Question

A ball starts from rest and accelerates at 0.525 m/s2 while moving down an inclined plane 9.45 m long. When it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where, after moving 15.00 m, it comes to rest. (Assume positive direction points down the first plane and up the second plane.)

(a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first plane?

_________

(b) How long does it take to roll down the first plane?

_________

(c) What is the acceleration along the second plane? (Careful with sign!)
___________

(d) What is the ball's speed 8.35 m along the second plane?
____________

Please give the answer to each as well as how you got the answer!

Explanation / Answer

(a) v^2 = vo^2 + 2 *a * d
= 0 + 2 * 0.525 * 9.45

v = 3.15 m/s (it is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first plane )

(b) v = vo + a * t
3.15 = 0 + 0.525 t ---> t = 6 s

(c) v^2 = vo^2 + 2 *a * d
0 = 3.15^2 + 2 * a * 15
a = -0.33 m/s^2

(d) v^2 = vo^2 + 2 *a * d
= 3.15^2 + 2 * (-0.33) * 8.35
--> v = 2.1 m/s
