David is driving a steady 30 m/s when he passes Tina, who is sitting in her car at rest. Tina begins to accelerate at a steady 2.0 m/s2 at the instant when David passes.

a. How far does Tina drive before passing David?

b. What is her speed as she passes him?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a).Tina drives for 900 m before crossing David .

Part (b) The speed of 60 m/sec

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Write the given information

The speed of David's car is vD=30m/s

The acceleration of Tina's car is aT=2m/s2

The initial velocity of Tina's car is viT=0m/s

02

Step 2. (a) To determine the distance traveled by Tina as she passes David

Write the equation of motion for David,
s=vDts=30t..........(1)

Write the equation of motion for Tina

localid="1648466776525" s=viTt+12aTt2s=0+12(2)t2s=t2.......(2)
Since, both the cars pass each other at a point, therefore, equate the equation (1) and (2)

30t=t2t=30sec

At this time, both the cars would pass each other.

To determine the distance covered by Tina's Car when it passes David's car, insert the value of t= 30 sec in equation (2)
localid="1648467343719" s=(30)2s=900m

Thus, Tina drives for 900 m before crossing David

03

Step 3. (b) To determine the speed of Tina's car

Write the equation of motion,

vfT2-viT2=2asvfT2-0=2(2)(900)vfT=3600vfT=60m/sec
Thus, the speed of Tina as she passes Davis is 60 m/sec

When you sneeze, the air in your lungs accelerates from rest to 150 km/h in approximately 0.50 s. What is the acceleration of the air in m/s2 ?

FIGURE EX2.12 shows the velocity-versus-time graph for a particle moving along the x-axis. Its initial position is x0 = 2.0 m at t0 = 0 s. a. What are the particle’s position, velocity, and acceleration at t = 1.0 s? b. What are the particle’s position, velocity, and acceleration at t = 3.0 s?

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?

You are at a train station, standing next to the train at the front of the first car. The train starts moving with constant acceleration, and 5.0 s later the back of the first car passes you. How long does it take after the train starts moving until the back of the seventh car passes you? All cars are the same length.

In Problem 79, you are given the kinematic equation or

equations that are used to solve a problem. For each of these, you are to:

a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation(s).

Be sure that the answer your problem requests is consistent with

the equation(s) given.

b. Draw the pictorial representation for your problem.

c. Finish the solution of the problem.

x1=0m+0m/s2(5s-0s)+12(20m/s2)(5s-0s)2

x2=x1+v1x(10s-5s)
