Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

A rail gun shoots a projectile in a straight line with acceleration aa and in time tt as defined by the equation a(t)=3−2t. If the projectile from the launcher reaches a velocity of 10 at t=1 and if s(t) is the distance of the projectile from the rail gun at time t, find s(5)−s(1)
A regulation volleyball court measures L = 18.0 meters in length and d = 2.43 meters in height. A volleyball player hits the ball from a height of h = 1.50 m just over the backline, and the initial velocity of the ball creates an angle of q = 30° with the ground. At what initial speed must the ball be struck such that it barely clears the net?
A group of students celebrate their first year of medical school with a hot-air balloon ride, which is rising upward with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. When the balloon is 3.50 m above the ground, one of the students who is taking a selfie with the other students accidentally drops her smart phone over the side of the balloon (fortunately with a OtterBox case). With what speed would the phone hit the ground in m/s? Note that the displacement of the phone dropping 3.50 m would be - 3.50 m. For the same situation as Question 9, how long in seconds would the smart phone be in the air before it hits the ground?
Suppose that a ball is thrown straight up in the air, and that a secondball is thrown straight upward two seconds after the first. It reaches thesame maximum height as the first ball, which is 6.00 m.a. What is the position of the first ball as a function of time, y1(t)?Take the initial height of the ball as y0 = 0.b. What is the position of the second ball as a function of time, y2(t)?Take the initial height of the ball as y0 = 0.c. Draw a y − t diagram of y1(t) and y2(t). Label the max heights, timeto max height for the first ball, and note the point corresponding to thetime and height of passing.d. When do the balls pass each other in the air? Assume the balls arebeing throw up adjacent to each other.e. At what height above y0 = 0 do the balls pass each other?f. Can you find the time of passing by just using the y − t diagram?
A sandbag is dropped from a balloon which is ascending vertically at a constant speed of 6 m/s.

From the top of a cliff, a person throws a stone straight downward. The initial speed of the stone just after leaving the person's hand is 8.1 m/s After 0.46 s, how far beneath the top of the cliff is the stone? (Give just the distance fallen, that is, a magnitude.) m
When a ball was allowed to fall from rest from height h, a second ball was thrown up from the ground in the vertical direction. For two balls to meet at height h / 2, what should be the initial velocity of the second ball?
A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
You toss a ball straight up into the air from an initial height of 1 m above the ground and with an initial speed of 3 m/s. How long is the ball in the air before it lands on the ground? (Give your answer in seconds.)
Use a graphing utility to obtain the path of a projectile launched from the ground (h = 0) at the specified values of θ = 35°, v0 = 300 feet per second. In the exercise, use the graph to determine the maximum height and the time at which the projectile reaches its maximum height. Also use the graph to determine the range of the projectile and the time it hits the ground. Round all answers to the nearest tenth.
Which of the following is INCORRECT about projectile motion with the same initial and final elevations? a. The total time of flight is twice the time to reach the maximum height. b. The magnitude of the acceleration at the maximum height is 9.8 m/s2. c. At its maximum height, the velocity of the projectile is zero. d. Only the vertical component of the motion is accelerating.
A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. (See Problem 4.9, page 111 for an investigation of how the fish can leave the water at a higher speed that it can swim underwater.) If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
