Astronauts walking on the Moon are seen bounding rather than walking normally. Why?
Describe the path of a moving body in the event that (a) its acceleration is constant in magnitude at all times and perpendicular to the velocity, and (b) its acceleration is constant in magnitude al all times and parallel to the velocity.
A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) If it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative to the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind? (b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will he take to return 6.00 km? (c) Discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.
A spacecraft lands on a newly discovered planet orbiting the star 51 Pegasi. To measure the acceleration from gravity on the planet, an astronaut drops a rock from a height of 2 m. A precision timer indicates that it takes the rock 0.71 s to fall to the surface. What is the acceleration from gravity on this planet?
The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on Earth). Suppose a car is designed to accelerate at this rate. How much time would be required for the car to accelerate from rest, to 60.0 miles per hour? (The car would need rocket boosters!)
An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity of 22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150 m/s2 as it goes through. The station is 210 m long. (a) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (b) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (c) If the train is 130 m long, when does the end of the train leave the station? (d) What is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves?
A moving beltway at an airport has a speed 1 and a length L. A woman stands on the beltway as it moves from one end to the other, while a man in a hurry to reach his flight walks on the beltway with a speed of 2 relative to the moving beltway. (a) What time interval is required for the woman to travel the distance L? (b) What time interval is required for the man to travel this distance? (c) A second beltway is located next to the first one. It is identical to the first one but moves in the opposite direction at speed 1. Just as the man steps onto the beginning of the beltway and begins to walk at speed relative to his beltway, a child steps on the other end of the adjacent beltway. The child stands at rest relative to this second beltway. How long after stepping on the beltway does the man pass the child?
The driver of a truck slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The truck slows down uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s. making skid marks 62.4 m long that end at the tree. With what speed does the truck then strike the tree?
Speed is a(n) ___ quantity. (2.2)
17. An object is not accelerated if a. it is acted upon by an external influence. b. its speed remains unchanged while its direction of motion changes. c. its speed and its direction of motion are both unchanging. d. its speed changes while its direction of motion remains unchanged. Explanation and solution
Uniform circular motion is an example of accelerated motion because; a. the acceleration is constant. b. the acceleration is directed inward. c. the velocity is constantly changing in direction. d. the speed is constant.
Which of the following is wrong for a freely falling object. X a. If an object is dropped from rest its velocity will be 10 m/s after 1 seconds, 20 m/s after 2 seconds, 30 m/s after 3 seconds and so on. b. Velocity of the body can be found with the following equation: velocity = 10r c. It's velocity increases by 10 m/s every second d. Its acceleration is g = -10 m/s2 (gravitational acceleration) %3D
