FIGURE EX2.11 shows the velocity graph of a particle moving along the x-axis. Its initial position is x0 = 2.0 m at t0 = 0 s. At t = 2.0 s, what are the particle鈥檚 (a) position, (b) velocity, and (c) acceleration?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The position of a particle at t=2.0sis localid="1648454766029" 10m.

(b) The velocity of a particle at t=2.0s is 2ms.

(c) The acceleration of a particle att=2.0sis-2ms2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The initial position of the particle x0=2m

Initial time ist0=0s

02

Part (a): The position of a particle at t=2s.

The displacement of a particle x=xf-x0between t0and tfis the area under the curve from t0=0to tf=2s. In this case, the area is equal to sum of triangle and rectangle as follows.

Thus, the area under velocity - time curve is

x=area of the triangle and rectangle t=0sand tf=2s.

localid="1648454664157" role="math" x=122s4ms+2s2m/s=8m

Now,

The position of a particle at t=2sis given by

xf=x0+area under the velocity curve vsbetween t0and tf

localid="1648454683214" role="math" xf=2m+8m=10m

Therefore, the position of a particle at t=2sis localid="1648454696315" role="math" 10m.

03

Part (b): The velocity of a particle at t=2s.

From the given velocity-versus-time graph it can be observed that t=2scorresponds to vs=2ms.

Therefore, the velocity of a particle att=2sis2ms.

04

Part (c): An acceleration of a particle at t=2s.

Acceleration is given by the slope of the velocity-versus-time graph.

Consider two points on the graph t1,v1=0,6and t2,v2=3,0.

The acceleration of a particle att=2sis

a=v2-v1t2-t1=0-63-0=-2ms2

Therefore an acceleration of a particle att=2sis-2ms2.

a. What constant acceleration, in SI units, must a car have to go from zero to 60 mph in 10 s? b. How far has the car traveled when it reaches 60 mph? Give your answer both in SI units and in feet.

You鈥檙e driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s

when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s2.

a. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?

b. What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?

For Questions 1 through 3, interpret the position graph given in each

figure by writing a very short 鈥渟tory鈥 of what is happening. Be creative!

Have characters and situations! Simply saying that 鈥渁 car moves

100 meters to the right鈥 doesn鈥檛 qualify as a story. Your stories should

make specific reference to information you obtain from the graph, such

as distance moved or time elapsed.

A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5.0 m

above the water. After entering the water, it sinks to the bottom with a constant velocity equal to the velocity with which it hit the water. The ball reaches the bottom 3.0 s after it is released. How deep is the lake?

The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary

space with a forward speed of 50 km/s. To the crew鈥檚 great surprise,

a Klingon ship is 100 km directly ahead, traveling in the

same direction at a mere 20 km/s. Without evasive action, the

Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just

slightly over 3.0 s. The Enterprise鈥檚 computers react instantly to

brake the ship. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise

need to just barely avoid a collision with the Klingon ship?

Assume the acceleration is constant.

Hint: Draw a position-versus-time graph showing the motions

of both the Enterprise and the Klingon ship. Let x0 = 0 km be

the location of the Enterprise as it returns from warp drive. How

do you show graphically the situation in which the collision is

鈥渂arely avoided鈥? Once you decide what it looks like graphically,

express that situation mathematically.
