What is the instantaneous velocity of the hummingbird at t=1s?
1 answer:
The distance - time graph of the humming bird is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s
Explanation:
From the attached graph, at time t = 1 s, the corresponding distance is 0.5 m.
Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at that point.
Thus;
Instantaneous velocity = 0.5/1
Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as
Here,
= Change in height
m = mass of super heroine
g = Acceleration due to gravity
The change in height will be,
The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,
The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,
Replacing all this values we have,
Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J
Answer:
h = 10.4 m
R = 22.48 m
v= 16,2 m/s , α = 61.7°, below the horizontal
v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)
Explanation:
The ball describes a parabolic path, and the equations of the movement are:
Equation of the uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) :
x = vx*t :
Equations of the uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ).
y = (v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Equation (2)
vfy² = v₀y² -2gy Equation (3)
vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (4)
Where:
x: horizontal position in meters (m)
t : time (s)
vx: horizontal velocity in m
y: vertical position in meters (m)
v₀y: initial vertical velocity in m/s
vfy: final vertical velocity in m/s
g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
Known data
y= 8.8 m
v = ( (7.7)i + (5.7)j ) m/s : vx= 7.7 m/s , vy= 5.7 m/s
g = 9.8 m/s²
Calculation of the initial vertical velocity ( v₀y)
We apply Equation (3) with the known data
(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y
(5.7)² = (v₀y)²- (2)*(9.8)*(8.8)
(5.7)²+ 172.48 = (v₀y)²
v₀y = 14.3 m/s
Calculation of the maximum height the ball rise (h)
In the maximum height vfy=0
We apply the Equation (3) :
(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y
0 = (14.3)² - 2*98*h
h = (14.3)² / 19.6
h = 10.4 m
Calculation of the time it takes for the ball to the maximum height
We apply the Equation (4) :
vfy = v₀y -gt
0 = v₀y -gt
gt = v₀y
t = v₀y/g
t = 14.3/9.8
t= 1.46 s
Flight time = 2t = 2.92 s
Total horizontal distance traveled by the ball (R)
We replace data in the equation (1)
x =vx*t vx= 7.7 m/s , t =2.92 s (Flight time)
R = (7.7)* (2.92) = 22.48 m
Velocity of the ball (magnitude (v) and direction (α)) the instant before it hits the ground
vx = 7.7 m/s
vy = v₀y -gt = 14.3 - 9.8* (2.92) = -14.3 m/s
v= 16,2 m/s
α = -61.7°
α = 61.7°, below the horizontal
i- j components of the v
v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)
