A ball accelerates uniformly as it rolls 20 cm down a ramp, starting from rest, in 2 seconds.

What are its average velocity, final velocity and acceleration?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

'ds= 20cm

v0=0

'dt=2

'ds=(v0+vf)/2 * 'dt

20cm=(0cm/s+vf)/2 * 2s

40cm=0cm/s +vf *2s

40cm/2s-0cm/s=vf

vf=20cm/s

a='dv/'dt

a= 20cm/s/2s = 10cm/s^2

vave= (20cm/s + 0cm/s)/2 = 10cm/s

If the time interval is in error so that it is 3% longer than the actual time interval, then what are the

actual values of the final velocity and acceleration?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

3% increase of 2seconds = .03 * 2= 1.94seconds

vf=40cm/1.94s

vf=20.61cm/s

a=20cm/s/1.94s = 10.31cm/s^2

Your `dv would be based on the initial velocity (zero) and the final velocity (which you calculated correctly to be 20.61 cm/s.

#$&*

What is the percent error in each?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

vf= 20cm/s/20.61cm/s

97 percent

a= 10cm/s^2 / 10.31cm/s^2

97 percent

If the percent error is the same for both velocity and acceleration, explain why this must be so.

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

The percent error is the same for both velocity and acceleration because they are both calculated by the

same time interval even though they are independent of each other they are both dependent on the amount of

time that it for an object to travel.

????????I am still a little confused aboutt he percent error for the acceleration, should I have calulated the change in velocity with the 3 percent error first and then divided that by the change in time to get the 6% error??? I was confused on the soltion for this??

If the percent errors are different explain why it must be so.
