A ball is equipped with a speedometer and launched straight upward. The speedometer reading four seconds after launch is shown a
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Question 1: <u>1 s after the motion starts</u>

Question 2: <u>0 (just when the motion starts)</u>

Explanation:

You will need to work with approximates values because the precision of the speedometers is low and you are requested to find approximate times.

<u>1. From the speedometer shown at the right.</u>

You can obtain how long the ball has been falling from the highest altitute it reached using the speed of 10 m/s shown by the speedometer at the right.

  • Free fall equation: Vf = Vo - gt

  • Vo = 0 ⇒ Vf = gt ⇒ t = Vf / g

For this problem, I recommend to work with a rough estimate of g: g = 10 m/s² ( I will tell you why soon)/

  • t = [10 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

That is the time falling. Since four seconds after launch have elapsed, the upward time was 3 seconds. This will let you to calculate the launching speed.

<u>2. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 20 m/s</u>

First, calculate the launching speed:

  • Vf = Vo - gt

Since the ball was 3 seconds going upward and the speed at the maximum altitude is 0 you get:

  • 0 = Vo - gt

   

  • Vo = gt = 10 m/s² × 3 s = 30 m/s

Now, use the initial velocity to calculate when the ball is going upward with the speedometer reading is 20 m/s

  • 20 m/s = 30 m/s - 10 m/s² × t

  • t = [ 30 m/s - 20 m/s] / [10 m/s²] = 1 s

Thus, the first answer is t = 1 s.

<u />

<u>3. Time when the speedometer displays a reading of 30 m/s</u>

This is the same speec estimated for the launching: 30 m/s.

So, this reading corresponds to the moment when the ball was launched.

Thus time is 0, i.e. it is the same instant of the launch.

If you had worked with g = 9.80 m/s², the time had been negative. This is due to the precision of the instruments.

That is why I recommended to work with g = 10 m/s².

Describe the kinds of potential energy that are stored by a car driving on a hill.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The internal combustion engine in the car converts the potential chemical energy in gasoline and oxygen into thermal energy which is transformed into the mechanical energy that accelerates the vehicle (increasing its kinetic energy) by causing the pressure and performing the work on the pistons.
