If a rock is thrown upward on the planet Mars with a velocity of 10 m/s, its height in meters t seconds later is given by y= 10t

- 1.86t^2. (a) Find the average velocity over the given time intervals: (i) [1, 2] (ii) [1, 1.5] (iii) [1, 1.1] (iv) [1, 1.01] (v) [1, 1.001] (b) Estimate the instantaneous velocity when t = 1.

Answer:

a)

i) v = 4.42 m/s

ii) v = 5.36 m/s

iii) v = 6.1 m/s

iv) v = 6.26 m/s

v) v = 6.28 m/s

b) The instantaneous velocity at t = 1 is 6.28 m/s

Explanation:

a) The average velocity is the variation of the position over time. It is expressed as follows:

v = Δy/Δt

Where

v = average velocity

Δy = displacement = final position - initial position

Δt = variation of time = final time - initial time

i) Let´s find the position at both times and then apply the equation for the average velocity:

y(t) = 10 · t - 1.86 · t²

y(1 s) = 10 m/s · 1 s - 1.86 m/s² · (1 s)²

y = 8.14 m

y (2 s) = 10 m/s · 2 s - 1.86 m/s² · (2 s)²

y = 12.56 m

Then, the average velocity  will be:

v = final position - initial position / final time - initial time

v = 12.56 m - 8.14 m / 2 s - 1 s = 4.42 m/s

ii) We proceed in the same way as in i)

y(1.5 s) = 10 m/s · 1.5 s - 1.86 m/s² · (1.5 s)²

y = 10.82 m

v = 10.82 m - 8.14 m / 1.5 s - 1 s = 5.36 m/s

iii)

y(1.1 s) = 10 m/s · 1.1 s - 1.86 m/s² · (1.1 s)²

y = 8.75 m

v = 8.75 m - 8.14 m / 1.1 s - 1 s = 6.1 m/s

iv)

y(1.01 s) = 10 m/s · 1.01 s - 1.86 m/s² · (1.01 s)²

y = 8.20 m

v = 8.20 m - 8.14 m / 1.01 s - 1 s = 6 m/s ( 6.26 m/s without rounding the y-final value)

v)

y(1.001 s) = 10 m/s · 1.001 s - 1.86 m/s² · (1.001 s)²

y = 8.146

v = 8.146 m - 8.14 m  / 1.001 s - 1 s = 6 m/s  (6.28 m/s without rounding the value of y-final)

b) The instantaneous velocity is given by the derivative of the position function:

y = 10 · t - 1.86 · t²

dy/dt = 10 - 2 · 1.86 · t  = 10 - 3.72 · t

At t = 1

v = 10 m/s - 3.72 m/s² · 1 s = 6.28 m/s

Arte-miy333 [17]

b) Equal to 243 N.

Explanation:

The total force acting on the car in the opposite direction including the road friction and air resistance is equal to 243 N.

This is in conformity with newton's third law of motion.

Newton's third law of motion states that "action and reaction are equal and opposite in direction. "

  • The action force is that of the pull by Harry acting on the car.
  • The reaction force is in the opposite direction.
  • Both action and reaction force equal and opposite and magnitude and direction

iren2701 [21]

Answer: 586.60N/m

Explanation:

In this scenario, the elastic potential energy of the spring is converted into potential energy.

0.5*K*x^2 = mgh

Thus K = 2mgh/x^2

=(2*2.90*10^-2*9.8*7.23)/(8.37*10^-2)^2

=586.599

Therefore K = 586.60N/m
