Chapter 3: Q11. (page 68)

Which of the following statements are not valid for a projectile? Take the upward direction as positive.

(a) The projectile has the same x velocity at any point on its path.

(b) The acceleration of the projectile is positive and decreasing when the projectile is moving upward, zero at the top, and increasingly negative as the projectile descends.

(c) The acceleration of the projectile is a constant negative value.

(d) The y component of the velocity of the projectile is zero at the highest point of the projectile鈥檚 path.

(e) The velocity at the highest point is zero.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The statements that are not valid for a projectile are as follows:

(b) The acceleration of the projectile is positive and decreasing when the projectile is moving upwards, zero at the top, and increasingly negative as the projectile descends.

(e) The velocity at the highest point is zero.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Object velocity in projectile motion

The projectile includes horizontal velocity, which is parallel to the tangential plane of the surface.

The horizontal velocity can accelerate towards the center of the earth, and this acceleration is in the direction that is perpendicular to the horizontal velocity.

02

Step 2. Explanations for the given options

In the projectile motion, the horizontal component of the velocity remains the same during the entire flight.

Hence, option (a) is a valid statement.

The particle's acceleration during the projectile motion remains constant for the entire flight. It is never zero.

Therefore, option (b) is not a valid statement, and option (c) is valid.

At the highest point of the projectile motion, the vertical component of the velocity is zero, and the resultant of the magnitude of the velocities is lowest at this point.

Hence, option (d) is a valid statement, and option (e) is not a valid statement.

Therefore, options (b) and (e) are invalid statements.

A swimmer is capable of swimming at 0.60 m/s in still water. (a) If she aims her body directly across a 45 m wide river whose current is 0.50 m/s, how far downstream (from a point opposite to her starting point) will she land? (b) How long will it take her to reach the other side?

The cliff divers of Acapulco push off horizontally from rock platforms about 35 m above the water, but they must clear rocky outcrops at water level that extend out into the water 5.0 m from the base of the cliff directly under their launch point. See Fig. 3鈥�53. What minimum push-off speed is necessary to clear the rocks? How long are they in the air?

A hunter is aiming horizontally at a monkey who is sitting in a tree. The monkey is so terrified when it sees the gun that it falls off the tree. At that very instant, the hunter pulls the trigger. What will happen?

(a) The bullet will miss the monkey because the monkey falls down while the bullet speeds straight forward.

(b) The bullet will hit the monkey because both the monkey and the bullet are falling downward at the same rate due to gravity.

(c) The bullet will miss the monkey because, although both the monkey and the bullet are falling down due to gravity, the monkey is falling faster.

(d) It depends on how far the hunter is from the monkey.

A tiger leaps horizontally from a 7.5-m-high rock with a speed of3m/s. How far from the base of the rock will she land?

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0-m-high diving board and strikes the water 1.3 s later, 3.0 m beyond the end of the board. Considering the diver as a particle, determine: (a) her initial velocity,v鈫�0, (b) the maximum height reached; and (c) the velocityv鈫�fwith which she enters the water.
