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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The duration for speeding up car is\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.43}}\;{\bf{s}}\).

(b) The deceleration of cheetah is \({\bf{ - 2}}{\bf{.5}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Determination of formula for acceleration of cheetah

Given Data:

The acceleration of car is\(a = 1.40\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}\)

The initial speed of car is\(u = 0\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\)

The final speed of car is\(v = 2\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\)

The duration to stop the car is\(T = 0.800\;{\rm{s}}\)

The acceleration of a particle is the variation in the velocity of particle with time between different positions.

The duration for speeding up car is given as:

\(v = u + at\)

Here,\(t\)is the duration for speeding up car.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{array}{c}2\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}} = 0\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}} + \left( {1.40\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)t\\t = 1.43\;{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the duration for speeding up car is \(1.43\;{\rm{s}}\).

02

Determination of deceleration of car

The duration for speeding up car is given as:

\(v = u - fT\)

Here,\(f\)is the deceleration of car.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{array}{c}2\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}} = 0\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}} - f\left( {0.800\;{\rm{s}}} \right)\\f = - 2.5\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the deceleration of cheetah is \( - 2.5\;{\rm{m}}/{{\rm{s}}^2}\).

A coin is dropped from a hot-air balloon that is 300m above the ground and rising at 10.00 m/s upward. For the coin, find (a) the maximum height reached, (b) its position and velocity 4.00 s after being released, and (c) the time before it hits the ground.

Land west of the San Andreas fault in southern California is moving at an average velocity of about 6cm/y northwest relative to land east of the fault. Los Angeles is west of the fault and may thus someday be at the same latitude as San Francisco, which is east of the fault. How far in the future will this occur if the displacement to be made is590km northwest, assuming the motion remains constant?

Dr. John Paul Stapp was U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme deceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s. Calculate his (a) acceleration and (b) deceleration. Express each in multiples of g (\({\bf{9}}{\bf{.80}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\) ) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.

The planetary model of the atom pictures electrons orbiting the atomic nucleus much as planets orbit the Sun. In this model you can view hydrogen, the simplest atom, as having a single electron in a circular orbit\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.06 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 10}}}}\;{\bf{m}}\)in diameter. (a) If the average speed of the electron in this orbit is known to be\({\bf{2}}{\bf{.20 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{6}}}{\bf{ m/s}}\), calculate the number of revolutions per second it makes about the nucleus. (b) What is the electron’s average velocity?
