The following conversion equivalents are given:1 mile = 5280 ft 1 ft = 12 in 1 m = 39.37 in 1 hour = 60 min 1 min = 60 sA particle has a velocity of 4.7 miles per hour. The velocity, in m/s, is closest to:A) 2.1 B) 1.7 C) 1.9 D) 2.3 E) 2.5
A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the xx-axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation for the turtle's position as a function of time is x(t)=50.0cm+(2.00cm/s)t−(0.0625cm/s2)t2x(t)=50.0cm+(2.00cm/s)t−(0.0625cm/s2)t2. At what time t is the turtle second time a distance of 10.0 cm from its starting point?
Science fiction often uses nautical analogies to describe space travel. If the starship U.S.S. Enterprise is traveling at warp factor 1.71, what is its speed in knots and in miles per hour'? (Warp 1.71 = 5.00 times the speed of light; speed of light = 3.00 x 108 m/s; 1 knot = 2030 yd/h.)
A three-toed sloth is the slowest moving land mammal. On the ground, the sloth moves at an average speed of 0.037 m/sec, considerably slower than the giant tortoise, which walks at 0.076 m/sec. After 12 minutes (720 seconds) of walking, how much further would the tortoise have gone relative to the sloth?
Ranjeet parks his car in a lot on the corner of Park Lane and Main Street. He walks80 m east to First Avenue, turns 30° to the left, and follows First Avenue for 100 m tothe Metro Building, where he takes the elevator to his office on the 15th floor. Eachfloor in the building is 4 m in height. From his office window, Ranjeet can see his carin the lot. How far is Ranjeet from his car, in a straight line? At what angle ofdepression is Ranjeet looking to see his car?
A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m). (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P3.46. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure P3.46
As she picks up her riders, a bus driver traverses four successive displacements represented by the expression (6.30 b)i (4.00 b cos 40)i (4.00 b sin 40)j + (3.00 b cos 50)i (3.00 b sin 50)j (5.00 b)j Here b represents one city block, a convenient unit of distance of uniform size; i is east; and j is north. The displacements at 40 and 50 represent travel on roadways in the city that are at these angles to the main east-west and north-south streets, (a) Draw a map of the successive displacements, (b) What total distance did she travel? (c) Compute the magnitude and direction of her total displacement. The logical structure of this problem and of several problems in later chapters was suggested by Alan Van Heuvelen and David Maloney, American Journal of Physics 67(3) 252-256, March 1999.
A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0 from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface. Figure P3.16
