Question

1- Suppose that a qudratic fit to a position plot yelds the followig fit results:
y = 4.97x2 +1.53x + 0.0503. From this fit result:

A) determine the acceleration due the gravity of the particle.

B) determie the initial velocity of the particle.

2) plot the position of a particle as afunction of time for an object dropped from rest for the time of 0 seconds to 1.2 seconds i time intervals of 0.2 seconds ( a total of seven points)

3) Suppose that the acceleration due to gravity was measured in a free fall expirment to be ( 9.777± 0.252). does this value agree with the ucertainty with the given value for the acceleration due to gravity in Mobile, Alabama?

*( Acceleration Gravity i Mobile,Al g= 9.793394.

Explanation / Answer

1.

y = 4.97x2 +1.53x + 0.0503

a)

taking derivative both side relative to 'x'

dy/dx = 4.97 (2) x + 1.53

taking derivative both side relative to 'x' aagain

d2y/dx2 = 4.97 (2)

a = 9.94 m/s2

b)

Velocity of the particle is given as

V = dy/dx = 4.97 (2) x + 1.53

at X =0

V = 1.53 m/s
