A 100-g toy car moves along a curved frictionless track. At first, the car runs along a flat horizontal segment with an initial

velocity of 2.77 m/s. The car then runs up the frictionless slope, gaining 0.184 m in altitude before leveling out to another horizontal segment at the higher level. What is the final velocity of the car if we neglect air resistance?

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 2.02 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The kinetic energy of the car as it runs along the first flat horizontal segment can be calculated using the following equation:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE =  kinetic energy

m = mass

v = velocity

Then, the initial kinetic energy will be:

KE = 1/2 · 0.100 kg · (2.77 m/s)²

KE = 0.384 J

When the car gains altitude, it gains potential energy. The amount of gained potential energy will be equal to the loss of kinetic energy. So let´s calculate the potential energy of the car as it reaches the top:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

PE = 0.100 kg · 9.8 m/s² · 0.184 m

PE = 0.180 J

Then, the final kinetic energy will be (0.384 J - 0.180 J) 0.204 J

Using the equation of kinetice energy, we can obtain the velocity of the car:

KE =  1/2 · m · v²

0.204 J = 1/2 · 0.100 kg · v²

2 · 0.204 J  / 0.100 kg = v²

v = 2.02 m/s

The final velocity of the car is 2.02 m/s

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

There is at least one instant which instantaneous acceleration is equal to average acceleration. a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}.

Explanation:

The average acceleration experimented by the car is:

\bar a = \frac{85\,\frac{km}{h} - 35\,\frac{km}{h} }{\frac{2}{60}\,h }

\bar a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}

According to the Rolle's Theorem, there is at least one instant t so that instantaneous acceleration equal to average acceleration for the analyzed interval. That is to say:

v'(c) = \frac{v(\frac{2}{60} )-v(0)}{\frac{2}{60}-0}

If car is accelerating at constant rate, instantaneous acceleration coincides with average acceleration for all instant t. Then, instantaneous acceleration is:

a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}

I am really struggling with this question because I can't find anything on aphelion and perihelion, it's not a topic we went ove
Hoochie [10]

I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.

I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:

Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>

</span> </span> </span> <span> Distance at Perihelion (</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>

Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is  1/2  of the orbital period.

</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>

1/2 (50%) of that is  43.9845  Earth days

The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is

     1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
     1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098  AU
 
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.
