Chapter 2: Q54P (page 35)

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge43.9m above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down 1.00safter the first is dropped. The stones strike the water at the same time. (a) What is the initial speed of the second stone? (b) Plot velocity versus time on the graph for each stone, taking zero time as the instant the first stone is released.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Initial speed for second stone is 12.3 m/s

b) Graph for velocity vs time is plotted

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The height of bridge is, s = 43.9

Acceleration acting on both stones is equal to gravitational acceleration,g=9.8m/s2

02

Understanding the kinematic equations of motion

Kinematic equations of motion describe the relationship between displacement, velocity or acceleration of a particle.

From kinematic equations of motion, the equation for displacement is written as

s=v0t+12at2

(i)

03

(a) Determining the initial speed of second stone

The initial velocity of the stone is, v0=0m/s. Putting the given values in the equation (i)

43.9m=0+12脳9.8m/s2脳t2t2=43.9脳29.8t=87.89.8=2.99s

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?

(b) What is the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t=0,1.0, and t=2.0s?? (c) What is the average acceleration of the particle between t=0and t=2.0s? (d) What is the instantaneous acceleration of the particle at t=0,1.0, and 2.0s?

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=8.0鈥�m/s.. How far has the first moved at (a) time t=50ms(b) when the speed of the fist is maximum?

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?

Two particles move along an x axis. The position of particle 1 is given by x=6t2+3t+2(in meters and seconds); the acceleration of particle 2 is given bya=-8t(in meters per second squared and seconds), and, at t=0, its velocity is20m/s. When the velocities of the particles match, what is their velocity?
