At time t = 0, a rock climber accidentally allows a piton to fall freely from a high point on the rock wall to the valley below him. Then, after a short delay, his climbing partner, who is 10higher on the wall, throws a piton downward. The positions yof the pitons versus tduring the falling are given in Fig. 2-43. With what speed is the second piton thrown?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the second piton thrown is 17 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Kinematic Equations of Motion

Kinematics is the study of how a system of bodies moves without taking into account the forces or potential fields that influence motion. The equations which are used in the study are known as kinematic equations of motion. The kinematic equations relate the displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time to each other.

02

Applying kinematic equations to a given situation to calculate the speed of the second piton.

According to the kinematic equations,

Y=(Vjt)(t)+12at2

In case of a first piton, at t = 3 s, and initial velocity Vi=0. Therefore,

y01=-12(9.8)32=-44.1m

Sign is negative since displacement was taken in the downward direction. So, height would be 44.1 m.

For second piton, initial position of the piston,

localid="1656151763529" y=y01+10=44.1+10=54.1my2=0att=3sec

According to the newton鈥檚 second kinematic equation,

y2-y=(Vi2)(t)+12at2

In this case, the second piton was thrown at t = 1 s.

y2-y0=(Vi2)(t-1)+12(9.8)(t-1)2 -54.1=2(Vi2)-19.6Vi2=17.25m/s17m/s

Hence, the speed of the second piton will be 17 m/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?

Question: A basketball player grabbing a rebound jump76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend (a) in the top15.0cmof this jump and (b) in the bottom 15.0 cm? (The player seems to hang in the air at the top.)

Inraces, runner 1 on track 1 (with time 2min,27.95sec) appears to be faster than runner 2 on track 2 (2min,28.15sec). However, length L2of track 2 might be slightly greater than length L1of track 1. How large L2-L1can be for us still to conclude that runner 1 is faster?

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?
