Chapter 3: Q2E (page 121)

Find the following for path B in Figure:

(a) the total distance traveled, and

(b) the magnitude and direction of the displacement from start to finish.

The various lines represent paths taken by different people walking in a city. All blocks are m on a side.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The total distance traveled is 1200 m .

b. The magnitude and direction of the displacement from start to finish is 379.4 m &71.6掳NE .

Step by step solution

01

Determine total distance travel

A physical quantity is a material's physical property that can be quantified, such as mass, length, etc.

1 Block = 120 m.

For path B, the total distance traveled is:

= 4 blocks + 3 blocks + 3 blocks

= 10 blocks

=10脳20=1200m

Therefore, the total distance traveled by path B is 1200 m.

02

Determine the direction of displacement

The magnitude of the displacement from start to finish is:

d鈬赌=dx2+dy2=1Block2+3Block2

The direction of the displacement:

=1+9blocks=10blocks=10脳120m=3.162脳120m=379.4m

The direction of the displacement:

胃=tan-1dydx=tan-13block1block=tan-13=71.6掳NE

Therefore, the magnitude and direction of the displacement from start to finish is 379.4 m & 71.6掳NE.

Prove that the trajectory of a projectile is parabolic, having the form y=ax+bx2. To obtain this expression, solve the equation x=voxtfor and substitute it into the expression for y=voyt1(1/2)gt2(These equations describe the xand y positions of a projectile that starts at the origin.) You should obtain an equation of the form y=ax+bx2where a and bare constants.

In the standing broad jump, one squats and then pushes off with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose the extension of the legs from the crouch position isx=0.600m and the acceleration achieved from this position is1.25times the acceleration due to gravity, g. How far can they jump? State your assumptions. (Increased range can be achieved by swinging the arms in the direction of the jump.)

Suppose a soccer player kicks the ball from a distance 30 m toward the goal. Find the initial speed of the ball if it just passes over the goal, 2.4 m above the ground, given the initial direction to be 40潞above the horizontal.

Show that the order of addition of three vectors does not affect their sum. Show this property by choosing any three vectors \({\rm{A}}\), \({\rm{B}}\), and \({\rm{C}}\), all having different lengths and directions. Find the sum \({\rm{A}} + {\rm{B}} + {\rm{C}}\) then find their sum when added in a different order and show the result is the same. (There are five other orders in which \({\rm{A}}\), \({\rm{B}}\), and \({\rm{C}}\) can be added; choose only one.)

A cloud of dirt falls from the bed of a moving truck. It strikes the ground directly below the end of the truck. What is the direction of its velocity relative to the truck just before it hits? Is this the same as the direction of its velocity relative to ground just before it hits? Explain your answers.
