Answer:
a) t=1s
y = 10.1m
v=5.2m/s
b) t=1.5s
y =11.475 m
v=0.3m/s
c) t=2s
y =10.4 m
v=-4.6m/s (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
We apply the free fall formula for position (y) and speed (v) at any time (t).
As gravity opposes movement the sign in the equations is negative.:
y = vi*t - ½ g*t2 Equation 1
v=vit-g*t Equation 2
y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t
vi: Initial speed
g= acceleration due to gravity
v= Speed the ball moves at time t
Known information
We know the following data:
Vi=15 m / s

t=1s ,1.5s,2s
Development of problem
We replace t in the equations (1) and (2)
a) t=1s
=15-4.9=10.1m
v=15-9.8*1 =15-9.8 =5.2m/s
b) t=1.5s
=22.5-11.025=11.475 m
v=15-9.8*1.5 =15-14.7=0.3m/s
c) t=2s
= 30-19.6=10.4 m
v=15-9.8*2 =15-19.6=-4.6m/s (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)
In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
= 256 KPa.
Answer:
P = 450 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a child, m = 18 kg
The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.
The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the top to the bottom of the slide.
The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :
P = mgh
Substituting all the values,
P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m
P = 450 J
Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.
Wave A would have higher amplitude
Hope this helps :D
