Concept explainers
(a)
The initial acceleration of the sled and compare it with the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration.
(a)
Answer to Problem 94A
The acceleration of the sled at its starting is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The initial velocity of the sled is
The final velocity of the sled is
The time interval for speed up is
Formula used:
Show the expression for the acceleration
Here,
Calculation:
Find the initial acceleration of the sled as follows:
Apply the values for
Hence, the acceleration of the sled at the starting is
The magnitude of the free-fall acceleration
Compare the acceleration of the sled with the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration.
Conclusion:
Thus, the acceleration of the sled at its starting is
(b)
The acceleration of the sled at its braking and compare it with the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration.
(b)
Answer to Problem 94A
The acceleration of the sled at its breaking is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A sled moving with a velocity
The initial velocity of the sled is
The final velocity of the sled is
The time interval is
Formula used:
Show the expression for the acceleration
Here,
Calculation:
Find the initial acceleration of the sled as follows:
Apply the values for
Hence, the acceleration of the sled at its braking is
The negative sign indicates retardation of the sled.
Compare the acceleration of the sled with the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration.
Conclusion:
Thus, the acceleration of the sled at its breaking is
