One of Aesop’s fables tells of a race between a tortoiseand a hare. Suppose the overconfident hare takes a napand wakes up to find the tortoise a distance d ahead and a distanceL from the finish line. If the hare then begins runningwith constant speed v 1 and the tortoise continues crawling withconstant speed v 2, it turns out that the tortoise wins the race ifthe distance L is less than (v 2 /(v 1 -v 2))d. Obtain this resultby first writing expressions for the times taken by the hare andthe tortoise to finish the race, and then noticing that to win,t tortoise <t hare. Assume v2 <v1.
Starting from rest, the acceleration of particle, which is confined to move along astraight line, is given by a = 56t 2 − 33t − 9, where x is in meters and t is inseconds. Determine (a) the time required for the particle to reach a velocity of61m/s from its initial condition at t=0, (b) the acceleration of the particle whenv=25m/s, and (c) the net displacement of the particle during the interval from t=1sto t=4s.
A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pondwhen an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0 s, the first player makesup his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformlyat 4.0 m/s2, (a) how long does it take him to catch his opponent,and (b) how far has he traveled in that time? (Assumethe player with the puck remains in motion at constant speed.)
a parachutist opens his chute at time t=0, while falling vertically at a speed of 50.0 m/s. From the combined effects of gravity and air resistance, he is subject to anupward acceleration of ay= (40/T)e-t/T where T=6.8s. Find the parachutist's speed 10s after the chute is opened and the distance fallen during that period of time.
A particle travels, to the right, at a constant rate, of 6.5m/s. It, suddenly, is given a vertical acceleration of 3.2m/s22, for 3.9s. What is its direction of travel, after the acceleration, with respect to the horizontal? Answer between -180 and +180. What is the speed at this time? Answer in units of m/s.
