- During the middle of a family picnic, Barry Allen received a message that his friends Bruce and Hal needed to be saved. Barry promised his wife Iris that he would be back in exactly 5 minutes. From that that picnic location, Barry runs at a speed of 600 m/s for 2 minutes at a heading of 35° north of west to save Bruce. He then changed his heading to 30° west of north, slows down to 400 m/s and runs for 1 minute to save Hal. (The changes in speed are essentially instantaneous and not part of solving this problem).(a) Draw a physical representation of the displacement during Barry’s full trip.(b) Use the Related Quantities sense-making technique to compare Barry’s total distance traveled to themagnitude of his displacement.(c) What average velocity (magnitude and direction) does Barry need to return back to the picnic inorder to keep his promise to Iris?arrow_forwardInstruments in airplane A indicate that, with respect to the air, the plane is headed 30° north of east with an air speed of 300 mi/h. At the same time, radar on ship B indicates that the relative velocity of the plane with respect to the ship is 280 mi/h in the direction 33° north of east. Knowing that the ship is steaming due south at 12 mi/h, determine (a) the velocity of the airplane, (b) the wind speed and direction.arrow_forwardAn accelerometer record for the motion of a given part of a mechanism is approximated by an arc of a parabola for 0.2 s and a straight line for the next 0.2 s as shown in the figure. Knowing that v = 0 when t= 0 and x= 0.8 ft when t= 0.4 s, (a) construct the v-t curve for 0 ≤ t≤ 0.4 s, (b) determine the position of the part at t= 0.3 s and t= 0.2 s.arrow_forward
- The velocity of a particle, measured from a rectangular coordinate system (X, Y, Z)is given by ? = [t3i + 8t2j + (5t + 2) k ]m/s, where t is given in seconds. If the particle is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0) when t = 0 s, determine: (a) The intensity of the particle velocity when t = 4 s (b) The intensity of the particle acceleration when t = 4 s (c) The position of the particle in coordinates (x, y, z) when t = 4 sarrow_forwardTwo cars A and B start travelling at different times. Car A travelled 2 hours ahead of car B. Initially, car A is located at a distance 50 north of the location of car B. Car A travels towards the southeast direction in a straight line that deviates at an angle of 18 with respect to the east direction, while car B travels towards the northeast direction in a straight line that deviates at an angle of 20 with respect to the east direction as well. a. If the two cars meet after 6 hours, calculate the speed of both cars. b. Using the data from the first question, calculate the horizontal distance between the meeting point of the cars and the vertical line initially separating the two cars.arrow_forwardCar A is traveling at 40 mi/h when it enters a 30 mi/h speed zone. The driver of car A decelerates at a rate of 16 ft/s2 until reaching a speed of 30 mi/h, which she then maintains. When car B , which was initially 60 ft behind car A and traveling at a constant speed of 45 mi/h, enters the speed zone, its driver decelerates at a rate of 20 ft/s2 until reaching a speed of 28 mi/h. Knowing that the driver of car B maintains a speed of 28 mi/h, determine (a) the closest that car B comes to car A, (b) the time at which car A is 70 ft in front of car B.arrow_forward
- A motorist is traveling on a curved section of highway with a radius of 2500 ft at a speed of 60 mi/h. The motorist suddenly applies the brakes, causing the automobile to slow down at a constant rate. If the speed has been reduced to 45 mi/h after 8 s, determine the acceleration of the automobile immediately after the brakes have been applied.arrow_forwardTown A is 11 miles west of Town B. A man walks from A to B at the rate of 3 miles per hour, and another man, starting at the same time, walks from B to A at the rate of 4 miles per hour. Determine the following: a) The times after starting, that the men are 2 miles apart. b) Explain the concepts/principles that were considered and the factors that affected the condition of item (a)arrow_forwardCar A is moving with constant speed v on the straight and level highway. The police officer in the stationary car P attempts to measure the speed v with radar. If the radar measures “line-of sight” velocity, what velocity v' will the officer observe? Evaluate your general expression for the values v = 74 mi/hr, L = 605 ft, and D = 19 ft, and draw any appropriate conclusions.arrow_forward

As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time: x = 0.5t^3 + t^2 + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. x is measured along the surface of the hill.
