A ball is dropped from the top of a tall building. At the same instant, a second ball is thrown upward from the ground level. When the two balls pass one another, one on the way up, the other on the way down, compare the magnitudes
of their acceleration:
(a) The acceleration of the dropped ball is greater.
(b) The acceleration of the ball thrown upward is greater.
(c) The acceleration of both balls is the same.
(d) The acceleration changes during the motion, so you cannot predict the exact value when the two balls pass each other.
(e) The accelerations are in opposite directions.
When an object moves with constant velocity, does its average velocity during any time interval differ from its instantaneous velocity at any instant? Explain.
As a freely falling object speeds up, what is happening to its acceleration –does it increase, decrease, or stay the same? (a) Ignore air resistance. (b) Consider air resistance.
A car moving in a straight line starts atat. It passes the pointwith a speed of 11.0 m/s at. It passes the pointwith a speed of 45.0 m/s at. Find (a) the average velocity and (b) the average acceleration, betweenand.
Consider the street pattern shown in Fig. 2–46. Each inter-section has a traffic signal, and the speed limit is 40 km/h. Suppose you are driving from the west at the speed limit. When you are 10.0 m from the first intersection, all the lights turn green. The lights are green for 13.0 s each. (a) Calculate the time needed to reach the third stoplight. Can you make it through all three lights without stopping? (b) Another car was stopped at the first light when all the lights turned green. It can accelerate at the rate ofto the speed limit. Can the second car make it through all three lights without stopping? By how many seconds would it make it, or not make it?
