Two objects are dropped simultaneously from an initial height of 100m, with an initial velocity of zero. They fall straight down. For mass 1, you can ignore air drag. For mass 2, air drag DOES affect the motion. Here is the position vs. time for both objects: 100 90 80 y 100-0.1164't-4.795*t40.1283*t3 70 60 mass 1: no air drag a mass 2: with air drag 40 30 y-100-1/2 9.8*t2.. 20 10 time (s) 1) Calculate the kinetic energy of mass...
1. [25 points) Idealized frictionless free fall of an object that is dropped from being at rest at i = 0. For the following question, to model the free fall of a falling rock, assume the usual idealizing simplifications for solving "free fall" problems. Consider the following experiment. A rock with a mass of m= 2 kg is dropped at the time t = 0 from a height of 140 m above ground. Assume that the rock is simply dropped...
Two objects are allowed to fall from the same height to the ground. They both start from rest at the same time. One is just released and falls straight downward. The other is placed on a frictionless inclined plane that makes an angle of θ with the horizontal. Which one hits the ground with the highest speed? Ignore air resistance. Group of answer choices You need the angle of the incline to determine the answer. The object that falls straight...
n Chapter 5 we look at drag due to air resistance for falling objects. Using the Dv form of dr discussed in class, write a program (or solve analytically) to determine how long (sec.) and how far m) a 150 gram ball whose radius is 3.5cm would fall before it reached 75% of its terminal velocity. Assume ball falls in air whose density is 1.21 kg/m3, has a drag coefficient C .3, cross-sectional area s just the disk a sphere...
6. [10 points) For the following question, to model the free fall of a falling rock, assume the usual idealizing simplifications for solving "free fall" problems. Work with the approximate value g = 9.8 m/s2 for the Earth's gravitational acceleration. Consider the following experiment. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is known worldwide for its nearly four- degree lean. The height of the tower is 55.86 meters from the ground on the low side, and 56.67 meters on the high side....
A basketball has a mass of 0.62 kg. When dropped from a height of 3.5 m, it hits the ground with a speed of 7.3 m/s. Calculate (a) the ball's initial potential energy and (b) its final kinetic energy. If your answers to parts (a) and (b) are different, explain why.
#1 - An A-380 of total mass 550,000 kg accelerates from rest under the thrust from its for engines. If the total thrust is 1.25 x106 N and the distance it accelerated is 2800 m, calculate a) the kinetic energy of the plane at this run and b) its speed at that moment. #2 - A 1.40 kg coconut 5.50 m above the ground fall from the tree. a) Calculate its gravitational potential energy before it felt. ...
Problem 2 (40%). While driving, some of a car's kinetic energy is lost to air drag. We would like to estimate the importance of air drag using dimensional analysis and the Buck- ingham a theorem. The relevant parameters are the drag force (FD), the frontal surface area (A) and velocity of the car (v), as well as the density of air (Pair = 1 kg/m3). Answer the following questions: 1. Derive the expression of the drag force as a function...
1 Warm-Up Questions 1 A block of mass m = 3 kg is dropped from the top of a half-pipe (half-circle) of radius R = 2 m starting from rest. The surface of the incline does have friction. If the block comes to rest at half of its initial height, how much work was done by friction? Work: 2 Initially, a ball of mass 0.4 kg is compressed by a spring, with spring constant k = 980 N/m, by a...
Two objects undergo an elastic collision. Object 1 has a mass of 2.75 kg and object 2 a mass of 2.6 kg. Just prior to the collision, object 1 has a kinetic energy of 51 J and object 2 is at rest. What is the initial velocity of Object 1? What is the total kinetic energy of the two cart system after the collision? What is the total momentum of the two cart system after the collision?
