A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other along a straight, level track.When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other’s train and applies the brakes.The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s2. Is there a collision? If so, answer yes and give the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train at impact, respectively. If not, answer no and give the separation between the trains when they stop
Georgia, standing on the back of the pick-up truck, wants to throw her last piece of balut to her mortal enemy, Emma. before the truck started moving, the two women are separated by a distance of 2 m. For two seconds, the truck uniformly accelerated until it reached a velocity of 4 m/s which it then maintained. With hatred, Georgia throws the last piece of balut with a velocity of 12.5 m/s at an angle of 40° from horizontal, measured relative to the truck. If she makes the throw 2.8 seconds after the truck started moving, will she be able to hit Emma? Note that Emma is at rest due to exhaustion from their earlier fight and she cannot dodge the balut. Set your origin at point A. Neglect air resistance.
Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms. a) Calculate the velocity of the ball just after it is struck b) What is the 0.0450 kg ball's change in momentum?
A farm truck travels due east with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s along a horizontal road. A boy riding in the back of the truck tosses a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.40) and catches it at the same location in the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. Ignore any effects of air resistance. (a) At what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can, relative to the moving truck? (b) What is the cans initial speed relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the cans trajectory as seen by the boy? (d) What is the shape of the cans trajectory as seen by a stationary observer on the ground? (e) What is the initial velocity of the can, relative to the stationary observer? Figure P3.40
A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) If it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative to the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind? (b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will he take to return 6.00 km? (c) Discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.
Two trains travel on parallel tracks in the same direction. The first train has a length of 100m and velocity of 200kph. The second train has a length of 120m and velocity of 250kph. Their clear distance is initially 800 meters. (Hint: Solve for the relative velocity of two bodies) How long will it take for the second train to reach the rear of the firstHow long will it take for their front to be abreast.How long will it take for the second train to fully overtake the first.
Two trains, one training at 72.0km/h and the other at 144km/h, are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. when they are 1100m apart, each engineer sees the other;s train and applies the brakes. This causes each train to have an acceleration against the train direction of motion with the magnitude of 1.00 m/s^2. Calculate the distance required for each train to come to a complete stop and based on this result conclude whether there will be a collision? Calculate the time required for each train to come to a stop.
14.53 A ball is thrown vertically downward with an initial speed of v0 at a height of 2m above the floor and rebounds from the floor to the same height of 2m before falling downward again. If e=0.7 between the ball and the floor determine the value of v0.
A farm truck moves due east with a constant velocity of 9.50 m/s on a limitless, horizontal stretch of road. A boy riding on the back of the truck throws a can of soda upward (Fig. P3.54) and catches the projectile at the same location on the truck bed, but 16.0 m farther down the road. (a) In the frame of reference of the truck, at what angle to the vertical does the boy throw the can? (b) What is the initial speed of the can relative to the truck? (c) What is the shape of the can’s trajectory as seen by the boy? An observer on the ground watches the boy throw the can and catch it. In this observer’s frame of reference, (d) describe the shape of the can’s path and (e) determine the initial velocity of the can.
Mr. M's truck at a velocity of 14m/s [E]. At an exact instant, he sees his friend, Mr. T 35m away from him ([E] direction). At that instant when Mr. M measures Mr. T to be 35m away, Mr. M throws a ball straight up with the intent to hit Mr. T's head. What initial speed should he throw a ball (assuming he throws it straight up) to hit Mr. T? (assume Mr. T's head is level with where Mr. M releases the snowball)
