Emily challenges her husband, David, to catch a 1 bill as follows. She holds the bill vertically as in Figure P2.67, with the center of the bill between David's index finger and thumb. David must catch the bill after Emily releases it without moving his hand downward. If his reaction time is 0.2 s, will he succeed? Explain your reasoning. (This challenge is a good trick you might want to try with your friends.) Figure P2.67
A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of -10 m / s." What is wrong with the student's statement? What has the student actually described? Explain.
Suppose you drop a rock into a dark well and, using precision equipment, you measure the time for the sound of a splash to return. (a) Neglecting the time required for sound to travel up the well, calculate the distance to the water if the sound returns in 2.0000 s. (b) Now calculate the distance taking into account the time for sound to travel up the well. The speed of sound is 332.00 m/s in this well.
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
A police car traveling at 95.0 km/h is traveling west, chasing a motorist traveling at 80.0 km/h. (a) What is the velocity of the motorist relative to the police car? (b) What is the velocity of the police cat relative to the motorist? (c) If they are originally 250 m apart, in what time interval will the police car over take the motorist?
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one-way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s, and BL11t accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete the course?
A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min at 80.0 km/h, 12.0 min at 100 km/h, and 45.0 min at 40.0 km/h and spends 15.0 min eating lunch and buying gas. (a) Determine the average speed for the trip. (b) Determine the distance between the initial and final cities along the route.
A convenient time unit for short time intervals is the millisecond. Express 0.0452 s in milliseconds.
A distance with two significant figures divided by a time interval with three significant figures equals an average speed. How many significant figures does the average speed have?
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.
An object that is thrown straight up falls back to Earth. This is one-dimensional motion. (a) When is its velocity zero? (b) Does its velocity change direction? (c) Does the acceleration clue to gravity have the same sign on the way up as on the way clown?
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?
