In figure, a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to x axis. At time t=0, the red car is atxr=0and green car is at xg=220m. If the red car has constant velocity of 20 km/hr, the cars pass each other atx = 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of40 km/hr, they pass each other atx = 76.6 m. What are (a) the initial velocity? (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The initial velocity of the green car is-50km/h.
  2. The acceleration of the green car is -2.0m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Position of red car,xr=0

Position of green car,xg=220m

Velocity of red car in first case,v1=20km/hr

Point at which both cars cross each other in first case,x1=44.5m

Velocity of red car in second case,v2=40km/hr

Point at which both cars cross each other in second case,x2=76.6m

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

The problem deals with the kinematic equation of motion in which the motion of an object is described at constant acceleration. Using the second kinematic equation, equations for the displacement of the both the green and the red car can be written.

By solving these equations simultaneously, either velocity or acceleration of the green car can be found. And finally, using this value of velocity in any one of above equation, the acceleration of the green car can be computed.

Formula:

The displacement in kinematic equation is given by,

x=V0t++12at2t=xv

(a) Calculation for the initial velocity

Let distance between the two cars be xg=220at t = 0

Let v1be the 20 km / h = 5.56 m/s corresponding to the passing point of x1=44.5mand

v2be the 20 km/h = 5.56 m/s corresponding to passing point of x2=76.6mof the red car.

xg-x1=vgt1+12at12

Where,

t1=x1v1=44.55.55=8.00s

Substituting the values of in the above equation,

Where,

t2=x2v2=76.611.11=6.89s

Substituting the value of v2,t2anddin the above equation,

143.4=6.89Vg+23.74a

Solving above equations simultaneously, we get

The initial velocity of the green car

role="math" vg=-13.9m/s=-50km/h

Negative sign means velocity is opposite to the velocity of red car or along the direction.

Therefore, initial velocity of the car is .

04

(b) Calculation for the constant acceleration of the green car

Using vgin above equation, we get acceleration of the car

vg=-13.9m/s=-50km/ha=-2.0m/s2

The negative sign means it is along the -x direction.

Therefore, acceleration of the green car is -2.0m/s2

Water drips from the nozzle of a shower onto the floor below. The drops fall at regular (equal) intervals of time, the first drop striking the floor at the instant the fourth drop begins to fall. When the first drop strikes the floor, how far below the nozzle are the (a) second and (c) third drops?

You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 25m; both your car and the police car are traveling at 110km/h..Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.0s, (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, 鈥淚 won鈥檛 do that!鈥). At the beginning of that 2.0s,the police officer begins braking suddenly at 5.0m/s2(a)What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? Suppose that you take another0.40s to realize your danger and begin braking. (b)If you too brake at5.0m/s2,what is your speed when you hit the police car?

Figure 2-42 shows part of a street where traffic flow is to be controlled to allow a platoon of cars to move smoothly along the street. Suppose that the platoon leaders have justreached intersection 2, where the green appeared when they were distance dfrom the intersection. They continue to travel at a certain speed vp(the speed limit) to reach intersection 3, where the green appears when they are distance dfrom it. The intersections are separated by distancesD23andD12. (a) What should be the time delay of the onset of green at intersection 3 relative to that at intersection 2 to keep the platoon moving smoothly?

Suppose, instead, that the platoon had been stopped by a red light at intersection 1. When the green comes on there, the leaders require a certain time trto respond to the change and an additional time to accelerate at some rate ato the cruising speedVp. (b) If the green at intersection 2 is to appear when the leaders are distance d from that intersection, how long after the light at intersection 1

turns green should the light at intersection 2 turn green?

In a forward punch in karate, the fist begins at rest at the waist and is brought rapidly forward until the arm is fully extended. The speed v(t)of the fist is given in figure for someone skilled in karate. The vertical scaling is set by vs=8.0m/s.. How far has the first moved at (a) time t=50ms(b) when the speed of the fist is maximum?

Catapulting mushrooms.Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spore that is attached to the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side. The spore is bent over by the drop鈥檚 weight, but when the film reaches the drop, the drop鈥檚 water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches the speed of 51.6 m/sin a5.0mlaunch; its speed is then reduced to zero in 1.0 mmby the air. Using that data and assuming constant accelerations, (a) find the accelerations in terms of g during the launch. (b)Find the accelerations in terms of g during the speed reduction.
