Concept explainers

In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.

Linear Displacement

The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, fo…

Chapter 5, Problem 96GP

A car is heading down a slippery road at a speed of 95 km/h. The minimum distance within which it can stop without skidding is 66 m. What is the sharpest curve the car can negotiate on the icy surface at the same speed without skidding?

A woman is riding a Jet Ski at a speed of 27 m/s and notices a seawall straight ahead. The farthest she can lean the craft in order to make a turn is 19°. This situation is like that of a car on a curve that is banked at an angle of 19°. If she tries to make the turn without slowing down, what is the minimum distance from the seawall that she can begin making her turn and still avoid a crash?

A 1500-kg car goes around a flat 25-m-radius circular track at 10 m/s (approximately 22 mph). What is the maximum speed this car can go without sliding, in m/s? The coefficients of friction between the tire and the road on a dry day are µs = 1.0 and µk= 0.80. Use g = 10 m/s2.

A motorcyclist’s stunt requires him to cross a ravine. He starts from a ramp on the left which is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees. His motorcycle is going at 30m/s when he leaves the ramp. He makes it just across and lands on the opposite side of the ravine on a ramp that has a height 4 meters below the first. How wide is the ravine?
