Chapter 4: Q11Q (page 83)

Figure 4-28 shows four tracks (either half- or quarter-circles) that can be taken by a train, which moves at a constant speed. Rank the tracks according to the magnitude of a train鈥檚 acceleration on the curved portion, greatest first.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Rank:2>1=4>3

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Rank according to radius: 3 > 4 = 1 > 2

02

To understand the concept

This problem is based on concept of centripetal acceleration due to motion on curved path.

Formulae:

Centripetal acceleration is given by,

ac=v2r

03

The rank of the tracks according to the magnitude of train’s acceleration on the curved portion.

Centripetal acceleration can be written as,

a=v2r

Distance between the right side and the dotted lines represents the radius of the curved portion of the track. Radius of the curved portion of the track is smallest for track 2. For track 1 and 4, radius is same, but it is greater than track 2 and smaller than track 3. Radius is greatest for track 3.

As speed is same for all tracks, centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to radius of curve.

Hence, ranking according to acceleration is:

Rank:2>1=4>3

The only good use of a fruitcake is in catapult practice. Curve 1 in Fig. 4-24 gives the height y of a catapulted fruitcake versus the angle between its velocity vector and its acceleration vector during flight. (a) Which of the lettered points on that curve corresponds to the landing of the fruitcake on the ground? (b)

Curve 2 is a similar plot for the same launch speed but for a different launch angle. Does the fruitcake now land farther away or closer to the launch point?

In shot put, the shot is put (thrown) from above the athlete鈥檚 shoulder level. Is the launch angle that produces the greatest range45掳, less than45掳, or greater than45掳?

A particle moves so that its position (in meters) as a function of time (in seconds) is r鈬赌=i^+4t2j^+tk^. Write expressions for: (a) its velocity and (b) its acceleration as functions of time.

A helicopter is flying in a straight line over a level field at a constant speed of 6.2m/sand at a constant altitude of9.50m. A package is ejected horizontally from the helicopter with an initial velocity of12.0m/srelative to the helicopter and in a direction opposite the helicopter鈥檚 motion. (a) Find the initial speed of the package relative to the ground. (b) What is the horizontal distance between the helicopter and the package at the instant the package strikes the ground? (c) What angle does the velocity vector of the package meet with the ground at the instant before impact, as seen from the ground?

The pitcher in a slow-pitch softball game releases the ball at a pointabove ground level. A stroboscopic plot of the position of the ball is shown in Fig. 4-60, where the readings areapart and the ball is released at. (a) What is the initial speed of the ball? (b) What is the speed of the ball at the instant it reaches its maximum height above ground level? (c) What is that maximum height?
