Chapter 3: Q53PE (page 87)

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.0 m/s straight into the wind.

(a) If it takes the bird 20 min to travel 6.0 km relative to the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind?

(b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will he take to return 6.0 km?

(c) Discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The velocity of the wind relative to earth is-4m/s.

(b) The time taken when the bird is moving with the wind will be 7.7 min.

(C) Due to wind, bird takes (20 鈥� 7.7) min less time compared with no wind.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of velocity

The directional speed of an item in motion is an indication of its rate of change in position as seen from a specific point of view and measured by a specific time standard.

02

Given data

The velocity can be said as Vi is9.0m/s The velocity is making some angle with the x axis.

The bird travels in x direction is6km that is distance in meter =6000meter

The time taken by bird is20min, which can be converted into seconds

t = 20 x 60 = 1200 s

The velocity of the bird relative to the wind is Vbw 9m/s

The gravitational acceleration is-9.8m/s2

03

Velocity of the bird opposite to wind

The velocity of the bird

Vb-=xtVb-=60001200Vb-=5m/s

The velocity of the bird relative to earth is 5 m/s.


a. The velocity of the wind will be

Vwe=Vwb+VbeVwe=-9+5Vwe=-4m/s

The velocity of the wind relative to earth is -4 m/s.


04

Time of the bird to return 6 km with the direction of wind

b. Time of the bird to return 6 km with the direction of wind is

Vbe炉=xet

The velocity of the bird relative to the earth

Vbe=Vbw+VweVbe=-9+-4Vbe=-13m/s


Putting the value of velocity in the equation

Vbe-=Xet-13=-6000tt=600013t=462s=7.7min

The time taken when the bird is moving with the wind will be 7.7 min .


(C) Due to wind, bird takes (20 鈥� 7.7) min less time compared with no wind.

You fly \(32.0{\rm{ km}}\) in a straight line in still air in the direction \(35.0^\circ \) south of west.

(a) Find the distances you would have to fly straight south and then straight west to arrive at the same point. (This determination is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the south and west directions.)

(b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction \(45.0^\circ \) south of west and then in a direction \(45.0^\circ \) west of north. These are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes鈥攐ne rotated \(45.0^\circ \).

Answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance (the initial angle being neither\(0^\circ \)nor\(90^\circ \)):

(a) Is the acceleration ever zero?

(b) Is the acceleration ever in the same direction as a component of velocity?

(c) Is the acceleration ever opposite in direction to a component of velocity?

Find the following for path C in Figure

(a) the total distance traveled and

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

In this part of the problem, explicitly show how you follow the steps of the analytical method of vector addition.

Figure: The various lines represent paths taken by different people walking in a city. All blocks are \(120{\rm{ m}}\) on a side.

A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of50.0m/sat an angle of30.0oabove the horizontal. It strikes a target above the ground3.00seconds later. What are the x and y distances from where the projectile was launched to where it lands?

Answer the following questions for projectile motion on level ground assuming negligible air resistance (the initial angle being neither \(0^\circ \) nor \(90^\circ \)):

(a) Is the velocity ever zero?

(b) When is the velocity a minimum? A maximum?

(c) Can the velocity ever be the same as the initial velocity at a time other than at \(t = 0\)?

(d) Can the speed ever be the same as the initial speed at a time other than at \(t = 0\)?
