Part A:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[v_{1} = \sqrt{2gh}\] | The speed of the ball just after it first bounces off the plane at \(P_1\) is the same as it was before the bounce due to energy conservation. The initial speed when it contacts the plane is derived from potential energy being converted into kinetic energy. |
Part B:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[\Delta y = -\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}\] | The vertical displacement \(\Delta y\) as the ball travels in projectile motion is given by this equation. |
| 2 | \[\Delta x = \sqrt{2gh} \cdot t\] | The horizontal displacement \(\Delta x\) as the ball travels horizontally with initial velocity \(v_{x} = \sqrt{2gh}\). |
| 3 | \[-\frac{1}{2} g t^{2} = -\sqrt{2gh} \cdot t\] | The condition for the ball to land on the 45-degree inclined plane again is \(\Delta y = -\Delta x\). |
| 4 | \[t = \frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g}\] | Solving the above equation for time \(t\), which is the time of flight between \(P_1\) and \(P_2\). |
Part C:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[x = \sqrt{2gh} \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g} = 4h\] | The horizontal position \(x\) relative to \(P_1\) at time \(t\). |
| 2 | \[y = -\frac{1}{2} g \left(\frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g}\right)^{2} = -4h\] | The vertical position \(y\) relative to \(P_1\) at time \(t\). |
| 3 | \[L = \sqrt{(4h)^{2} + (-4h)^{2}} = 4\sqrt{2}h\] | Calculate the distance \(L\) along the plane from \(P_1\) to \(P_2\). |
Part D:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[v_{x} = \sqrt{2gh}\] | The horizontal velocity component \(v_{x}\) just before striking the plane at \(P_2\). |
| 2 | \[v_{y} = -g \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g} = -2\sqrt{2gh}\] | The vertical velocity component \(v_{y}\) just before striking the plane at \(P_2\). |
| 3 | \[v_{2} = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2gh})^{2} + (-2\sqrt{2gh})^{2}} = \sqrt{10gh}\] | Calculate the speed \(v_{2}\) of the ball just before it strikes the plane at \(P_2\). |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
An object is projected vertically upward from ground level. It rises to a maximum height [katex] H [/katex]. If air resistance is negligible, which of the following must be true for the object when it is at a height [katex] H/2 [/katex] ?
An object undergoing simple harmonic motion has a maximum displacement of \(6.2\) \(\text{m}\) at \(t = 0.0\) \(\text{s}\). If the angular frequency of oscillation is \(1.6\) \(\text{rad/s}\), what is the object’s displacement when \(t = 3.5\) \(\text{s}\)?
A stone is thrown horizontally at \(8.0 \, \text{m/s}\) from a cliff \(80 \,\text{m}\) high. How far from the base of the cliff will the stone strike the ground?
The escape speed of an object of mass \( m \) from a planet of mass \( M \) and radius \( r \) depends on the gravitational constant and

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
