Sam heaves a 16-lb shot straight up, giving it a constant upward acceleration from rest of 35.0 m/s2 for 64.0 cm. He releases it 2.20 m above the ground. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of the shot when Sam releases it? (b) How high above the ground does it go? (c) How much time does he have to get out of its way before it returns to the height of the top of his head, 1.83 m above the ground?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Speed of the shot is 3.35 m/s.

b) Height above the ground it goes is 1.83 m.

c) Time required is 0.191 s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Acceleration a=35m/s2

Distance d=64cm=0.64m

02

Calculation for the speed

As we know that speed is the distance covered per unit time

s=dts=0.640.191s=3.35m/s

03

Calculation for the height above the ground it goes

Height above the ground it goes is 1.83 m.

04

Calculation for the time required

d=ut+12at20.64=0+12×35×t2t=0.191s

A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.

Your uncle is in the below-deck galley of his boat while you are spear fishing in the water nearby. An errant spear makes a small hole in the boat’s hull, and water starts to leak into the galley. (a) If the hole is 0.09 m below the water surface and has area 1.20 cm2, how long does it take 10.0 L of water to leak into the boat? (b) Do you need to take into consideration the fact that the boat sinks lower into the water as water leaks in?

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.

In Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold,the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and take its value to be about $10 per gram.

A physics professor leaves her house and walks along the sidewalk toward campus. After 5 min, it starts to rain, and she returns home.
