If you are not happy with your timing effort, click on the curling stone to reset the system
Otherwise, find the velocity and KE energy of the stone and check your work
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the distance traveled
The curling stone starts at the 0 m mark and stops near the 10 m mark. The question implies the stone stops right at the 10m mark. Therefore, the total distance traveled is 10 m.
Step 2: Find the time taken
The problem requires a time value to determine the velocity. However, the time information is missing from the provided image. Assuming the time taken is 't' seconds.
Step 3: Calculate the velocity
Velocity is defined as distance divided by time. In this case, the distance is 10 m and the time is 't' seconds. Therefore, the velocity (v) is:
\(v = \frac{10}{t}\) m/s
Step 4: Find the mass of the curling stone
The mass of the curling stone is not provided in the given image. We'll assume the mass is 'm' kg. A standard curling stone has a mass between 17.24 kg and 19.96 kg.
Step 5: Calculate the kinetic energy
Kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula: KE = (1/2) * m * v^2. Substituting the velocity calculated in Step 3, we have:
\(KE = \frac{1}{2} * m * (\frac{10}{t})^2 = \frac{50m}{t^2}\) J
Final Answer
Velocity: \\( \boxed{v = \frac{10}{t} \text{ m/s}} \\) (where 't' is the time taken in seconds)
Kinetic Energy: \\( \boxed{KE = \frac{50m}{t^2} \text{ J}} \\) (where 't' is the time in seconds and 'm' is the mass of the curling stone in kg)
