3. In this question you will do some algebra to determine two relations that you will need for Part 2 of this lab. Write down Eq. 11 twice. In the first statement, set the rotational kinetic energy term equal to zero (i.e. lw? = 0) –- call this your "No Krot model". Leave the second as it is written in Eq. 11– call this your "Krot model". For both models, solve for v in terms of g, h, and a. In the Krot model, you will need to use I (Eq. 3) and w = KMR2 /r. The solution for the Krot model will have a k term as well. Once you have solved for v, use the kinematic relation, v = and the trigonometric relationship, h both models separately. at, = L sin 0, solve for t for NOTE: L is the length of the incline plane. NOTE: a is different for the two models (refer to the "Rotational Mechanics" discussion in the introduction): In the "No Kpot model", a = g sin 0 (remember the Newton's 2nd Law lab) In the "Krot model", a is given by equation 8 These two solutions represent the predicted time it…
If a sprinter running at a speed of 10 meters per second could convert his/her kinetic energy into upward motion, how high could he/she jump? h = (10 m/s)^2 / (2 * 9.80 m/s^2) = 5.102 m. (Why do we multiply 2 * 9.80 in this equation?) Im trying to figure out why we multiply 2 times 9.8

One car has 3 times the mass of a second car, but only 1/5 times the kinetic energy of the second. When both cars increase their speed by 15.3 m/s they then have the same kinetic energy. What was the original speed of the first car? (Your result must be in units of m/s and include 2 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer.)
Need some explanation of from getting to the final answer with switching over the values!!! Thank you so much!
You have learned how to calculate speed now in a number of different ways. In this question, you are to solve the same problem using (a) the law of conservation of energy and energy conversions and (b) those famous 5 kinematics equations...here is the problem: Mr. Kambo has decided to pay the exorbitant amount of money it costs to fly to the moon – it has been on his bucket list forever!! Being allowed out of the space craft, Mr. Kambo goes exploring reaching a cliff 34.5 m high overlooking the landing area. He decides to jump off the cliff testing out the fact that the gravity on the moon is 1/6th of that on Earth. Calculate his speed of decent, just before he reaching the lunar surface.
