In 1889, at Jubbulpore, India, a tug-of-war was finally won after role="math" localid="1654754892705" 2h41min, with the winning team displacing the center of the rope 3.7m. In centimeters per minute, what was the magnitude of the average velocity of that center point during the contest?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the average velocity of the center point of rope during the contest is2.3cm/min

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Displacement, Δ³æ=3.7m

Time period, Δ³Ù=2h41min

02

Understanding the average velocity

Converts the displacement into centimeters.

Δ³æ=3.7×100cm=370cm

Converts the time interval into minutes.

Δ³Ù=(2×60)min+41min=120min+41min=161min

Using equation (i), the magnitude of average velocity of center point is calculated as follows:

vavg=Δ³æÎ”³Ù=370cm161min≈2.30min/cm

Thus, the average velocity of the center point by considering the displacement over the total time is2.30min/cm

A car can be braked to a stop from the autobahn-like speed of 200km/hin 170m. Assuming the acceleration is constant, find its magnitude in (a) SI units and (b) in terms of g. (c) How much time Tbis required for the braking? Your reaction time Tris the time you require to perceive an emergency, move your foot to the brake, and begin the braking. If Tr=400ms, then (d) what is Tbin terms ofTr, and (e) is most of the full time required to stop spent in reacting or braking? Dark sunglasses delay the visual signals sent from the eyes to the visual cortex in the brain, increasingTr. (f) In the extreme case in whichTr is increased by, how much farther does the car travel during your reaction time?

Figure 2-15a gives the acceleration of a volunteer’s head and torso during a rear-end collision. At maximum head acceleration, what is the speed of (a) the head and (b) the torso?

Suppose a rocket ship in deep space moves with constant acceleration equal to 9.8m/s2, which gives the illusion of normal gravity during the flight. (a)If it starts from rest, how long will it take to acquire a speed one tenth of light (c=3.0×108m/s )? (b)How far will it travel in so doing.

It then continues in same direction for another40 kmat 60 km/hr.(a) What is the average velocity of car during the full 80 kmtrip? (Assume that it moves in positive x direction) (b) What is the average speed? (c) Graph x versus tand indicate how the average velocity is found on the graph.

A world’s land speed record was set by Colonel John P. Stapp when in March 1954, he rode a rocket propelled sled that moved along a track at1020km/h. He and the sled were brought to a stop in1.4sec. In terms of g, what acceleration did he experience while stopping?
