Chapter 2: Q1Q (page 31)

Figure 2-1 6 gives the velocity of a particle moving on an x axis. What

are (a) the initial and (b) the final directions of travel? (c) Does the particle stop momentarily? (d) Is the acceleration positive or negative? (e) Is it constant or varying?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The initial direction of travel is negative

(b) The final direction of travel is positive

(c) The particle stops momentarily

(d) The acceleration is positive

(e) The acceleration is constant

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The graph is given in figure 2.16

02

To understand the concept

From the given graph it can be seen that the initial direction of travel is negative whereas the final direction is positive. When the particle velocity is zero that means the particle stops momentarily. Further, the given graph represents the straight line that is ascending in a positive direction.

03

(a) Initial direction of travel

The graph starts below the x axis which indicates that the initial direction is negative.

Thus, the initial direction of travel is negative.

04

(b) Final direction of travel

The graph ends above the x axis which indicates that the final direction is positive.

Thus, the final direction of travel is positive.

05

(c) Does the particle stop momentarily

From the graph, it is seen that the line crosses the x axis. At that point, the velocity of the particle is zero. When the velocity becomes zero at that moment that means the particle stops momentarily.

06

(d) Whether the acceleration is positive or negative

the given graph starts from negative velocity to positive velocity which indicates that the velocity is increasing and the slope of v versus t is positive. Thus, the acceleration is positive.

07

(e) Whether the acceleration is constant or not

As the graph is a straight line, the acceleration is constant.

Figure 2-19 is a graph of a particle鈥檚 position along an x axis versus time. (a) At timet=0, what is the sign of the particle鈥檚 position? Is the particle鈥檚 velocity positive, negative, or 0 at (b)t=1s, (c)t=2s, and (d)t=3s? (e) How many times does the particle go through the pointx=0?

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/hflies off the front of one train when they are 60 kmapart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the bird flies directly back to the first train and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way). What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?

A rock is shot vertically upward from the edge of the top of a tall building. The rock reaches its maximum height above the top of the building 1.60safter being shot. Then, after barely missing the edge of the building as it falls downward, the rock strikes the ground6.00safter it is launched. In SI units: (a) with what upward velocity is the rock shot, (b) what maximum height above the top of the building is reached by the rock, and (c) how tall is the building?
