In Fig. 4-48a, a sled moves in the negative X direction at constant speedvswhile a ball of ice is shot from the sled with a velocityv⇶Ä0=v0xi^+v0yj^relative to the sled. When the ball lands its horizontal displacement∆xbgrelative to the ground (from its launch position to its landing position) is measured. Figure 4-48bgives∆xbgas a function ofvs. Assume the ball lands at approximately its launch height. What are the values of (a)v0xand (b)voy? The ball’s displacement∆xbsrelative to the sled can also be measured. Assume that the sled’s velocity is not changed when the ball is shot. What is∆xbswhenvsis (c)and (d) 15.0 m/s?

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The launching velocity of the ice ball relative to sled:V0s=V0xi^+V0yj^

02

Understanding the concept of the relative motion

When two frames of reference Pand Qare traveling relative to each other at a constant velocity, the velocity of a particleAas measured by an observer in frame Pusually differs from that measured in frame Q. The relation between two measured velocities is,

V→AP=V→AQ+V→QP

HereV→QP is the velocity of Q with respect to P.

Using the relative motion concept, we can find the magnitude and the direction of the resultant vector.

Formulae:

The second equation of the kinematic motion, ∆y=Vyt-12gt2 (i)

The displacement of a body, x=vt (ii)

03

a) Calculation of the magnitude of the velocity

The velocity of sled relative to the groundVsgcan be written in the vector notation as,

V⇶Äsg=-Vsi^

The launching velocity of the ice ball relative to sled,Vos⇶Ä=V0xi^+V0yj^

So, the launching velocity of the ice ball relative to sled using the given equation can be written as follows:

Vos⇶Ä=V0x-Vsi^+V0yj^Vogy=V0x-VsandVogy=Voy

The horizontal displacement of the ball is given as:

∆Xbg=V0X-Vst.....................a

The vertical displacement of the ball is given suing equation (i) and the given data as:

∆Ybg=Voyt-12gt20=Voyt-12gt2Voyt-12gt2t=2Voyg..............................1

Putting this value for t in the equation (a) forXogwe get,

∆Xbg=2VoxVoyg-2VoyVsg

From graph, we can get the above value as follows:

∆Xbg=40-4Vs...........................b

Comparing these two equations (a) and (b) from part (a) calculations for, we can write that,

2Voyg=4Voy=4g2

Substitute the given values.

Voy=49.82=19.6m/s

Now, the velocity vector of the x-component can be calculated as:

2V0xVoyg=40V0x=40g2V0y

Substitute the given values.

V0x=409.8m/s2219.6m/s=10m/s

Hence, the value of the velocity is 10 m/s.

04

b) Calculation of the magnitude of the velocity

So, from part (a) calculations, we can get that the value of the velocity is 19.6 m/s.

05

c) Calculation of the distance at 5 m/s

The distance∆Xbsis independent of the speed of the sled.

Thus, the distance value can be given using equations (ii) and (1) as follows:

∆Xbs=10×2Voyg

Substitute the given values.

∆Xbs=10×2×19.6m/s9.8m/s2=10×4=40m

Hence, the value of the distance at this given speed is 40m.

06

d) Calculation of the distance at 15 m/s

The distance∆Xbs is independent of the speed of the sled.

So, the value of distance at this given speed is 40 m.
