Chapter 2: 19 PE (page 82)

Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 km/s in 60.0 s (the actual speed and time are classified). What is its average acceleration in m/s2 and in multiples of g (\({\bf{9}}{\bf{.80}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\))?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The acceleration of missile is \({\bf{108}}{\bf{.33}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\) or \({\bf{11}}{\bf{.05}}\,{\bf{g}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Determination of formula for average acceleration of missile

Given data:

The suborbital speed of missile is\(v = 6.50\;{\rm{km}}/{\rm{s}}\).

The initial speed of rocket is\(u = 0\).

The time for acceleration of the missile is\(t = 60\;{\rm{s}}\).

The acceleration of the missile is the increase in speed over time while moving from one position to another position.

The average acceleration of the missile is given by

\(a = \frac{{v - u}}{t}\)

Here, \(a\) is the acceleration of missile.

02

Determination of average acceleration of missile

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{array}{l}a = \frac{{\left( {6.50\;{\rm{km}}/{\rm{s}} - 0} \right)\left( {\frac{{1000\;{\rm{m}}}}{{1\;{\rm{km}}}}} \right)}}{{60\;{\rm{s}}}}\\a = 108.33\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}\\a = \left( {108.33\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\left( {\frac{g}{{9.80\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}}}} \right)\\a = 11.05g\end{array}\)

Therefore, the acceleration of the missile is \(108.33\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}\) or \(11.05\,{\rm{g}}\).

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of\(11.0 m/s\)How long does he have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of\(2.20 m\), and he is\({\bf{1}}.{\bf{80}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{m}}\)tall?

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.

Construct the displacement graph for the subway shuttle train as shown in Figure 2.18(a). Your graph should show the position of the train, in kilometres, from t = 0 to 20 s You will need to use the information on acceleration and velocity given in the examples for this figure.

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is\({\bf{2}}{\bf{.10 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{4}}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\), and 1.85 ms (\({\bf{1}}\;{\bf{ms = 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 3}}}}\;{\bf{s}}\)) elapses from the time the ball first touches the mitt until it stops, what was the initial velocity of the ball?
