Question

1) A quantity z is defined as z = x2.y, with x = (8.23 +/- 0.22) and y = (4.56 +/- 0.12), calculate z and its uncertainty.

2) In a projectile motion experiment, the launcher is mounted horizontally at a height of 125 cm above the floor level. A sphere is shot out of the launcher and lands a horizontal distance of 176 cm away on the floor.

With the launcher mounted vertically, how high above the launch point would the sphere reach?

3) In a projectile motion experiment, the launcher is mounted horizontally at a height of 125 cm above the floor level. A sphere is shot out of the launcher and lands a horizontal distance of 176 cm away on the floor.

5) In a two dimensional collision experiment two 100-g spheres undergo glancing angle collision. Sphere 1 is shot with a speed of 4 m/s at an identical sphere which is stationary. Assume that Ball 1 was travelling along the x-axis before collision. After collision, Ball 1 travels at 50 degrees to one side of the x-axis and Ball 2 travels at 35 degrees to the other side of the x-axis. Assuming an elastic collision; what are the momenta of the system before and after collision?

What is the change in the kinetic energy of the system when m1 moves up from y = 0.5 m to y = 1.0 m?

Explanation / Answer

2) Let t is the time taken.

Apply, h = voy*t + 0.5*g*t^2

h = 0.5*g*t^2

t = sqrt(2*h/g)

= sqrt(2*1.25/9.8)

= 0.505 s

speed of sphere, vo = x/t

= 1.76/0.505

= 3.48 m/s

if it is projected vertically, H = vo^2/(2*g)

= 3.48^2/(2*9.8)

= 0.62 m or 62 cm <<<<<---------Answer

3) muzzle velocity, vo = 3.48 m/s <<<<<---------Answer


7) Apply net torque = 0

0.15*0.32*9.8 - 0.3*m*9.8 = 0

m = 0.15*0.32/0.3

= 0.16 kg or 160 grams <<<<<---------Answer


9) net workdone = (m2-m1)*g*delta y

= (2.1-2)*9.8*0.5

= 0.49 J <<<<<---------Answer


10) change in kinetic enrgy = workdone

= 0.49 J <<<<<---------Answer
