Redraw Fig. 3.11a ifa→is antiparallel tov→. Does the particle move in a straight line? What happens to its speed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The acceleration and the velocity are antiparallel the velocity will decrease.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of Acceleration.

The rate at which an object's velocity changes with respect to time is called acceleration. Newton's Second Law states that an object's acceleration is the net effect of all forces acting on it.

02

Determination of

The redrawn figure for 3.11a is given by,

The particle's acceleration runs counter to its velocity. The particle's speed slows as a result.

Particles will travel in a straight path becausea→ andv→ are antiparallel. When a particle's speed approaches zerospeed will be slowed down, it retraces its journey only if the acceleration is in the same direction.

Thus, if the acceleration and the velocity are antiparallel the velocity will decrease.

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli’s equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road such that its distance from the light is given byxt=bt2-ct3, whereb=2.40m/s2andc=0.120m/s3. (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s, and t = 10.0 s. (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

You take an empty glass jar and push it into a tank of water with the open mouth of the jar downward, so that the air inside the jar is trapped and cannot get out. If you push the jar deeper into the water, does the buoyant force on the jar stay the same? If not, does it increase or decrease? Explain.

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?
