Chapter 2: 14 PE (page 82)

A football quarterback runs 15.0 m straight down the playing field in 2.50 s. He is then hit and pushed 3.00 m straight backward in 1.75 s. He breaks the tackle and runs straight forward another 21.0 m in 5.20 s. Calculate his average velocity (a) for each of the three intervals and (b) for the entire motion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The average velocities for first-, second- and third-time intervals are\({\bf{6}}\;{\bf{m/s}}\),\({\bf{ - 1}}{\bf{.714}}\;{\bf{m/s}}\)and\({\bf{4}}{\bf{.04}}\;{\bf{m/s}}\).

(b) The average velocity for entire motion is \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.5}}\;{\bf{m/s}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Determination of average velocity for each time interval (a)

Given Data:

The displacement for first time interval is \({d_1} = 15\;{\rm{m}}\)

The duration for first time interval is\({t_1} = 2.50\;{\rm{s}}\)

The displacement for second time interval is \({d_2} = - 3\;{\rm{m}}\)

The duration for second time interval is\({t_2} = 1.75\;{\rm{s}}\)

The displacement for third time interval is \({d_3} = 21\;{\rm{m}}\)

The duration for third time interval is\({t_3} = 5.20\;{\rm{s}}\)

The average velocity of an object is the variation in the displacement with time. It is greater, less or equal to the average speed.

The average velocity for first time interval is given as

\(\begin{array}{l}{v_1} = \frac{{{d_1}}}{{{t_1}}}\\{v_1} = \frac{{15\;{\rm{m}}}}{{2.50\;{\rm{s}}}}\\{v_1} = 6\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

The average velocity for second time interval is given as

\(\begin{array}{l}{v_2} = \frac{{{d_2}}}{{{t_2}}}\\{v_2} = \frac{{ - 3\;{\rm{m}}}}{{1.75\;{\rm{s}}}}\\{v_2} = - 1.714\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

The average velocity for third time interval is given as

\(\begin{array}{l}{v_3} = \frac{{{d_3}}}{{{t_3}}}\\{v_3} = \frac{{21\;{\rm{m}}}}{{5.20\;{\rm{s}}}}\\{v_3} = 4.04\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the average velocities for first-, second- and third-time intervals are \(6\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\), \( - 1.714\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\) and \(4.04\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\).

02

Determination of average velocity for entire motion (b)

The average velocity for entire motion is given as

\(v = \frac{{{d_1} + {d_2} + {d_3}}}{{{t_1} + {t_2} + {t_3}}}\)

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{array}{l}v = \frac{{15\;{\rm{m}} + \left( { - 3\;{\rm{m}}} \right) + 21\;{\rm{m}}}}{{2.50\;{\rm{s}} + 1.75\;{\rm{s}} + 5.20\;{\rm{s}}}}\\v = 3.5\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the average velocity for entire motion is \(3.5\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\).

A bullet in a gun is accelerated from the firing chamber to the end of the barrel at an average rate of\({\bf{6}}{\bf{.20 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{5}}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\)for\({\bf{8}}{\bf{.10 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 4}}}}\;{\bf{s}}\). What is its muzzle velocity (that is, its final velocity)?

A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.40}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\). (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s? (b) If she then brakes to a stop in 0.800 s, what is her deceleration?

Under what circumstances does distance travelled equal magnitude of displacement? What is the only case in which magnitude of displacement and displacement are exactly the same?

Suppose you throw a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree, and the rock misses on the way up but hits the coconut on the way down. Neglecting air resistance, how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it had hit the coconut on the way up? Is it more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain.

While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of\({\bf{2}}{\bf{.40}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\)for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b) List the knowns in this problem. (c) How far does the car travel in those 12.0 s? To solve this part, first identify the unknown, and then discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, check your units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (d) What is the car鈥檚 final velocity? Solve for this unknown in the same manner as in part (c), showing all steps explicitly.
