A child is on a pogo stick. At the top of her jump, kinetic energy (KE) = 0 J, gravitational potential energy (GPE) = 100 J, and

the potential energy in the spring (SPE) = 0 J. At which point in the jump is the kinetic energy the greatest?

Because just before the pogo stick contacts the ground the system has its greates velocity.  

2.) A  

Because they have the same mass and the same height.  

3.) D  

Because the velocity is 0 (KE is 0), The Height is 0 (GPE = 0) and the spring is compressed due to converting all the kinetic enrgy into SPE.

Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the same direction, the lead car at 25 m/s and the other car at 35 m/s. At the m
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a. t_1=12.5\ s

b. a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}  must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c. t_2=2.5714\ s is the time taken to stop after braking

Explanation:

Given:

  • speed of leading car, u_1=25\ m.s^{-1}
  • speed of lagging car, u_{2}=35\ m.s^{-1}
  • distance between the cars, \Delta s=45\ m
  • deceleration of the leading car after braking, a_1=-2\ m.s^{-2}

a.

Time taken by the car to stop:

v_1=u_1+a_1.t_1

where:

v_1=0 , final velocity after braking

t_1= time taken

0=25-2\times t_1

t_1=12.5\ s

b.

using the eq. of motion for the given condition:

v_2^2=u_2^2+2.a_2.\Delta s

where:

v_2= final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0

a_2= acceleration of the chasing car after braking

0^2=35^2+2\times a_2\times 45

a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2} must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c.

time taken by the chasing car to stop:

v_2=u_2+a_2.t_2

0=35-13.61\times t_2

t_2=2.5714\ s  is the time taken to stop after braking

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river,
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

t=40s,

Explanation:

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:

from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank

Vt=v1+v2

the time is takes to swim across the bank will be

DY=Dv*t

DY=distance across the bank

Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank

t=20/ 0.5m/s,

t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank

velocity is the rate of displacement

displacement is distance covered in a specific direction

When measuring accelerations with three different graphs (x-t, v-t, a-t) which gives the most reliable results and why?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

Explanation:

The different graphics depending on time give various information, let's examine what we can get from some

Graph of x -t. from this graph we can obtain the speed through the slope, but the acceleration is not directly obtainable

v-t chart. We can get the acceleration not through the slope and the distance traveled by the area under the curve. Obtaining acceleration is very accurate since it is an average that avoids possible errors in measurements. This is the best graph to find the acceleration

Graph of a-t In this graph the acceleration is a point on the Y axis, it gives some errors because it depends strongly on the possible experimental errors.

In conclusion, the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.
