While you are in a bus that moves at 100 km/h you walk from the back to the front at 10 km/h. What is your speed relative to the

road outside?

Answer: 110km/h

100+10=110km/h

Explanation:

Motion is defined as a change of position. The frame of reference is usually assumed to be at rest. If one is sitting on a bus, the road appears to be moving backwards relative to the observer. If he/she now walks to the front of the bus, he has a speed relative to the earth which is now greater than that of the bus hence the answer.

A ball rolls off a desk at a speed of 2 m/s and lands 0.50 seconds later.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

(a) The ball lands <u>1 m</u> ahead of the desk's base.

(b) The height of the desk is <u>1.225 m.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the ball is, u_{0}=2\ m/s

Time of flight of the ball is, t=0.50\ s

(a)

Let the ball fall at a distance of x from the base of the desk and let the height of the desk be y.

The given motion of the ball is a projectile motion that can be divided into 2 mutually perpendicular directions.

Now, considering only the horizontal motion of the ball. The ball not under the influence of any force in the horizontal direction.

Therefore, the distance covered by the ball horizontally is given as:

x=v_0\times t\\x=2\times 0.50=1\ m

So, the ball lands 1 m ahead of the desk's base.

(b)

Now, consider only the vertical motion of the ball. The ball is under the influence of gravity.

So, vertical distance can be obtained  using Newton's equations of motion.

We use the following equation of motion:

y-y_0=u_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where,

y_{0}\rightarrow \textrm{initial vertical position of ball}\\u_{oy}\rightarrow \textrm{initial vertical velocity}\\g\rightarrow \textrm{acceleration due to gravity}\\y\rightarrow \textrm{final position of ball vertically}

Here, as the ball leaves the desk horizontally, initial velocity is only in the horizontal direction and doesn't have any component in the vertical direction. So, u_{oy}=0\ m/s

Plug in y_0=h,y=0,g=-9.8,u_{oy}=0,t=0.5. Solve for h.

0-h=0+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(0.5)^2\\-h=-4.9\times 0.25\\h=1.225\ m

Therefore, the height of the desk is 1.225 m.

A block of mass 5.6 kg is attached to a horizontal spring on a rough floor. Initially the spring is compressed 3.5 cm. The sprin
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The velocity of block = 0.188 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Mass m = 5.6 kg

k = 1040 \frac{N}{m}

\mu = 0.26

x_{1} = 0.035 m  , v_{1} = 0

x_{2} = 0.02 m

From work energy theorem

K_{1} + U_{1} + W_{other} = K_{2} + U_{2}  --------- (1)

Kinetic energy

K = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}  ------- (1)

Potential energy

U = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2} ------- (2)

Work done

W = F.s ------ (3)

From Newton's second law

R_{N} = mg

R_{N}  = 5.6 × 9.81 = 54.9 N

Friction  force = 0.4 × 54.9 = 21.9 N

Now the work done by the friction

W_{f} = - 21.9 × 0.015

W_{f} = - 0.329 J

Now kinetic energy

At point 1

K_{1} = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{1}

K_{1} = 0

U_{1} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

U_{1} = \frac{1}{2}  (1040) 0.035^{2}

U_{1} = 0.637 J

At point 2

K_{2} = \frac{1}{2} (5.6) v^{2} _{2}

K_{2} = 2.8 v_{2} ^{2}

Potential energy

U_{2} = \frac{1}{2}  k x_2^{2}

U_{2} = \frac{1}{2}  (1040) 0.02^{2}

U_{2} = 0.208 J

From equation (1) we get

0 + 0.637 - 0.329 = 2.8 v_{2} ^{2} + 0.208

2.8 v_{2} ^{2} = 0.1

v_{2} = 0.188 \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of block.
