Test II. Problem-Solving

Directions: Calculate the given problem below and show your solution in an answer sheet. (5 points each)

31-35. Considering vertical motion; a ball is released at a certain height. Its initial velocity is zero and the time
of falling is 0.85 seconds. What is the height of the ball before it was released?
Given: viy=0 ; t=0.85s
Find: dy
Solution: dy = viyt + ½ gt2
dy = 0 (0.85s) + ½ (9.8 m/s2 ) (0.85s) 2
dy = 0 + ½ (9.8 m/s2 ) (0.7225s 2)
dy = (9.8 m/s2 ) (0.7225 s2) ÷ 2
dy = 7.0805 m ÷ 2
dy = 3.54025 m

36-40. From rest, a car accelerated at 10 m/s2 for 15 seconds. What is the final velocity of the car at the end of
15 seconds?
Given: a=10 m/s2 ; vi= 0 ;t=15s
Find: vf
Solution: vf= vi + at vf=0 + (10m/s2)(15s) vf=150m/s

40-45. Jaypee’s mass is 39 kg. He leaps on the river at 2.35 m/s velocity. Solve for his momentum.
Given: m=39kg ; v=2.35 m/s
Find: p
Solution: p=mv p= (39kg)(2.35m/s) p=91.65 kgm/s

46-50. A train brakes from 50 m/s to a stop over a distance of 120 m. Compute the acceleration of the train?
Given: vi= 50 m/s ; vf= 0 ; d=120m
Find: a
v 2 f −v 2 i 0 – (50 m/ s)2 0−2500 m 2/s 2 −2500 m2/ s 2
Solution: a= a= a= a=
2d 2(120 m) 240 m 240 m
