gravity and height are defined as

$\rho_m = 846lb/ft^3$

$g = 32.17405ft/s^2$

$h_1 = 1in = \frac{1}{12} ft$

For the air the defined properties would be

$\rho_a = 0.0075lb/ft^3$

$g = 32.17405ft/s^2$

$h_2 = ?$

We have for equilibrium that

$\text{Pressure change in Air}=\text{Pressure change in Mercury}$

$\rho_m g h_1 = \rho_a g h_2$

Replacing,

$(846)(32.17405)(\frac{1}{12}) = (0.0075)(32.17405)(h_2)$

Rearranging to find $h_2$

$h_2 = \frac{(846)(32.17405)(\frac{1}{12}) }{(0.0075)(32.17405)}$

$h = 9400ft$

Therefore the elevation of the mountain top is 9400ft

The force of air resistance acts to oppose the motion of an object moving through the air. A ball is thrown upward and eventuall

ozzi

Answer:

For a (1) net force will be greater than the weight of the ball

For b (2) net force will be lesser than the weight of the ball

Explanation:

For (a):

For a linear motion of a system, one must have to understand, according to Newtons first law of motion, which is also known as law of inertia, a body which is at motion will continue to move or a body at rest will continue to rest until an external force is applied to it. In the given case, when ball goes upward, one thing is for sure, the net force is greater than the weight of the ball, because three forces are applied during upward motion:

gravity or weight which is pulling the ball downward,

air resistance, which is also acting downward as it is creating friction between ball and air molecules, so creating hindrance in upward motion

External force to throw ball upward

Net Force = Upward force - Air friction - Weight

Since ball is going upward, so net force is greater than both weight and air friction which are pulling ball downward.

For (b):

For a linear motion of a system, one must have to understand, according to Newtons first law of motion, which is also known as law of inertia, a body which is at motion will continue to move or a body at rest will continue to rest until an external force is applied to it. In the given case, when ball goes downward, one thing is for sure, the net force is lesser than the weight of the ball, because two forces are applied during downward motion:

gravity or weight which is pulling the ball downward,

air resistance, which is acting upward as it is creating friction between ball and air molecules, so creating hindrance in downward motion

Net Force = Weight - Air friction

Since ball is going downward, so weight is greater than net force which is in this case is air friction which is pulling ball upward.
