1. Subscribe to the phy215 list serve. See directions in the course syllabus 2. A jogger runs east for 2 km, south or 3 km, west for 4 km and north for 3 km. The entire run takes 1 hour. a) Sketch the path taken by the jogger.
3. At 200 seconds after liftoff, a high-speed motion picture camera
clocks a high-speed rocket moving at 2 km/sec. At 300 seconds after
liftoff, the rocket is moving at 7 km/sec.
4. Graph the information on Table A. Use your graph for the following
questions
5. With the equipment provided in the laboratory, measure the time it takes for a ball to roll down a ramp with a stopwatch. Make three measurements of the time to roll down the ramp starting the ball in the same place. Calculate the average time to roll down the ramp. Then, start the ball in a different place (higher or lower on the ramp) and measure the time it takes to roll down the ramp from the new height. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 5 different heights. Compete the calculations on Table B. 6. Graph the information on Table C. Use your graph for the following questions. a) Which object traveled farther in the first 3 hours: Object A or Object
B?
7. With the equipment provided in the laboratory, measure the time it take for a ball to roll down 25 cm of the ramp. Do this 3 times. Then measure the time it takes for the ball to roll 50 cm. Do this 3 times also. Use your data to complete table D and calculate the acceleration for this segment of the ramp. Repeat the process rolling the ball 75 cm and finally 100 cm. Again use the data to complete table D--just as far as calculating the average speed for each distance. You do not need to calculate the acceleration for the different distances. 8. What is the force on a 30 kg object accelerating at the rate of 25 meters per second per second?
