I'm having trouble with these 2 questions. I've tried them and come up with solutions but would like someone to check if I have done them properly.
A traditional watch has a second hand 1.5 cm long from the center to the tip.
a) What is the speed of the tip of the second hand?
d = 2Pir
d = 2(3.14)(1.5)
v = d/t
v = 2(3.14)(1.5)/60s
v = 0.157 cm/s
b) what is the velocity of the tip at 15s? 45s? 60?
0.157 cm/s (right)
0.157 cm/s (left)
0.157 cm/s (up)
c) What is the change in velocity between 30s and 45s?
I'm having trouble with this one. Do I use the pythagorean theorem because one is pointing to the left and one is pointing down.
0.157^2 + 0.157^2 - sq root
v = 0.222 cm/s (sw)
A student tosses their pen vertically upward with an intial velocity of 3.8 m/s.
a) Maximum height
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad
0 = 3.8^2 + 2(-9.8)d
d = 0.736735 m
b) How much time will pass before the pen returns to his hand if it is at the same level that he released the pen at?
d = v2t - 1/2at^2
0= (3.8)(t) - 1/2(9.8)t^2
t = 0.775510 s
c) if the student's hand is 1.5 m above the ground and he misses the pen, with what speed will the pen hit the ground.
0.736735 + 1.5 = 2.236735 m
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad
Vf^2 = (0) + 2(9.8)(2.236735)
vf = 6.62117 m/s (down)
Can someone please check these over. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
