Chapter 2: Q. 28 (page 60)

Santa loses his footing and slides down a frictionless, snowy roof that is tilted at an angle of 30掳. If Santa slides 10 m before reaching the edge, what is his speed as he leaves the roof?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity of Santa before he leaves the roof is 10 m/sec

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Write the given information.

The Distance Santa slides before reaching edge is 10m

The angle of inclination is given as 30o
Let the initial velocity of Santa is u. The time taken by Santa to reach the edge is t. The acceleration due to gravity is g=10m/s2
The acceleration experienced by Santa is
a=gsin(30掳)a=10(0.5)a=5m/s2

02

Step 2. To determine the velocity of Santa before he reaches edge

Let the velocity of Santa isv

The distance traveled isS
Using the equation of motion,

S=ut+12at2
Insert the known values in the above expression
10=0t+12(5)t210=2.5t2t2=102.5=4t=2sec
Thus, the time taken by Santa to reach the edge is 2 sec.


Now, write the expression to determine the velocity of Santa
v=0+5(2)v=10m/sec

Therefore, the velocity of Santa is 10 m/sec

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.

Careful measurements have been made of Olympic sprinters in the 100-meter dash. A simple but reasonably accurate model is that a sprinter accelerates at 3.6 m/s2 for 31 3 s, then runs at constant velocity to the finish line.
a. What is the race time for a sprinter who follows this model?
b. A sprinter could run a faster race by accelerating faster at the beginning, thus reaching top speed sooner. If a sprinter鈥檚 top speed is the same as in part a, what acceleration would he need to run the 100-meter dash in 9.9 s?
c. By what percent did the sprinter need to increase his acceleration in order to decrease his time by 1%?

A 1000 kg weather rocket is launched straight up. The rocket

motor provides a constant acceleration for 16 s, then the motor stops. The rocket altitude 20 s after launch is 5100 m. You can ignore any effects of air resistance. What was the rocket鈥檚 acceleration during the first 16 s?

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?

A rock is tossed straight up from ground level with a speed of 20 m/s. When it returns, it falls into a hole 10 m deep.
a. What is the rock鈥檚 velocity as it hits the bottom of the hole?
b. How long is the rock in the air, from the instant it is released until it hits the bottom of the hole?
