Tectonic plates are large segments of the Earth's crust that move slowly. Suppose that one such plate has an average speed of 4.0 cm/year. (a) What distance does it move in 1 s at this speed? (b) What is its speed in kilometers per million years?
What is the speed of the bird in Exercise 2.4?
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.
A ball is dropped from the top of an 80-m-high building. Does the ball reach the ground in 4.0 s? (See Figure 2.7.)
A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight course 1.00 km long. The tortoise crawls at a speed of 0.200 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at a speed of 8.00 m/s toward the finish line for 0.800 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving tortoise as the tortoise eventually passes by. The hare waits for a while after the tortoise passes and then runs toward the finish line again at 8.00 m/s. Both the hare and the tortoise cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the tortoise from the finish line when the hare resumes the race? (b) For how long in time was the hare stationary?
Two identical clocks are in the same house, one upstairs in a bedroom and the other downstairs in kitchen. Which clock runs slower? Explain.
A car is traveling at a speed of 33 m/s. (a) What is its speed in kilometers per hour? (b) Is it exceeding the 90 km/h speed limit?
A paper in the journal Current Biology tells of some jellyfish-like animals that attack their prey by launching stinging cells in one of the animal kingdoms fastest movements. High-speed photography showed the cells were accelerated from rest for 700. ns at 5.30 107 m/s2. Calculate (a) the maximum speed reached by the cells and (b) the distance traveled during the acceleration.
A 50 kg car is moving at 5 m/s. The driver then accelerates at 3 m/s2 for 10 seconds. How fast is the car going at the end of the 10 seconds?
The 1992 world speed record for a bicycle (human-powered vehicle) was set by Chris Huber. His time through the measured 200 m stretch was a sizzling 6.509 s, at which he commented, “Cogito ergo zoom!” (I think, therefore I go fast!). In 2001, Sam Whittingham beat Huber’s record by 19.0 km/h. What was Whittingham’s time through the 200 m?
A car traveling 60 km/hkm/h slows down at a constant 0.50 m/s2m/s2 just by "letting up on the gas." Calculate the distance it travels during the second second.
A car is traveling at a speed of 25 m/s, and accelerates at a rate of 1.5 m/s2 for 10 seconds. What distance in meters does it cover in that time?
