Solution
distance travelled by Chris
\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.
X_{c}= [(\frac{21+0}{2})+(\frac{33+21}{2})+(\frac{55+47}{2})+(\frac{63+55}{2})+(\frac{70+63}{2})+(\frac{76+70}{2})+(\frac{82+76}{2})+(\frac{87+82}{2})+(\frac{91+87}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}
=\frac{579.5}{3600}=0.161miles
Kelly,
\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.
X_{k}=[(\frac{24+0}{2})+(\frac{3+24}{2})+(\frac{55+39}{2})+(\frac{62+55}{2})+(\frac{71+62}{2})+(\frac{79+71}{2})+(\frac{85+79}{2})+(\frac{85+92}{2})+(\frac{99+92}{2})+(\frac{103+99}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}
=\frac{657.5}{3600}
\Delta X=X_{k}-X_{C}=0.021miles
Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.
Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).
At the start:
ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J
equal and opposite reaction.
I’ve done this before the answer is B
This means acceleration a is constant.
Let
a) vo be the initial speed, at t=0
b) v be the final speed after time t
c) d distance travelled in time t
Then we have:
a) v=vo+a×t
b) v²=vo²+2×a×d (Galilei's equation)
c) d=vo×t+a×t²/2
d) average speed vm=(vo+v)/2
