physics task
“A falcon flies at a speed of 90 km / h. It brakes to 50 km / h in 0.5 s.
Enter the falcon's deceleration with incorrect estimate "
Hey! 😀
This is the first time I post a question on this website. I was recommended to use Pluggakuten by my teacher :-)
I don’t understand how I’m supposed to solve this question. I’ve tried many times but failed to solve this problem. I would therefore appreciate if you could explain how I’m supposed to think in order to solve this hard question
This is what I have written down in my notebook.
Acceleration (maximum) |
V0= (90+5)/3.6=26.38m/s |
V= (50+5)/3.6=15.27m/s
t= 0.55 seconds
i will use the formula
v=v0+at
15.27=26.38+a*0.55
a(maximum) is approximately-20.2m/s^2
a(minimum)|
v0=23.6m/s
v1=12.5m/s
t=0.45 sekunder
i will use the same formula
12.5=23.6+a*0.45
a is approximately-24.6 m/s^2 .
(-24.6+(-20.2))/2=-22.4 m/s^2
delta a = -20.2-(-22.4)=2.2 m/s^2
Lastly
22.4+- 2.2 m/s^2 . Which is incorrect.
You get the maximum velocity difference of you choose 95 and 45 km/h and if you divide it with the shortest time, you get the maximum acceleration.
You get the minimum velocity difference of you choose 85 and 55 km/h and if you divide it with the longest time, you get the minimum acceleration.
You have the right idea of how to approach a problem like this, you've just gotten some details wrong.
First off, I think that this problem becomes easier if we instead use the formula
We first want to figure out what makes as large as possible. A quotient is at its largest when the numerator is large and the denominator is small. We therefore want to be large and to be small. To make large, we want the difference between and to be as large as possible. This occurs when and such that . We want to be as small as possible, which means we take . What do we then get as our value for ?
Can you carry out a similar approach for ?
I tried but I did not get the right answer.
a(max) = delta v / delta t
the velocity here should be 95km/h which is approximately 26.38 m/S .
I have to divide it with 0.45 s in order to get the maximum acceleration.
a(max) = v(max)/t(min)= 26.38/0.45= 51.95m/s^2 .
a(min) = v(min)/t(max)
v(min) =(50km/h-0.5 km/h)=13.75m/s
t(max)=0.55 s
a(min) = 13.75/0.55=25m/s ^2
~~~~
(25+51.95)/2=38.477m/s^2
delta a = 51.95-38.477=13.477
38.5 +- 13.5 m/s^2 . I can’t go further with my calculations......I’ve stumbled here😩
I have solved the question. Thank you for your help!!
