A particle of mass 1.05 kg is subject to a force that is always pointed towards the East but whose magnitude changes linearly with time t. The magnitude of the force is given as F = 4t, and has units of newtons. Let the x-axis point towards the East. Determine the change in x-coordinate in meters of the particle Δx between t = 0 and t = 2.4 if the initial velocity is 17.5 m/s, and pointed in the same direction as the force.
Superman must stop a 120-km/h train in 200 m to keep it from hitting a stalled car on the tracks. If the train’s mass is 3 X 105 kg, how much force must he exert? Compare to the weight of the train (give as %). How much force does the train exert on Superman? Solution in handwritten.
According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…
