Additional Integrated Problems
Dolphins and other sea creatures can leap to great heights by swimming straight up and exiting the water at a high speed. A 210 kg dolphin leaps straight up to a height of 7.0 m. When the dolphin reenters the water, drag from the water brings it to a stop in 1.5 m. Assuming that the force of the water on the dolphin stays constant as it slows down,
a. How much time does it take for the dolphin to come to rest?
b. What is the force of the water on the dolphin as it is coming to rest?

From 1946 through 1958, Col. John Stapp headed the U.S. Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory's studies of the human body's ability to tolerate high accelerations during plane crashes. Conventional wisdom at the time indicated that a plane's negative acceleration should not exceed 180 m/s2 (18 times gravitational acceleration, or 18g). Stapp and his colleagues built a 700-kg "Gee Whiz" rocket sled, track, and stopping pistons to measure human tolerance to high acceleration. Starting in June 1949, Stapp and other live subjects rode the sled. In one of Stapp's rides, the sled started at rest and 360 m later was traveling at speed 67 m/s when its braking system was applied, stopping the sled in 6.0 m. He had demonstrated that 18g was not a limit for human deceleration.
Find the time interval for Stapp and his sled to stop as their speed decreased from 67 m/s to zero.

What is the maximum height the ball reaches in meters, how long does it take to reach this maximum point in seconds and what is the total displacement in meters of the ball for its entire motion of traveling from the ground to the top and returning. ***gravity is the only force acting on it*** Thanks!arrow_forward
- Newton's Law of Motion 1) An electron, whose mass is 9.11 x 10 - 31 kg, leaves one end of a TV picture tube with zero initial speed and travels in a straight line to the accelerating grid, which is 2 cm away. It reaches the grid with a speed of 2.80 x 106 m/s. If the accelerating force is constant, compute (a) the electron’s acceleration, (b) the time it takes for the electron to reach the grid, and (c) the net force. You can ignore the gravitational force on the electron.arrow_forwardIn this chapter, you've encountered a large number of concepts it related to forces and motion. Organizing a concept map might help clarify the meanings of many of these concepts for you. As a stall, you examine Concept Map 2.2 pertaining to the concept of "net force" created by a student who had previously taken an introductory physics course. Unfortunately, this student had some misconceptions about this topic, so there are some blatant errors in the concept map. Locate and correct as many of these errors as you can. (hint: Carefully inspect the linking words used to connect the concepts and consider the meanings of the "propositions" they make.)arrow_forwardIntegrated Concepts A large rocket has a mass of 2.00106 kg at takeoff, and its engines produce a thrust of 3.50107 N. (a) Find its initial acceleration if it takes off vertically. (b) How long does it take to reach a velocity of 120 km/h straight up, assuming constant mass and thrust? (c) In reality, the mass of a rocket decreases significantly as its fuel is consumed. Describe qualitatively how this affects the acceleration and time for this motion.arrow_forward

Calculate the average acceleration of the shell in the tube as it goes from zero to the velocity found in (a). (c) What is the average force on the shell in the mortar?

(i) While they are running toward the stern, is the speed of the ship (a) higher than it was before, (b) unchanged, (c) lower than it was before, or (d) impossible to determine? (ii) The vacationers stop running when they reach the stem of the ship. After they have all stopped running, is the speed of the ship (a) higher titan it was before they started running, (b) unchanged from what it was before they started running, (c) lower than it was before they started running, or (d) impossible to determine?arrow_forward
