- In each case, determine whether the object is moving in one, two, or three dimensions. Explain, a. The car driving up the hill in Figure P4.2A b. The car winding down the mountain in Figure P4.2Barrow_forwardFind the following for path B in Figure 2.59: (a) The distance traveled. (b) The magnitude of the displacement from start to finish. (c) The displacement from start to finish.arrow_forwardA pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m). (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P3.46. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure P3.46arrow_forward
- 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 P2.67arrow_forwardTowns A and B in Figure P3.35 are 80.0 km apart. A couple arranges to drive from town A and meet a couple driving from town B at the lake, L. The two couples leave simultaneously and drive for 2.50 h in the directions shown. Car 1 has a speed of 90.0 km/h. If the cars arrive simultaneously at the lake, what is the speed of car 2? Figure P3.35arrow_forwardTwo students are on a balcony a distance h above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at a speed vi, at the same time, the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. Answer the following symbolically in terms of vi, g, h. and t. (a) What is the time interval between when the first ball strikes the ground and the second ball strikes the ground? (b) Find the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground, (c) How far apart are the balls at a time t after they are thrown and before they strike the ground?arrow_forward
- Problems 74 and 75 are paired. 74. N A classroom clock has a small magnifying glass embedded near the end of the minute hand. The magnifying glass may be modeled as a particle. Class begins at 7:55 and ends at 8:50. The length of the minute hand is 0.300 m. a. Find the average velocity of the magnifying glass at the end of the minute hand using the coordinate system shown in Figure P3.74. Give your answer in component form. b. Find the magnitude and direction of the average velocity. c. Find the average speed and in the CHECK and THINK step, compare to the average velocity.arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardA glider on an air track carries a flag of length through a stationary photogate, which measures the time interval td during which the flag blocks a beam of infrared light passing across the photogate. The ratio vd = /td is the average velocity of the glider over this part of its motion. Suppose the glider moves with constant acceleration, (a) Is vd necessarily equal to the instantaneous velocity of the glider when it is halfway through the photogate in space? Explain. (b) Is vd equal to the instantaneous velocity of the glider when it is halfway through the photogate in time? Explain.arrow_forward
- Two students air on a balcony a distance h above the street. One student throws a ball vertically down-ward at a speed v0; at the same time, the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. Answer the following symbolically in terms of v0, g, h, and t. (a) Write the kinematic equation for the y-coordinate of each ball, (b) Set the equations found in part (a) equal to height 0 and solve each for t symbolically using the quadratic formula. What is the difference in the two balls' time in the air? (c) Use the time-independent kinematics equation to find the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground, (d) How far apart are the balls at a time t after they are released and before the strike the ground?arrow_forwardA landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.42arrow_forwardA student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 18.0 m/s. The cliff is 50.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in Figure P3.7. (a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone? (b) What are the components of the initial velocity? (c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time, (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in Figure P3.7. (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? (f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? Figure P3.7arrow_forward
