QUESTION 1: GENERAL

1.1 Define momentum.

Momentum is a measure of the mass in motion. It is a vector quantity, calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

1.2 Distinguish between angular velocity and angular acceleration.

  • Angular velocity (ω\omega) is the rate at which an object rotates or revolves relative to another point, measured in radians per second (rad/s). It describes how fast the angular position changes.
  • Angular acceleration (α\alpha) is the rate of change of angular velocity, measured in radians per second squared (rad/s2^2). It describes how fast the angular velocity changes.

1.3 State Hooke's law.

Hooke's law states that the force (FF) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (xx) is directly proportional to that distance, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically, F=kxF = kx, where kk is the spring constant.

1.4 Distinguish between elasticity and limit of proportionality.

  • Elasticity is the property of a material to return to its original shape and size after the deforming force has been removed.
  • Limit of proportionality is the point on a stress-strain curve beyond which stress is no longer directly proportional to strain. Up to this limit, Hooke's law is obeyed.

QUESTION 2: KINEMATICS

2.1 Calculate the velocity of vehicle A relative to vehicle B.

  1. Define the velocity vectors for Vehicle A and Vehicle B.

    Let the positive x-axis be East and the positive y-axis be North.
    Vehicle A: vA=105 km/hv_A = 105 \text{ km/h} northwest. This means 45∘45^\circ north of west, or 135∘135^\circ from the positive x-axis.

    v⃗A=(105cos⁡135∘)i^+(105sin⁡135∘)j^\vec{v}_A = (105 \cos 135^\circ) \hat{i} + (105 \sin 135^\circ) \hat{j} v⃗A=(105×−22)i^+(105×22)j^\vec{v}_A = (105 \times -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) \hat{i} + (105 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) \hat{j} v⃗A≈−74.246i^+74.246j^ km/h\vec{v}_A \approx -74.246 \hat{i} + 74.246 \hat{j} \text{ km/h}

    Vehicle B: vB=115 km/hv_B = 115 \text{ km/h} directly east.

    v⃗B=115i^+0j^ km/h\vec{v}_B = 115 \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} \text{ km/h}
  2. Calculate the relative velocity v⃗A/B=v⃗A−v⃗B\vec{v}_{A/B} = \vec{v}_A - \vec{v}_B.

    v⃗A/B=(−74.246i^+74.246j^)−(115i^)\vec{v}_{A/B} = (-74.246 \hat{i} + 74.246 \hat{j}) - (115 \hat{i}) v⃗A/B=(−74.246−115)i^+74.246j^\vec{v}_{A/B} = (-74.246 - 115) \hat{i} + 74.246 \hat{j} v⃗A/B=−189.246i^+74.246j^ km/h\vec{v}_{A/B} = -189.246 \hat{i} + 74.246 \hat{j} \text{ km/h}
  3. Calculate the magnitude of the relative velocity.

    ∣v⃗A/B∣=(−189.246)2+(74.246)2|\vec{v}_{A/B}| = \sqrt{(-189.246)^2 + (74.246)^2} ∣v⃗A/B∣=35813.9+5512.4|\vec{v}_{A/B}| = \sqrt{35813.9 + 5512.4} ∣v⃗A/B∣=41326.3≈203.289 km/h|\vec{v}_{A/B}| = \sqrt{41326.3} \approx 203.289 \text{ km/h}
  4. Calculate the direction of the relative velocity.

    Let ϕ\phi be the angle with the negative x-axis (West).

    tan⁡ϕ=∣y-component∣∣x-component∣=74.246189.246≈0.39233\tan \phi = \frac{|y\text{-component}|}{|x\text{-component}|} = \frac{74.246}{189.246} \approx 0.39233 ϕ=arctan⁡(0.39233)≈21.42∘\phi = \arctan(0.39233) \approx 21.42^\circ

    The direction is 21.4∘21.4^\circ North of West.
    Rounding to three significant figures:
    Magnitude: 203 km/h\boxed{\text{203 km/h}}
    Direction: 21.4∘ North of West\boxed{\text{21.4}^\circ \text{ North of West}}

    2.2 Calculate the resulting velocity in magnitude and direction.

  5. Define the velocity vectors for the ship and the current.

    Let the positive x-axis be East and the positive y-axis be North.
    Ship velocity in still water: vS=95 km/hv_S = 95 \text{ km/h} south-east. This means 45∘45^\circ south of east, or −45∘-45^\circ (or 315∘315^\circ) from the positive x-axis.

    v⃗S=(95cos⁡(−45∘))i^+(95sin⁡(−45∘))j^\vec{v}_S = (95 \cos(-45^\circ)) \hat{i} + (95 \sin(-45^\circ)) \hat{j} v⃗S=(95×22)i^+(95×−22)j^\vec{v}_S = (95 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) \hat{i} + (95 \times -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) \hat{j} v⃗S≈67.175i^−67.175j^ km/h\vec{v}_S \approx 67.175 \hat{i} - 67.175 \hat{j} \text{ km/h}

    Current velocity: vC=20 km/hv_C = 20 \text{ km/h} E 25∘25^\circ N. This means 25∘25^\circ north of east.

    v⃗C=(20cos⁡25∘)i^+(20sin⁡25∘)j^\vec{v}_C = (20 \cos 25^\circ) \hat{i} + (20 \sin 25^\circ) \hat{j} v⃗C≈(20×0.9063)i^+(20×0.4226)j^\vec{v}_C \approx (20 \times 0.9063) \hat{i} + (20 \times 0.4226) \hat{j} v⃗C≈18.126i^+8.452j^ km/h\vec{v}_C \approx 18.126 \hat{i} + 8.452 \hat{j} \text{ km/h}
  6. Calculate the resulting velocity v⃗resultant=v⃗S+v⃗C\vec{v}_{resultant} = \vec{v}_S + \vec{v}_C.

    v⃗resultant=(67.175i^−67.175j^)+(18.126i^+8.452j^)\vec{v}_{resultant} = (67.175 \hat{i} - 67.175 \hat{j}) + (18.126 \hat{i} + 8.452 \hat{j}) v⃗resultant=(67.175+18.126)i^+(−67.175+8.452)j^\vec{v}_{resultant} = (67.175 + 18.126) \hat{i} + (-67.175 + 8.452) \hat{j} v⃗resultant=85.301i^−58.723j^ km/h\vec{v}_{resultant} = 85.301 \hat{i} - 58.723 \hat{j} \text{ km/h}
  7. Calculate the magnitude of the resulting velocity.

    ∣v⃗resultant∣=(85.301)2+(−58.723)2|\vec{v}_{resultant}| = \sqrt{(85.301)^2 + (-58.723)^2} ∣v⃗resultant∣=7276.26+3448.39|\vec{v}_{resultant}| = \sqrt{7276.26 + 3448.39} ∣v⃗resultant∣=10724.65≈103.559 km/h|\vec{v}_{resultant}| = \sqrt{10724.65} \approx 103.559 \text{ km/h}
  8. Calculate the direction of the resulting velocity.

    Let ϕ\phi be the angle with the positive x-axis (East).

    tan⁡ϕ=∣y-component∣∣x-component∣=58.72385.301≈0.68842\tan \phi = \frac{|y\text{-component}|}{|x\text{-component}|} = \frac{58.723}{85.301} \approx 0.68842 ϕ=arctan⁡(0.68842)≈34.54∘\phi = \arctan(0.68842) \approx 34.54^\circ

    Direction: 34.5∘ South of East\boxed{\text{34.5}^\circ \text{ South of East}}

    2.3 Projectile motion: A boy throws a cricket ball at an angle of 20∘20^\circ to the horizontal with an initial velocity of 45 m/s45 \text{ m/s}.

    Given: v0=45 m/sv_0 = 45 \text{ m/s}, θ=20∘\theta = 20^\circ. Assume g=9.81 m/s2g = 9.81 \text{ m/s}^2.

    Using t≈1.5688 st \approx 1.5688 \text{ s} from 2.3.1:

    ymax=(15.39 m/s)(1.5688 s)−12(9.81 m/s2)(1.5688 s)2y_{max} = (15.39 \text{ m/s})(1.5688 \text{ s}) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81 \text{ m/s}^2)(1.5688 \text{ s})^2 ymax=24.148 m−12(9.81)(2.4612) my_{max} = 24.148 \text{ m} - \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2.4612) \text{ m} ymax=24.148 m−12.073 my_{max} = 24.148 \text{ m} - 12.073 \text{ m} ymax≈12.075 my_{max} \approx 12.075 \text{ m}

    Alternatively, using vy2=v0y2−2gymaxv_y^2 = v_{0y}^2 - 2gy_{max}:

    02=(15.39 m/s)2−2(9.81 m/s2)ymax0^2 = (15.39 \text{ m/s})^2 - 2(9.81 \text{ m/s}^2)y_{max} ymax=(15.39)22×9.81=236.852119.62 my_{max} = \frac{(15.39)^2}{2 \times 9.81} = \frac{236.8521}{19.62} \text{ m} ymax≈12.072 my_{max} \approx 12.072 \text{ m}

    Rounding to three significant figures:

    12.1 m\boxed{\text{12.1 m}}
    2.3.3 The horizontal displacement of the ball.
  11. Calculate the total time of flight.

    The total time of flight is twice the time to reach maximum height.

    Ttotal=2×tmax=2×1.5688 s=3.1376 sT_{total} = 2 \times t_{max} = 2 \times 1.5688 \text{ s} = 3.1376 \text{ s}
  12. Calculate the horizontal displacement (range) using the horizontal velocity and total time.

    R=v0x×TtotalR = v_{0x} \times T_{total} R=42.2865 m/s×3.1376 sR = 42.2865 \text{ m/s} \times 3.1376 \text{ s} R≈132.65 mR \approx 132.65 \text{ m}
