"When the ball leaves the ramp at Point B, students measure the horizontal" distance traveled. They repeat the experiment five t

imes, being careful to release the ball from the same starting Point A and find the average horizontal distance traveled to be 2.0 m. One student suggests they use a stopwatch to find the time the ball is in the air whereas another student suggests they use a meter stick. Given these materials, describe the procedure students should follow to minimize error and calculate the speed of the ball as it leaves the ramp.

Answer:

Speed of ball as it leaves ramp is 2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question it is given that the average distance traveled by ball from point A to B is 2.0 m and the time taken is 1sec

one student is using stopwatch to calculate the time taken by ball and another student is using meter stick to calculate the distance traveled

since speed of ball is given by v = \frac{distance}{time}  thus,

the speed = 2 m/s

now for minimizing the error of speed it is necessary to record the readings by single students at-least 5 times and take average

by doing this, the error of speed calculation will be minimum as the it decreases the error due to random error of system caused by taking the reading  by different students

Lorico [155]

10°c

Explanation:

Given parameter;

Lower fixed point = 30mm

Upper fixed point = 180mm

Reading = 45mm

Unknown:

The degree celcuis temperature at 45mm = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we simply compare the mm- scale to the celcius - scale that we know.

The upper fixed point is the boiling point of water

Lower fixed point is the freezing point of water

This shows that both the upper and lower fixed point of both thermometers are the same;

         mm-scale          °c scale

          180mm               100°c

            45mm                x

          30mm                  0°c

Solving;

                     \frac{x - 0}{100 -0} =  \frac{45 - 30 }{180- 30}

   x (150) = 100  x 15

   x = 10°c

Whitepunk [10]

The equation we can use here is:

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a d

where v is final velocity, v0 is intial velocity, a is acceleration and d is distance

 

14^2 = 8^2 + 2 a (44)

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1838216 J

Explanation:

95 km/h = 26.39 m/s

40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

Initial kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x(26.39)²

= 557145.67 J

Final kinetic energy

= .5 x 1600 x ( 11.11)²

= 98745.68 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= 458400 J

Loss of potential energy

= mg x loss of height

= 1600 x 9.8 x 340 sin 15

= 1379816 J

Sum of Loss of potential energy and Loss of kinetic energy

=  1379816 + 458400

= 1838216 J

This is the work done by the friction . So this is heat generated.
