3 AP PHYSICS C: MECHANICS FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS Mech. 3. Some physics stuents buil a catapult, as shown above. The suppoting platfom is fie fimly to the goun. The pojectile, of mass kg, is place in cup A at one en of the otating am. A counteweight bucket B that is to be loae with vaious masses geate than kg is locate at the othe en of the am. The am is elease fom the hoizontal position, shown in Figue, an begins otating. Thee is a mechanism (not shown) that stops the am in the vetical position, allowing the pojectile to be launche with a hoizontal velocity as shown in Figue. (a) The stuents loa five iffeent masses in the counteweight bucket, elease the catapult, an measue the esulting istance tavele by the kg pojectile, ecoing the following ata. Mass (kg) 3 5 7 9 (m) 8 37 45 48 5 i. The ata ae plotte on the aes below. Sketch a best-fit cuve fo these ata points. ii.

3 AP PHYSICS C: MECHANICS FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS (b) The stuents assume that the mass of the otating am, the cup, an the counteweight bucket can be neglecte. With this assumption, they evelop a theoetical moel fo as a function of the counteweight mass using the elationship = u t, whee u is the hoizontal velocity of the pojectile as it leaves the cup an t is the time afte launch. i. How many secons afte leaving the cup will the pojectile stike the goun? ii. Deive the equation that escibes the gavitational potential enegy of the system elative to the goun when in the position shown in Figue, assuming the mass in the counteweight bucket is M. iii. Deive the equation fo the velocity of the pojectile as it leaves the cup, as shown in Figue. (c) i. Complete the theoetical moel by witing the elationship fo as a function of the counteweight mass using the esults fom (b)i an (b)iii. ii.
