TART WRITING 28 A A sled is pulled up to the top of a hill. The sketsh above indicates the shape of the hill. At the top of the hill the sled is released from rest and allowed to ccast down the hill. A: the bottom of the hill the sled has ase a kinetic energy E (the energy due to the and air resistance are so small they can be ig sled's motion). Answer the following questions. In every case fricrion 4. The sled is pulled of the sled the up a steeper hill of the same height as the hill described above. How will the velocity at the bottom of the hill (after it has slid down) compare to that of the sled at the botom of the original hill? Choose the best answer below A-The speed at the bottom is greater for the steeper hill. B. The C. The s e speed at the bottom is the same for both hills. is not enough information given to say which speed at the bottom is faster. J. None of these descriptions is corect. 45.

Explanation / Answer

44) Speed of the sled at the bottom for both the hills will be same. We can find it using third equation of motion.

v^2 = 2.a.s, (u = 0). acceleration a will be more for steeper hill but it will travell less distance compare to the original hill. Term a.s comes out to be constant for both the hills and that is h.g. As for hill one a = g.sin(theta1) and s = h/(sin(theta1)). Similarly for second hill a = g.sin(theta2) and s = h/(sin(theta2))
So B option is correct.

45) B. Kinetic energy of the sled at the bottom will be same for both the hills as speed at the bottom is same.

46) A. Using the reasoning as given in answer of que no 44 above, speed of the sled at the bottom for the higher but less steep hill is greater.

46a) Speed of the sled at the bottom for the higher but less steep hill will be greater. Because sled sliding from higher hill have more potential energy initially which will be converting into kinetic energy compare to other one. we can show it using third equation of motion also.

v^2 = 2.a.s, (u = 0).

For hill one (which has more hieght), a1 = g.sin(theta1) and s1 = h1/(sin(theta1)). sin(theta1) will be h1/s1. From here we find that a1.s1 = h1.g Similarly for second hill (original one) a2 = g.sin(theta2) and s2 = h/(sin(theta2)) and sin(theta2) = h/s2. a2.s2 = h.g . Now as h1 is greater than h, velocity v1 will be more hence speed.

47) A. The kinetic energy of the sled at the bottom is greater for higher but less steep hill. It can be concluded easily as for higher hill velocity at the bottom will be more compare to other one.
