A ball is launched up a semicircular chute with radius 0.57 m in such a way that at the top of the chute, just before it leaves, the ball has a radial acceleration of magnitude 12.4 m/s^2.


How far from the bottom of the chute does the ball land?

Answer:

[tex]D=1.15608m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of chute [tex]r=0.57[/tex]

Magnitude of radial acceleration [tex]a_r=12.4m/s^2[/tex]

Generally the equation for the centripetal acceleration is mathematically given by

[tex]a_r=\frac{v^2}{R}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{0.57*12.4}[/tex]

[tex]v=2.4m/s[/tex]

Generally the equation for the motion is mathematically given by

[tex]S= ut +0.5at^2[/tex]

[tex]t^2= \frac{S-ut}{1/2a}[/tex]

[tex]t^2= \frac{(2*0.57)-0}{1/2*9.8}[/tex]

[tex]t^2= 0.232[/tex]

[tex]t= \sqrt{ 0.232}[/tex]

[tex]t= 0.4817sec[/tex]

Generally the equation for the distance traveled is mathematically given by

[tex]D=vt[/tex]

[tex]D=0.4817sec*2.4m/s[/tex]

[tex]D=1.15608m[/tex]
