Why do we use a spaceship in outer space, far from other objects, to illustrate Newton's first law? Why not a car or a train? (More than one of the following statements may be correct.) () A car or train touches other objects, and interacts with them. () A car or train can't travel fast enough. () The spaceship has negligible interactions with other objects. () A car or train interacts gravitationally with the Earth. () A spaceship can never experience a gravitational force.
A star is located atm. A planet is located atm. (a) What is the vector pointing from the star to the planet? (b) What is the vector pointing from the planet to the star?
Here are the positions at three different times for a bee in flight (a bee’s top speed is about 7 m/s ). (a)Between 6.3 s and 6.8 s , what was the bee’s average velocity? Be careful with signs.
(b)Between6.3 s and 7.3 s, what was the bee’s average velocity? Be careful with signs.
(c)Of the two average velocities you calculated, which is the best estimate of the bee’s instantaneous velocity at time 6.3 s ?
(d)Using the best information available, what was the displacement of the bee during the time interval from 6.3 s to 6.33 s ?
9 An ice hockey puck of mass 170 g enters the goal with a momentum of ⟨0, 0, −6.3⟩ kg m/s, crossing the goal line at location ⟨0, 0,−26⟩ m relative to an origin in the center of the rink. The puck had been hit by a player 0.4 s before reaching the goal. What was the location of the puck when it was hit by the player, assuming negligible friction between the puck and the ice? (Note that the ice surface lies in the xz plane.)
A man is standing on the roof of a building with his head at the positionm. He sees the top of a tree, which is at the position m. (a) What is the relative position vector that points from the man's head to the top of the tree? (b) What is the distance from the man's head to the top of the tree?
