Document Summary
Ph105 exam 1 solution: the graph in the gure shows the position of an object as a function of time. The letters a-e represent particular moments of time. 0 n o i t i s o. Solution: speed is the absolute value of the slope of the x t curve, so the region with the the largest slope (in magnitude, positive or negative) has the largest speed. That is region c: two objects have masses m and 5m, respectively. Solution: the time it takes depends only on the length of the ramp and acceleration, and is independent of mass: a child on a sled starts from rest at the top of a 15 slope. Assume that frictional forces may be neglected: 147 m, 293 m, 586 m, 1130 m. Given a ramp of angle , the acceleration is +g sin , with the positive direction being down the ramp. With zero initial velocity, we can write the displacement x(t) as.
