A toy car goes over a small ramp at a horizontal velocity of 1.21 m/s and decelerates at 0.131 m/s2 while in the air. The total

time elapsed was 0.342 seconds. What was the horizontal distance traveled?

We need to considerate only the horizontal component of the motion of the toy car.

The formula for the distance in a decelerated motion is:
s = s₀ + v₀·t - 1/2·a·t²

where:
s₀ = initial position = 0
v₀ = initial velocity = 1.21 m/s
t = time elapsed = 0.342 s
a = deceleration = 0.131 m/s²

Plugging in numbers:
s = 0 + 1.21×0.342 - 0.5×0.141×(0.342)²
= 0.406 m

Hence, the toy car traveled a distance of about 41 cm.

Answer: A.Validate and implement the results.

The final step in a forecasting system is to validate and implement the results. This can be similar to a presentation. After going through all the steps from the planning, researching, and gathering of data, making the forecast, validating and implementing the results will be the last thing that needs to be done.

In a local diner, a customer slides an empty coffee cup down the counter for a refill. The cup slides off the counter and strike

zysi [14]

a) $t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

b) $v=\frac{d}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}$

c) $v=\sqrt{d^2(\frac{g}{2h})+(2gh)}$

d) $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2h}{d})$ (radians)

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the cup sliding off the counter is the motion of a projectile, consisting of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction

- A uniformly accelerated motion (free fall) along the vertical direction

The time of flight of the cup is entirely determined by the vertical motion, therefore we can use the suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where here:

$s=h$ (the vertical displacement is the height of the counter)

$u=0$ (the initial vertical velocity of the cup is zero)

$a=g$ (the vertical acceleration is the acceleration of gravity)

Solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cup:

$h=0+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

b)

To solve this part, we just analyze the horizontal motion of the cup.

Here we know that the horizontal motion of the cup is uniform: this means that is horizontal speed is constant during the whole motion, and it is actually equal to the speed at which the mug leaves the counter.

For a uniform motion, the speed is given by

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

Here, the distance covered is $d$ , the distance from the base of the counter, while the time taken is the time of flight:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the speed of the mug as it leaves the counter:

$v=\frac{d}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}$

c)

Here we want to find the speed of the cup immediately before it hits the floor.

Here we have to consider that while the mug falls, its vertical speed increases, while the horizontal speed remains constant.

Therefore, the horizontal speed of the cup before it hits the ground is:

$v_x=\frac{d}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}=d\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}$

The vertical speed instead is given by the suvat equation:

$v_y=u_y + at$

where:

$u_y=0$ is the initial vertical velocity

$a=g$ is the acceleration

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$ is the time of flight

Substituting,

$v_y = 0 +g(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})=\sqrt{2gh}$

The actual speed of the cup just before it hits the floor is the resultant of the horizontal and vertical speeds, so it is:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{d^2(\frac{g}{2h})+(2gh)}$

d)

Just before hitting the floor, the velocity of the cup has two components:

$v_x=d\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}$ is the horizontal component (in the forward direction)

$v_y=\sqrt{2gh}$ is the vertical component (in the downward direction)

Since the two components are perpendicular to each other, the angle of the direction is given by the equation

$tan \theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}$

where here $\theta$ is measured as below the horizontal direction.

Substituting the expressions for $v_x,v_y$ , we find:

$tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2gh}}{d\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}}=\frac{2h}{d}$

So

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2h}{d})$ (radians)

An iron nail is driven into a block of ice by a single blow of a hammer. The hammerhead has a mass of 0.5 kg and an initial spee

larisa [96]

Answer:

The ice melts mass is:

$m_g=7.6x10^{-3} g$

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

$K_E = 1/2*m*v^2$

$K_E = 1/2*0.5kg*(3.2m/s)^2$

$K_E=2.56 kg*m^2/s^2$

Heat gained by ice= mass(g) x 80 cal

( 1 cal = 4.184 *10^7er or g cm^2/ sec^2)

Assuming no loss in heat, in the motion so both continue with temperature 0~C

To find so the mass (gm) of ice melted

$m_g= 1/2 *(0.5*1000)*(3.2m/s)^2* 100*100 / (80*4.184*10^7)$

$m_g=7.6x10^{-3} g$
