In the lab we saw that we are making the cart move with the help of a battery powered fan attached on the cart. Suppose the track is nearly frictionless and very long. We turn on the fan, let it run for sometime, then turn it off. We see that the cart O gradually slows down and comes to a stop. O gradually slows down and continues with constant velocity. O just continues with constant velocity slows down, stops, then starts going in the opposite direction.

A cyclist travels from point A to point B in 10 mm. During the first 2.0 mm of her trip, she maintains a uniform acceleration of 0.090m/s2 . She then travels at constant velocity for the next 5.0 nun. Next, she decelerates at a constant rate so that she cons to a rest at point B 3.0 mm later. (a) Sketch the velocity-versus-tine graph for the trip. (b) What is the acceleration during the last 3 mm? (c) How far does the cyclist travel?
A truck is traveling east at 80 km/h. At an intersection 32 km ahead, a car is traveling north at 50 km/h. (a) How long after this moment will the vehicles be closest to each other? (b) How far apart will they be at that point?
A child is practicing for a BMX race. His speed remains constant as he goes counterclockwise around a level track with two nearly straight sections and two nearly semicircular sections, as shown in the aerial view of Figure CQ7.12. (a) What are the directions of his velocity at points A, B, and C? For each point, choose one: north, south, east, west, or nonexistent, (b) What are the directions of his acceleration at points A, B, and C? Figure CQ7.12
A rotating fan completes 1160 revolutions every minute. Consider the tip of a blade, at a radius of 18.0 cm. (a) Through what distance does the tip move in one revolution? What are (b) the tip's speed and (c) the magnitude of its acceleration? (d) What is the period of the motion?
Shown is a graph of the motion of the blades of a blender that is starts empty and is initially turned off. Then the power is turned on at thehighest speed setting, some ice cubes are added, and the blades slow down. The blades are 3.0 cm long.a. When the blender is empty and running at high speed, how much time is required for a blade to turn by 90°?b. How many revolutions does a blade complete between 15 and 20 seconds?c. How fast is the tip of a blade moving when the blender is running empty?
Two motorcycles are at rest and separated by 24.5 ft. They start atthe same time in the same direction, the one in the back having anacceleration of 3 ft. per sec2, the one in the front going slower at anacceleration of 2 ft. per sec2.(a) How long does it take for the faster cycle to overtake the slower?(b)How far does the faster machine go before it catches up?(c) How fast is each cycle going at this time?
2. A rocket on a launchpad lifts off by accelerating at 15 m/s2 straight up until its enginefails 2.0 min later.(a.} What is the maximum speed achieved by the rocket as it travels upward?(b.) How far up does the rocket travel on engine power?(c.} How much higher does the rocket travel after the engine fails?(d.} What is the peak height reached by rocket?(e.} What is the speed and direction of the rocket when it is traveling the fastest?(f.)

Two students are canoeing on a river. While heading upstream, they accidentally drop an empty bottle overboard. They then continue paddling for 60 minutes, reaching a point 2.0 km farther upstream. At this point they realize that the bottle is missing and, driven by ecological awareness, they turn around and head downstream. They catch up with and retrieve the bottle (which has been moving along with the current) 5.0 km downstream from the turnaround point. (a) Assuming a constant paddling effort throughout, how fast is the river flowing? (b) What would the canoe speed in a still lake be for the same paddling effort?
The single cable supporting an unoccupied construction elevator breaks when the elevator is at rest at the top of a 120-m-high building. (a) With what speed does the elevator strike the ground? (b) How long is it falling? (c) What is its speed when it passes the halfway point on the way down? (d) How long has it been falling when it passes the halfway point?
on december 25, 2004, during a NASA mission to Saturn, the spacecraft Cassini released a probe named Huygens, which landed on the Saturnian moon titan on January 14, 2005. huygens was released from the main spacecraft at a gentle relative speed of 31 cm/s. As Huygens moved away, it rotated at a rate of 7 revolutions per minute.(a) How many revolutions had huygens completed when it was 150m from Cassini? (b) How far did Huygens moved away from cassini during each revolution? give your answer in meters
A bungee jumper falls for 1.3s before the bungee cord begins to stretch. Until the jumper has bounced back up to this height, the elastic cord causes the jumper to have an average acceleration upward of 4m/s2. a.How fast is the jumper going when the bungee cord begins to stretch? b.How far below the diving platform is the jumper at that moment? c.How long after the hunger cord begins to stretch does the jumper reach me low point of the drop? d.How far below the diving platform is the jumper at the instant the speed is zero?
A truck started with 8 m/s and then speeded up to reach at a certain place in 1 hr with 0.005 m/s^2. (a) What is its final speed? (b) How far will it go?
