Does Ap Physics have anything to do with probablity?

1 answer:

5 0

So I'm a junior. I am currently taking AP Calc BC and AP Physics B.

As of now, I'm not sure if I should take AP Probability and Statistics or Differential Equations/Calc III next year. Also, I'm debating between taking AP Physics C or AP Chemistry.

Which ones do you think would look better on a transcript? I heard that Diffeq/CalcIII is harder than AP ProbStat, but ProbStat is an AP course which will be weighted heavier. Also, should I take Physics C since i've taken Physics B this year already?

Marizza181 [45]

I believe the best example of Newton's First Law of motion would be the example or illustration with the basketball player. An object will move in a straight line or a given direction at a constant speed unless or until another force acts upon the object, causing a change in speed and or direction.

Archer shoots his arrow towards a target at a distance of 90 m and hits bullseye . Calculate the acceleration and time taken by

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

acceleration = 45 m/s²

Time = 20 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Distance; s = 90m

Final velocity;v = 90 m/s

Since shot from rest, initial velocity;u = 0 m/s

So, to find the acceleration, we can use Newton's 2nd law of motion which is;

v² = u² + 2as

Where a is acceleration

Plugging in the values;

90² = 0² + 2a(90)

8100 = 180a

a = 8100/180

a = 45 m/s²

Now, for the time, we will use Newton's 1st law of motion which is;

v = u + at

Where t is time;

So;

90 = 0 + 4.5t

90 = 4.5t

t = 90/4.5

t = 20 seconds

In a control system, an accelerometer consists of a 4.70-g object sliding on a calibrated horizontal rail. A low-mass spring att

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

7.37 N/m

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object = 4.70 g = 0.0047 kg

acceleration = 0.800 g = 0.800 × 9.81 = 7.848 m/s²

Displacement = 0.500 cm = 0.005 m

Now,

Force by the object = Mass × Acceleration

= 0.0047 × 7.848

= 0.0368856 N

and,

Force by the spring = kx

where, x is the displacement

k is the spring constant

thus,

0.0368856 = k × 0.005

k = 7.37 N/m

Mila [183]

Answer:

a) w = 2.52 10⁷ rad / s, b) K / K₀ = 1.19 10⁴

Explanation:

a) We can solve this exercise using the conservation of angular momentum.

Initial instant. Before collapse

L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. After the collapse

L_f = I w

angular momentum is conserved

L₀ = L_f

I₀ w₀ = I w (1)

The moment of inertia of a sphere is

I = 2/5 m r²

we take from the table the mass and diameter of the star

m = 1,991 10³⁰ kg

r₀ = 6.96 10⁸ m

r = 6.37 10⁶ m

to find the angular velocity let's use

w = L / T

where the length of a circle is

L = 2π r

T = 24 days (24 h / 1 day) (3600 s / 1h) = 2.0710⁶ s

we substitute

w = 2π r / T

wo = 2π 6.96 10⁸ / 2.07 10⁶

wo = 2.1126 10³ rad / s

we substitute in equation 1

w = $\frac{I_o}{I}$

w = 2/5 mr₀² / 2/5 m r² w₀

w = ( $\frac{r_o}{r}$ ) ² wo

w = (6.96 10⁸ / 6.37 10⁶) ² 2.1126 10³

w = 2.52 10⁷ rad / s

b) the kinetic energy ratio

K = ½ m w²

K₀ = ½ m w₀²

K = ½ m w²

K / K₀ = (w / wo) ²

K / K₀ = 2.52 10⁷ / 2.1126 10³

K / K₀ = 1.19 10⁴
