Henrietta is jogging on the sidewalk at 3.05m/s on the way to her physics class. Bruce realizes that she forgot her bag of bagels, so he runs to the window, which is 38.0m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw the bag to her. He throws it horizontally 9.0s after she has passed below the window, and she catches it on the run. Ignore air resistance. (a) With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so that Henrietta can catch the bag just before it hits the ground? (b) Where is Henrietta when she catches the bagels?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) u =12.9m/s

(b)s =35.9m

Step by step solution

01

Newton’s law

The velocity contains two components, one is horizontal component and another one is vertical.

According to the newton’s laws of motion,

s=ut+12at2

Where, s, u, t, a, are displacement, initial velocity, time, and acceleration.

For the vertical and horizontal motion, the velocity component will be respectively.

02

Given

Henrietta jogging speed = 3.05m/s

Window vertical distance from the street = 38.0m

Passed time = 9.0s

03

(a) Initial Speed of throwing the bagels

The initial velocity is zero, so from the vertical motion equation,

s=12gt238.0m=129.8m/s2t2t=2.78s

So she has been jogging for

9.00s+2.78s=11.78s

The horizontal distance with this time she travels is,

s=uts=3.05m/s11.78ss=35.09m

Bruce must throw the bagels so they travel horizontally about 35.9m in the time period of 2.78s. Now from the Newton’s law,

s=ut35.9m=u2.78su=12.9m/s

04

(b) The catching distance point

Henrietta is at 35.9m distance from the building when she catches the bagels.

A certain fuel-efficient hybrid car gets gasoline mileage of 55.0 mpg (miles per gallon). (a) If you are driving this car in Europe and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L (1L = liter). Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car’s gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?

A physics professor leaves her house and walks along the sidewalk toward campus. After 5 min, it starts to rain, and she returns home. Her distance from her house as a function of time is shown in Fig. E2.10 At which of the labeled points is her velocity (a) zero? (b) constant and positive? (c) constant and negative? (d) increasing in magnitude? (e) decreasing in magnitude?

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 cube of oak wood with very smooth faces normally floats in water. Suppose you submerge it completely and press one face flat against the bottom of a tank so that no water is under that face. Will the block float to the surface? Is there a buoyant force on it? Explain.
