Concept explainers
Problems 39 through 45 are motion problems similar to those you will learn to solve in Chapter 2. For now, simply interpret the problem by drawing a motion diagram showing the object's position and its velocity vectors. Do not solve these problems or do any mathematics.
42. A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.0 m/s hits a 5.0-m-wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continues on at 6.0 m/s. What is her acceleration on the rough ice?

- Provide an explanation on outlining the underlying physics principle and using correct terminologies. In answering these problems, apply appropriate formulae, principles, and equations. A. Can an object have a constant speed but varying velocity ?arrow_forwardB. PROBLEM SOLVING: Solve the following problems with complete solutions. (Given, formula, substitution with the correct units and the final answer up to two decimal places. 1. What is the displacement of a horse rider with an initial velocity Of 4.0 m/s and accelerate uniformly with a final velocity of 18.0 m/s in 4.0 seconds 2. What is the initial velocity of an automobile acquiring a final velocity of 32 m/s with an acceleration of 4.0m/s 2 3. The brakes are applied on a car traveling at 30 m/sand stop sin 3.0 seconds. Find the car's a. Displacement b. accelerationarrow_forwardProblem-Solving Technique: Draw a labeled picture. Put a coordinate system on the picture indicating the location of the origin and the positive direction. Show the solution in a step-by-step orderly fashion. Write any equation you use in symbolic form before substituting in numbers. 1. Ann is traveling at 30 m/s (80 mi/hr) west when she passes a police car. She immediately begins slowing down at a rate of 2.5 m/s for 4 seconds. How far has she traveled for this time? a. Fill in the information that is given in the problem. Put a question mark for any quantity that is not given in the problem. Vox = v. = b. Determine the distance she traveled in this time. Start with the equation in sy numbers you used including units. olic form and show thearrow_forward
- A car travels with an average speed of 8.00 meter/second. A. What is the speed in km/s? B. What is the speed in mile/hour? Hint: 1km =1000.0 metersarrow_forwardFull formula Correct Correct Correct values answer, metric units inserted into rounded to the formula two decimal from the places word problemarrow_forward1. The final push to the summit of Mt. Everest starts at Camp 3. Your displacement from Camp 3 to Camp 4 is 400 meter west, 600 meter south, and 100 meter up. From Camp 4 to the peak is 900 meter east, 200 meter south, and 200 meter up. a. What is the displacement from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? Give distances east/west, north/south and up/down from Camp 3 to the peak. b. What is the straight-line distance from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? The straight-line distance is the distance if you drew a straight line from Camp 3 to Mt. Everest.arrow_forward
- A truck is making a delivery and must take a few roads to go around a lake. The truck starts driving at 24 m/s [14 N of E] for 18 minutes. It then turns into a new road and drives 20 m/s [10 E of N] for 12 minutes. Finally, it drives 22 m/s [W] for 30 minutes. (Don't forget to convert to metres when solving and please include diagrams). a. What is the truck's displacement from its starting point? b. Calculate the average speed and average velocity over the entire trip.arrow_forwardAn object is held 10 m above the ground. It is tossed upward at 5 m/s. Describe the object's motion in words. Write an equation of motion for the object. How long does it take for the object to hit the ground? How far above the ground is the object in 1.5 sec?arrow_forwardDirection: Solve what is required in each of the following problems. Show a step by step process in finding the solution of the problem. An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 38 s until is finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff. Upton Chuck is riding the Giant Drop at Great America. If Upton free falls for 2.80 seconds, what will be his final velocity and how far will he fall? A car begins driving from a stationary position. It accelerates at 5 m/s2 for 15 seconds, then travels at a steady speed for another 10 seconds, all in the same direction. How much distance has it covered since it started driving?arrow_forward
