QuestionThe table below shows the energy of a 10 kg ball as a function of velocity. How much energy will the ball have at 10 m/s10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} ? (Type the number, do not include units in your answer)
Use a matrix to run a quadratic regression \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Velocity (m/s) & Energy (Joules) \\ \hline 0 & 0 \\ \hline 2 & 12 \\ \hline 3 & 27 \\ \hline 6 & 108 \\ \hline 10 & ?? \\ \hline \end{tabular}

STEP 1

1. The relationship between velocity and energy is quadratic.
2. We will use the given data points to perform a quadratic regression.
3. The quadratic equation will be in the form E=av2+bv+c E = av^2 + bv + c .

STEP 2

1. Set up the system of equations using the given data points.
2. Solve the system using matrix methods to find the coefficients a a , b b , and c c .
3. Use the quadratic equation to calculate the energy at 10m/s 10 \, \text{m/s} .

STEP 3

Write the quadratic equation for each data point:
For v=0 v = 0 , E=0 E = 0 : 0=a(0)2+b(0)+c 0 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c c=0 \Rightarrow c = 0
For v=2 v = 2 , E=12 E = 12 : 12=a(2)2+b(2)+c 12 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + c 12=4a+2b+c 12 = 4a + 2b + c
For v=3 v = 3 , E=27 E = 27 : 27=a(3)2+b(3)+c 27 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + c 27=9a+3b+c 27 = 9a + 3b + c
For v=6 v = 6 , E=108 E = 108 : 108=a(6)2+b(6)+c 108 = a(6)^2 + b(6) + c 108=36a+6b+c 108 = 36a + 6b + c

STEP 4

Substitute c=0 c = 0 into the equations:
12=4a+2b 12 = 4a + 2b 27=9a+3b 27 = 9a + 3b 108=36a+6b 108 = 36a + 6b

STEP 5

Convert the equations to matrix form:
[4293366][ab]=[1227108]\begin{bmatrix} 4 & 2 \\ 9 & 3 \\ 36 & 6 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} a \\ b \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 12 \\ 27 \\ 108 \end{bmatrix}

STEP 6

Use matrix methods (e.g., Gaussian elimination or inverse matrix) to solve for a a and b b .
After solving, we find: a=1 a = 1 b=0 b = 0

STEP 7

Substitute a=1 a = 1 , b=0 b = 0 , and c=0 c = 0 into the quadratic equation:
E=1v2+0v+0 E = 1 \cdot v^2 + 0 \cdot v + 0 E=v2 E = v^2
Calculate the energy at v=10m/s v = 10 \, \text{m/s} :
E=102=100 E = 10^2 = 100
The energy at 10m/s 10 \, \text{m/s} is:
100 \boxed{100}
