Answer:
Part i)
h = 5.44 m
Part ii)
h = 3.16 m
Explanation:
Part i)
Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy
So we have
here we know that for spherical shell and pure rolling conditions
Part b)
If ball is not rolling and just sliding over the hill then in that case
Answer:
The doppler effect equation is:
In the equation we have frequencies, but then we have the wavelengths of the lights, remember the relation:
v = f*λ
then:
f = v/λ
and v is the speed of light, then:
f = c/λ
where:
f' is the observed frequency, in this case, is equal to f = (3*10^17nm/s)/550 nm
f is the real frequency, in this case, is (3*10^17nm/s)/650 nm
vs is the speed of the source, in this case, the source is not moving, then vs = 0 m/s.
v is the speed of the wave, in this case, is equal to the speed of light, v = 3*10^8 m/s
v0 is your speed, this is what we want to find.
Replacing those quantities in the equation, we get:
(3*10^17nm/s)/550 = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)/(3*10^8 m/s)*(3*10^17nm/s)/650 nm
(650nm)/(550nm) = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)/(3*10^8 m/s)
1.182*(3*10^8 m/s) = (3*10^8 m/s + v0)
1.182*(3*10^8 m/s) - (3*10^8 m/s) = v0 = 54,600,000 m/s
So your speed was 54,600,000 m/s, which is a lot.
