A 3 kg penguin is pushed by his penguin friends who give him an initial speed vo at the top of a 30 m hill. The penguin is hopin

g this will be enough initial speed that he can make it all the way down this hill and up the next hill which is 45 m tall. Neglecting friction and air resistance, what does the initial speed need to be for him to make it up this second hill?

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2

\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2

\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s

Explanation:

Note that we take K_2 = 0 because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.

Answer:

Approximately 1.62 × 10⁻⁴ V.

Explanation:

The average EMF in the coil is equal to

\displaystyle \frac{\text{Final Magnetic Flux} - \text{Initial Magnetic Flux}}{2},

Why does this formula work?

By Faraday's Law of Induction, the EMF \epsilon induced in a coil (one loop) is equal to the rate of change in the magnetic flux \Phi through the coil.

\displaystyle \epsilon(t) = \frac{d}{dt}(\Phi(t)).

Finding the average EMF in the coil is similar to finding the average velocity.

\displaystyle \text{Average}\; \epsilon = \frac{1}{t}\int_0^t \epsilon(t)\cdot dt.

However, by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, integration reverts the action of differentiation. That is:

\displaystyle \int_0^{t} \epsilon(t)\cdot dt = \int_0^{t} \frac{d}{dt}\Phi(t)\cdot dt = \Phi(t) - \Phi(0).

Hence the equation

\displaystyle \text{Average}\; \epsilon = \frac{1}{t}\int_0^t \epsilon(t)\cdot dt = \frac{\Phi(t)- \Phi(0)}{t}.

Note that information about the constant term in the original function will be lost. However, since this integral is a definite one, the constant term in \Phi(t) won't matter.

Apply this formula to this question. Note that \Phi, the magnetic flux through the coil, can be calculated with the equation

\Phi = B \cdot A \cdot N \; \sin{\theta}.

For this question,

  • B = \rm 16\; mT = 16\times 10^{-3}\; T is the strength of the magnetic field.
  • A = \rm 71\; cm^{2} = 71\times \left(10^{-2}\right)^2 \; m^{2} is the area of the coil.
  • N = 1 is the number of loops in the coil.
  • \theta is the angle between the field lines and the coil.
  • At \rm 0\;s, the field lines are parallel to the coil, \theta = 0^{\circ}.
  • At \rm 0.7\; s, the field lines are perpendicular to the coil, \displaystyle \theta = 90^{\circ}.

Initial flux: \Phi(0)= 0.

Final flux: \Phi(0.7) = \rm 1.1136\times 10^{-4}\; Wb.

Average EMF, which is the same as the average rate of change in flux:

\displaystyle \frac{\Phi(0.7) - \Phi(0)}{0.7} \approx\rm 1.62\times 10^{-4}\; V.

At a hot air balloon race, a person on the ground shots a ball of confetti from a cannon to start the race. One of the balloons
Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The balloon and the ball will meet after 1.43 s.

b) The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.

Explanation:

The height of the confetti ball is given by the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the ball at time t

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

The height of the ball is given by this equation:

y = y0 + v · t

Where v is the constant velocity.

When the ball and the ballon meet, both heights are equal. Let´s consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference so that y0 = 0:

y balloon = y ball

y0 + v · t = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²                  (y0 = 0)

11 m/s · t = 18 m/s · t -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m/s · t

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t²  + 7 m/s · t

0 = t( -4.9 m/s² · t  + 7 m/s)

t = 0 and

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t  + 7 m/s

-7 m/s / - 4.9 m/s² = t

t = 1.43 s

They will meet after 1.43 s

b) Now let´s calculate the height of the balloon after 1.43 s

y = v · t

y = 11 m/s · 1.43 s = 15.7 m

The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.

Can someone give me tips to passing AP Physics 1 with a solid A? Like, tips on how to memorize a lot of equations? Thank you!
Anna007 [38]
A good way for me to remember things is to study it, and to write it down! Say you want the formula for speed, I would write the formula multiple times on a piece of paper! 

Here's a video that I haven't actually watched, I just looked it up! It might help you out though: <span>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wqrw4G79Kc</span>
