Chapter 2: Problem 65

In the problems, please assume the free-fall acceleration $g=9.80 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ unless a more precise value is given in the problem statement. Ignore air resistance. At 3: 00 P.M., a bank robber is spotted driving north on I-15 at milepost $126 .\( His speed is \)112.0 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}$. At 3: 37 P.M., he is spotted at milepost 185 doing 105.0 milh. During this time interval, what are the bank robber's displacement, average velocity, and average acceleration? (Assume a straight highway.)

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: The bank robber's displacement is 94950.06 meters north, his average velocity is 42.7642 m/s north, and his average acceleration is approximately -0.00142072 m/s虏.

Step by step solution

01

Convert units to meters and seconds

We need to convert the positions and velocities from miles/hour to meters/second. 1 mile = 1609.34 meters 1 hour = 3600 seconds Initial position: 126 miles * 1609.34 m/mile = 202778.84 meters Final position: 185 miles * 1609.34 m/mile = 297728.90 meters Initial velocity: 112.0 mph * (1609.34 m/mile) / (3600 s/hr) = 50.0268 m/s Final velocity: 105.0 mph * (1609.34 m/mile) / (3600 s/hr) = 46.8716 m/s
02

Calculate the time interval

The time interval is given to be from 3:00 P.M. to 3:37 P.M. (37 minutes * 60 seconds/minute) = 2220 s
03

Calculate the displacement

Displacement = Final position - Initial position = 297728.90 m - 202778.84 m = 94950.06 m
04

Calculate the average velocity

Average velocity = Displacement / Time interval = 94950.06 m / 2220 s = 42.7642 m/s (north)
05

Calculate the average acceleration

Average acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time interval = (46.8716 m/s - 50.0268 m/s) / 2220 s = -0.00142072 m/s虏 The bank robber's displacement is 94950.06 meters north, his average velocity is 42.7642 m/s north, and his average acceleration is approximately -0.00142072 m/s虏.

In the problems, please assume the free-fall acceleration $g=9.80 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ unless a more precise value is given in the problem statement. Ignore air resistance. A car traveling at \(29 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}(65 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h})\) runs into a bridge abutment after the driver falls asleep at the wheel. (a) If the driver is wearing a seat belt and comes to rest within a 1.0 -m distance, what is his acceleration (assumed constant)? (b) A passenger who isn't wearing a seat belt is thrown into the windshield and comes to a stop in a distance of \(10.0 \mathrm{cm} .\) What is the acceleration of the passenger?
please assume the free-fall acceleration \(g=9.80 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) unless a more precise value is given in the problem statement. Ignore air resistance. Superman is standing \(120 \mathrm{m}\) horizontally away from Lois Lane. A villain throws a rock vertically downward with a speed of $2.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\( from \)14.0 \mathrm{m}$ directly above Lois. (a) If Superman is to intervene and catch the rock just before it hits Lois, what should be his minimum constant acceleration? (b) How fast will Superman be traveling when he reaches Lois?
For the train of Example \(2.2,\) find the average velocity between 3: 14 P.M. when the train is at \(3 \mathrm{km}\) east of the origin and 3: 28 P.M. when it is \(10 \mathrm{km}\) east of the origin.
In the problems, please assume the free-fall acceleration $g=9.80 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ unless a more precise value is given in the problem statement. Ignore air resistance. A stone is thrown vertically downward from the roof of a building. It passes a window \(16.0 \mathrm{m}\) below the roof with a speed of $25.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .\( It lands on the ground \)3.00 \mathrm{s}$ after it was thrown. What was (a) the initial velocity of the stone and (b) how tall is the building?
If a car traveling at \(28 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) is brought to a full stop in \(4.0 \mathrm{s}\) after the brakes are applied, find the average acceleration during braking.
