Chapter 1.1, Problem 2dT
D. Review your earlier interpretation of the speed for your small tape segment. (See section I.)
Is that interpretation valid for the entire motion that generated the tape?
Based on the speed for your piece of tape, could you successfully predict how far the object would move in:
How can you modify the interpretation of the speed so that it applies even to motion with varying speed?
What name is given to a speed that is interpreted in this way?

You will roll a ball down an inclined plane (a track with one end propped). The ball will fly off the end of the inclined plane and undergo projectile motion until it hits the ground. At the moment the ball is leaving the inclined plane, a photogate detector measures the time the ball takes to pass through the gate. Using the diameter f the ball and the photogate time, you can calculate the speed of the ball when it passed through the photogate. Based on the angle of the inclined plane, the initial speed for the projectile motion, and the distance the ball falls (Ay in figure), you should be able to predict the horizontal distance (Ax in figure) and compare it to your measured horizontal distance. 41cm Ball 121cm Inced Plane Table Inclined plane angle = sin ^-1 (41cm/121 cm) = 19.81° Ball diameter = 0.013 m Delta Y= 76 cm=0.76 m Time (s) Velocity (m/s) Delta X (m) 0.00707 0.184 0.654…arrow_forwardPart A The 5.0-m-long rope in (Figure 1) hangs vertically from a tree right at the edge of a ravine.
