Question 2 b)
What is the change in the ball’s position from s? Give your answer in whole numbers in metres. Write your answer without units i.e., 12 m as 12.
Question 1 d)
Which statement below is true?
Question 2 a)
A ball rolls horizontally along a track. A camera takes a picture of the ball 4 times every second and the position of the ball at each photograph is shown in the diagram below (note the leftmost ball position is the first photograph, with each subsequent photograph showing the movement of the ball towards the right of the track).
Which of the graphs of position, shown below best describes the motion of the ball? You may find it helpful to make a table of time vs. position first.
Question 1 c)
What was the initial speed of the second stone?
Give your answer to 1 decimal place in units of m/s. Write your answer without units i.e., 12.6 m/s as 12.6.
Question 1 b)
What is the speed of the first stone when it hit the water?
Question 1 a)
A tourist is standing on a rock ledge hanging over a pool 65 metres below them.
They throw one stone vertically downwards, wait 1.5 s and then throw a second stone vertically downwards. They see a single splash (both stones hit the water at the same time). The initial speed of the first stone was 2.2 m/s.
How much time has elapsed between the release of the first stone and the second stone hitting the water? Give your answer to 1 decimal place in seconds. Write your answer without units i.e., 12.6 s as 12.6.
You work for a company that tests machine components that undergo high-speed rotation. One component consists of a solid steel disk of mass 350 kg and radius, 45 cm spinning at an angular speed of 18,000 rev/min.
What is the angular speed of the disk in rad/s?
Give your answer to 0 decimal places in rad/s. Do not include the units in your answer i.e. you would write 2 rad/s as 2
You work for a company that tests machine components that undergo high-speed rotation. One component consists of a solid steel disk of mass 350 kg and radius 45 cm spinning at an angular speed of 18,000 rev/min.
Calculate the moment of inertia assuming a solid disk.
Give your answer to 2 decimal places in kgm . Do not include the units in your answer i.e. you would write 24.26 kgm
When a child starts a merry-go-round from rest is the angular velocity constant?
Now let's say that our driver is not speeding (so is going 80kmh = 22 m/s) but they are looking at their cell phone. Their alarmed passenger shouts "ROOOOOOOO!!!!." In this case, it takes them 2.5 seconds to react and start applying the brakes.
What's your gut reaction: do they hit the kangaroo? Now calculate: What distance do they travel?
