Chapter 1: Q2DQ (page 57)

The black dots at the top of Fig. represent a series of high-speed photographs of an insect flying in a straight line from left to right (in the positive x-direction). Which of the graphs in Fig. most plausibly depicts this insect鈥檚 motion?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Fig (a) depicts the most plausible motion of the insect.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation

a) In the graph it is shown that the velocity of the insect is not changing with time, and two black dots represent the insect鈥檚 motion is constant with time; this means that the velocity is constant in the graph (a).

b) Here, the acceleration is decreasing with time at a constant rate but there is only one black dot, so we can not say that this is the most plausible motion of the insect.

c) The graph shows that the position of the insect is changing continuously but in a descending order, which contradicts the statement given in the question.

d) The velocity of the insect is increasing but there is one black dot, which shows its position. So, this is not the actual motion of the insect in graph(c).

e) The velocity of the insect is decreasing but there is again one black dot showing its position, therefore it can not be the most plausible motion of insect.

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?

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.

As a test of orienteering skills, your physics class holds a contest in a large, open field. Each contestant is told to travel 20.8 m due north from the starting point, then 38.0 m due east, and finally 18.0 m in the direction 33.0掳 west of south. After the specified displacements, a contestant will find a silver dollar hidden under a rock. The winner is the person who takes the shortest time to reach the location of the silver dollar. Remembering what you learned in class, you run on a straight line from the starting point to the hidden coin. How far and in what direction do you run?
