Chapter 2: Q. 9 (page 58)

You鈥檙e driving along the highway at a steady speed of 60 mph when another driver decides to pass you. At the moment when the front of his car is exactly even with the front of your car, and you turn your head to smile at him, do the two cars have equal velocities? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the two cars cannot have the same velocity.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

My car has a constant speed of 60mphand another driver decides to pass my car.

02

Explanation

My car has a constant velocity and the car that tries to pass my car should have an acceleration to reach at my distance. Even in the time of facing my car, the car driver should be in an accelerated motion before crossing my car. So the two cars never have an equal velocity.

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.

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother鈥檚 house. On the way to Grandmother鈥檚, Julie drives half the distance at 40 mph and half the distance at 60 mph. On her return trip, she drives half the time at 40 mph and half the time at 60 mph. a. What is Julie鈥檚 average speed on the way to Grandmother鈥檚 house? b. What is her average speed on the return trip?

One game at the amusement park has you push a puck up a long, frictionless ramp. You win a stuffed animal if the puck, at its highest point, comes to within 10 cm of the end of the ramp without going off. You give the puck a push, releasing it with a speed of 5.0 m/s when it is 8.5 m from the end of the ramp. The puck鈥檚 speed after traveling 3.0 m is 4.0 m/s. How far is it from the end when it stops?

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.
