Velocity (m/s) vs. Time (s) 10 Time (s) Which statement best describes the motion of the bike over the 18 s? The bike is initially at rest and then goes backwards for 8 s. The bike has a displacement of 4 m in the first 10 s and then slows down until it stops. O The bike travels at a constant speed for 10 s and then slows down until it stops. The bike is initially at rest, and then it slows down until it stops.

Each of the strobe photographs (a), (b), and (c) in Figure P2.13 was taken of a single disk moving toward the right, which we take as the positive direction. Within each photograph the time interval between images is constant. For each photograph, prepare graphs of x versus t, vx versus t, and ax versus t, vertically aligned with their time axes identical, to show the motion of the disk. You will not be able to place numbers other than zero on the axes, but show the correct shapes for the graph lines. Figure P2.13
Land west of the San Andreas fault in southern California is moving at an average velocity of about 6 cm/y northwest relative to land east of the fault. Los Angeles is west of the fault and may thus someday be at the same latitude as San Francisco, which is east of the fault. How far in the future will this occur if the displacement to be made is 590 km northwest, assuming the motion remains constant?
Consider Concept Map 1,1, which provides an overview of motion. Review Sections 1,2 and 1,3 and make a list of at least five additional concepts you could add to the map. Now consider where to place these concepts on the map. Keep in mind that general, more inclusive concepts go towards the top, whereas more specific ideas and examples go toward the bottom. Place your concepts on the map. Draw the possible connections between your five new concepts and the rest of the map. Remember to use "linking words'' to create propositions and to express your ideas clearly. When you've finished updating your map, compare your revised concept map with that of a classmate's. Are they identical? Would you expect them to be?
A spacecraft lands on a newly discovered planet orbiting the star 51 Pegasi. To measure the acceleration from gravity on the planet, an astronaut drops a rock from a height of 2 m. A precision timer indicates that it takes the rock 0.71 s to fall to the surface. What is the acceleration from gravity on this planet?
Which one of the following describes an object in motion? (2.1) (a) A period of time has passed. (b) Its position is known. (c) It is continuously changing position. (d) It has reached its final position.
A woman is reported to have fallen 144 ft from the 17th floor of a building, landing on a metal ventilator box that she crushed to a depth of 18.0 in. She suffered only minor injuries. Ignoring air resistance, calculate (a) the speed of the woman just before she collided with the ventilator and (b) her average acceleration while in contact with the box. (c) Modeling her acceleration as constant, calculate the time interval it took to crush the box.
Speedy Sue, driving at 30.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 155 m ahead traveling at 5.00 m/s. Sue applies her brakes but can accelerate only at 2.00 m/s2 because the road is wet. Will there be a collision? State how you decide. If yes, determine how far into the tunnel and at what time the collision occurs. If no, determine the distance of closest approach between Sues car and the van.
Two thin rods are fastened to the inside of a circular ring as shown in Figure P2.42. One rod of length D is vertical, and the other of length L makes an angle with the horizontal. The two rods and the ring lie in a vertical plane. Two small beads are free to slide without friction along the rods. (a) If the two beads are released from rest simultaneously from the positions shown, use your intuition and guess which bead reaches the bottom first. (b) Find an expression for the time interval required for the red head to fall from point to point in terms of g and D. (c) Find an expression for the time interval required for the blue bead to slide from point to point in terms of g, L, and . (d) Show that the two time intervals found in parts (b) and (c) are equal. Hint: What is the angle between the chords of the circle and ? (e) Do these results surprise you? Was your intuitive guess in part (a) correct? This problem was inspired by an article by Thomas B. Greenslade, Jr., Galileos Paradox, Phys. Teach. 46, 294 (May 2008). Figure P2.42
A fireworks shell is accelerated from rest to a velocity of 65.0 m/s over a distance of 0.250 m. (a) How long did the acceleration last? (b) Calculate the acceleration.
The kinematic equations can describe phenomena other than motion through space and time. Suppose x represents a persons bank account balance. The units of x would be dollars (), and velocity v would give the rate at which the balance changes (in units of, for example, /month). Acceleration would give the rate at which v changes. Suppose a person begins with ten thousand dollars in the bank. Initial money management, leads to no net change in the account balance so that v0 = 0. Unfortunately, management worsens over time so that a = 2.5 102 /month2. Assuming a is constant, find the amount of time in months until the bank account is empty
Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One paddles directly upstream (and moves upstream), whereas the other paddles directly downstream. With downstream as the positive direction, an observer on shore determines the velocities of the two canoes to be 1.2 m/s and + 2.9 m/s, respectively, (a) What is the speed of the water relative to the shore? (b) What is the speed of each canoe relative to the water?
An ice sled powered by a rocket engine sum from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at + 40 ft/s2. After some time t1, the rocket engine is shut down and the sled moves with constant velocity v for a time t2. If the total distance traveled by the sled is 17 500 ft and the total time is 90 s. find (a) the times t1 and t2 and (b) the velocity v. At the 17 500-ft mark, the sled begins to accelerate at 20 ft/s2. (c) What is the final position of the sled when it comes to rest? (d) How long does it take to come to rest?
