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

A muon (an elementary particle) enters a region with a speed of5.00脳106m/sand then is slowed down at the rate of1.25脳1014m/s2. (a)How far does the muon take to stop? (b) Graph x vs t and v vs t for the muon.

Question: An iceboat has a constant velocity toward the east when a sudden gust of wind causes the iceboat to have a constant acceleration toward the east for a period of3.0s. A plot of x versus t is shown in Fig. 2-47, where t=0is taken to be the instant the wind starts to blow and the positiveis toward the east. (a) What is the acceleration of the iceboat during the3.0sinterval? (b) What is the velocity of the iceboat at the end of the3.0sinterval? (c) If the acceleration remains constant for an additional3.0s, how far does the iceboat travel during this second3.0sinterval?
