A bolt is dropped from a bridge under construction, falling 90 mto the valley below the bridge. (a) In how much time does it pass through the last 20%of its fall? What is its speed? (b) When it begins the last20% of its fall. (c) When it reaches the valley beneath the bridge?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)Time required to pass through the last 20% of the fall is 0.45 s .

(b)Velocity when it starts the last 20% of the fall is 38 m/s .

(c)Final velocity when it is just above the ground is 42 m/s .

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the concept

The height of the bridge above the ground is given.The kinematic equations give the relationship between initial, final velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time.The required velocities can be determined by using kinematics equations.

The Initial velocity is v0=0m/s.

The acceleration due to gravity isg=9.8m/s2.

The distancetraveled by the bolt is, s=90m.

The kinematic equation for the final velocity in terms of initial velocity, acceleration, and time is,

v=v0+at (i)

The kinematic equation for the distance traveled is,

s=v0+12at2 (ii)

02

(a) Determination of time required to pass through the last of the fall

Calculation of the time required to cover the total distances1

s1=v0t1+12at1290m=0+129.8m/s2t12t12=9029.8t1=18090=4.28s

Therefore, the time required to cover the total distance is 4.28s.

Now, to calculate the time required to cover first 80% of the distance, find the distance that needs to be travelled.

s2=8010090m=72m

Initial Velocity v0=0ms

Acceleration is gravitational acceleration that is equal to9.8m/s2.

s2=v0t+12at2272m=0+129.8m/s2t227229.8=t22t2=1449.8=3.83s

Therefore, time required to cover 20% of the distance is equal to the difference between the time required to cover 100% of distance and the time required to cover 80% of the distance.

t=t1-t2=4.28s-3.83s=0.45s

Therefore, time required to pass through the last 20% of the fall is0.45s

03

(b) Determination of velocity when last 20% of the fall started

The time t2when last 20% of the fall starts is3.83 s

Putting the values in equation (i),

v2=v0+at2=0+9.8m/s23.83s=37.5m/s38m/s

Therefore, velocity when it starts the last 20% of the fall is 38 m/s .

04

(c) Determination of final velocity

The time when the bolt reaches valley beneath the bridge ist1=4.28s . Substitute the value in equation (i) to find the final velocity.

v1=v0+at1=0+9.8m/s24.28s=41.942m/s

Therefore, final velocity when it is just above the ground is 42m/s.

The 1992 world speed record for a bicycle (human powered vehicle) was set by Chris Huber. His time through the measured 200 m stretch was a sizzling 6.509 sec , at which he commented 鈥淐ogito ergo zoom!鈥 (I think, therefore I go fast). In 2001, Sam Whittingham beat Huber鈥檚 record by 19.0 km/h. What was Whittingham鈥檚 time through the 200 m?

To stop a car, first you require a certain reaction time to begin braking; then the car slows at a constant rate. Suppose that the total distance moved by your car during these two phases is 56.7mwhen its initial speed is80.5km/h, and24.4mwhen its initial speed is48.3km/h. What are (a) your reaction time and (b) the magnitude of the acceleration?

Figure 2-45 shows a simple device for measuring your reaction time. It consists of a cardboard strip marked with a scale and two large dots. A friend holds the strip vertically, with thumb and forefinger at the dot on the right in Fig. 2-45. You then position your thumb and forefinger at the other dot (on the left in Fig. 2-45), being careful not to touch the strip. Your friend releases the strip, and you try to pinch it as soon as possible after you see it begin to fall. The mark at the place where you pinch the strip gives your reaction time. (a) How far from the lower dot should you place the 50.0 m smark? How much higher should you place the marks for (b) 100, (c) 150, (d) 200, and (e) 250 ms? (For example, should the 100 msmarker be 2 times as far from the dot as the 50msmarker? If so, give an answer of 2 times. Can you find any pattern in the answers?
