Chapter 2: Q84P (page 38)

A rocket driven sled running on a straight, level track is used to investigate the effects of large accelerations on humans. One such sled can attain a speed of 1600 km/hin 1.8 s, starting from rest. Find (a)the acceleration (assumed constant) in terms of g(b) the distance traveled.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The acceleration of the sled is 25 g .
  2. The distance traveled by the sled is 400 m .

Step by step solution

01

Given information

vf=1600km/h=444.44m/st=1.8s

02

To understand the concept of kinematic equation of motion

The problem deals with the kinematic equation 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.

Formula:

The final velocity is given by,

vf=v0+at

The displacement is given by,

x=v0t+12at2

03

a): Calculation for acceleration

According to the kinematic equations,

vf=v0+at444.44=0+a1.8.a=246.99.8ms2=25.19~25g

Hence, the acceleration of sled would be 25g.

04

a): Calculation for distance traveled by the sled

According to the kinematic equations,

x=vit+12at2x=12246.91.82x=400m

So, the distance traveled by the sled would be 400 m

A world鈥檚 land speed record was set by Colonel John P. Stapp when in March 1954, he rode a rocket propelled sled that moved along a track at1020km/h. He and the sled were brought to a stop in1.4sec. In terms of g, what acceleration did he experience while stopping?

A red train traveling at 72 km/hand a green train traveling at 144km/hare headed toward each other along a straight, level track. When they are 950 mapart, each engineer sees the other鈥檚 train and applies the brakes. The brakes slow each train at the rate of1.0m/s2 . Is there a collision? If so, answer yes, give the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train at impact, respectively. If not, answer no and give the separation between the trains when they stop.

You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 25鈥�m; both your car and the police car are traveling at 110km/h..Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.0鈥�s, (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, 鈥淚 won鈥檛 do that!鈥�). At the beginning of that 2.0鈥�s,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 2-17 gives the acceleration a(t) of a Chihuahua as it chases a German shepherd along an axis. In which of the time periods indicated does the Chihuahua move at constant speed?

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?
