Chapter 2: Q. 44 (page 61)

Draw position, velocity, and acceleration graphs for the ball shown in FIGURE P2.44. See Problem 43 for more information.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Initially, the ball is stationary at a maximum position resulting in zero velocity. The position-time graph shows that with increasing time the ball is coming down from its maximum position to minimum position and then follows the parabolic path. The velocity of the ball increases in the negative direction becomes maximum and then decreases with increasing time. From the acceleration-time graph, it can be observed that the acceleration has a constant negative value initially and it goes from negative to a positive constant value as the ball reaches the minimum position in the given diagram.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given figure is

02

Position-versus-time graph

Let s be the distance along the track measured from the left and t be the time.

The graph of position-versus-time is shown below

03

Velocity-versus-time graph

Let vsbe the velocity of the ball. The graph of velocity-versus-time for the given situation is shown below

04

Acceleration-versus-time graph

Let asbe the acceleration of the ball. As the angle of inclination is the same, the magnitude of the acceleration is the same on all tracks. The graph of acceleration-versus-time for the given situation is shown below

Most popular questions from this chapter

A rubber ball is shot straight up from the ground with speed v0. Simultaneously, a second rubber ball at a height h directly above the first ball is dropped from rest.
a. At what height above the ground do the balls collide? Your answer will be an algebraic expression in terms of h, v0, and g.
b. What is the maximum value of h for which a collision occurs before the first ball falls back to the ground?
c. For what value of h does the collision occur at the instant when the first ball is at its highest point?

You are 9.0 m from the door of your bus, behind the bus, when it pulls away with an acceleration of 1.0 m/s2. You instantly start running toward the still-open door at 4.5 m/s.

a. How long does it take for you to reach the open door and

jump in?

b. What is the maximum time you can wait before starting to run and still catch the bus?

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.

A jet plane is cruising at 300 m/s when suddenly the pilot turns the engines up to full throttle. After traveling 4.0 km, the jet is moving at a speed of 400 m/s. What is the jet鈥檚 acceleration, assuming it to be a constant acceleration?

A cheetah spots a Thomson鈥檚 gazelle, its preferred prey, and

leaps into action, quickly accelerating to its top speed of 30 m/s, the highest of any land animal. However, a cheetah can maintain this extreme speed for only 15 s before having to let up. The cheetah is 170 m from the gazelle as it reaches top speed, and the gazelle sees the cheetah at just this instant. With negligible reaction time, the gazelle heads directly away from the cheetah, accelerating at 4.6m/s2for 5.0 s, then running at constant speed. Does the gazelle escape? If so, by what distance is the gazelle in front when the cheetah gives up?
