Chapter 6, Problem 6.35P
A motorboat cuts its engine when its speed is 10.0 m/s and then coasts to rest. The equation describing the motion of the motorboat during this period is ʋ = ʋie-a , where ʋ is tin? speed .at time t, ʋ, is the initial speed at t = 0, and r is a constant. At t = 20.0 s. the speed is 5.00 m/s. (a) Find the constant c. (b) What is the speed at t - 40.0 s? (c) Differentiate die expression for ʋ(l) and thus show that the acceleration of the boat is proportional to the speed at any time.

In an experiment to determine the viscosity of some oil, a ball is dropped into the oil. The position of the ball is given by the formula y(t) = A + Bt +C e−Dt, where y is given in m, and t is the time in s. At t = 0, y(0) = 0.1 m, the y component of the velocity is zero and the y component of the acceleration is ay(0)= 0.04 m/s2. As t approaches infinity, the y component of the velocity approaches vy(∞) = 0.5 m/s.
What is the value of A, C, and D? Please show work so I can understand.
A student is testing the UAM equations by measuring the time it takes for light-weight plastic balls to fall to the floor from a height of 5 m in the lab. The student predicts the time to fall using g as 9.80 m/s^2 but finds the measured time to be 42.5% greater. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the large percent error?
a. The acceleration due to gravity is 57.5% greater than 9.80 m/s^2 at this location.
b. The acceleration due to gravity is 57.5% less than 9.80 m/s^2 at this location.
c. Air resistance increases the downward acceleration.
d. The acceleration of the plastic balls is not uniform.
e. No Answer
In an experiment to determine the viscosity of some oil, a ball is dropped into the oil. The position of the ball is given by the formula y(t)=A+Bt+Ce−Dt, where y is given in m, and t is the time in s. At t=0, y(0)=0.07 m, the y component of the velocity is zero and the ycomponent of the acceleration is ay(0)=0.03 m/s2. As t approaches infinity, the y component of the velocity approaches vy(∞)=0.45 m/s.

- A student is asked to measure the acceleration of a glider on a frictionless, inclined plane, using an air track, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. The top of the track is measured to be 1.774 cm higher than the bottom of the track, and the length of the track is d = 127.1 cm. The cart is released from rest at the top of the incline, taken as x = 0, and its position x along the incline is measured as a function of time. For x values of 10.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 35.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 75.0 cm, and 100 cm, the measured times at which these positions are reached (averaged over five runs) are 1.02 s, 1.53 s, 2.01 s, 2.64 s, 3.30 s, and 3.75 s, respectively. (a) Construct a graph of x versus t2, with a best-fit straight line to describe the data. (b) Determine the acceleration of the cart from the slope of this graph. (c) Explain how your answer to part (b) compares with the theoretical value you calculate using a = g sin as derived in Example 4.3.arrow_forwardA student drops a water-filled balloon from the roof of the tallest building in town trying to hit her roommate on the ground (who is too quick). The first student ducks back but hears the water splash 4.021 s after dropping the balloon. If the speed of sound is 331 m/s, find the height of the building, neglecting air resistance.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?

- In an experiment to determine the viscosity of some oil, a ball is dropped into the oil. The position of the ball is given by the formula y(t)=A+Bt+Ce^−Dt, where y is given in m, and t is the time in s. At t=0, y(0)=0.07 m, the y component of the velocity is zero and the y component of the acceleration is ay(0)=0.015 m/s^2. As t approaches infinity, the y component of the velocity approaches vy(∞)=0.55 m/s. The problem asks you to find what A, B, C, and D are. I found that B = 0.55 m/s and I believe I can crack if I just knew what one more constant was. However, I am completely stumped.arrow_forwardYou drop a stone down a well that is 9.5 m deep. How long is it before you hear the splash? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and air resistance is negligible.
