In fig. 2-27, a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel t

o an x axis. at time t 0, the red car is at xr 0 and the green car is at xg 220 m. if the red car has a constant velocity of 20 km/h, the cars pass each other at x 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of 40 km/h, they pass each other at x 76.6 m.what are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?

Answer:

a) V₀ = 13.5m/s

b) a = 2.1 m/s²

Explanation:

1) Convert velocities to m/s

i) 20 km/h × 1000m/kg × 1h/3600s = 5.556m/s

ii) 40km/h = 11.111m/s

2) Red car, time elapsed to reach position x = 44.5m

Constant velocity ⇒ x = V×t ⇒ t = x / V

⇒ t₁ = 44.5m / 5.556m/s = 8s

3) Red car, time elapsed to reach position x = 77.6m

t₂ = 76.6m / 11.111/s = 6.9s

4) Green car, distance run at t₁ = 8s, x = 44.5m

i) uniform acceleration equation d = V₀t + at² / 2

ii) d = 220m - x = 220m - 44.5m = 175.5m = V₀ (8) + a (8)² /2

175.5 = 8V₀ + 32a ↔ equation (1)

5) Green car, distance run at t₂ = 6.9s, x = 76.6m

i) d = 220m - x = 220m - 76.6m = 143.4

ii) 143.4 = V₀t₂ + at₂² / 2

143.4 = V₀ (6.9) + a(6.9)² / 2

143.4 = 6.9V₀ + 23.8a ↔ equation (2)

6) Solve the system of equations:

175.5 = 8V₀ + 32a ↔ equation (1)

143.4 = 6.9V₀ + 23.8a ↔ equation (2)

V₀ = 13.5m/s

a = 2.1 m/s²

A 0.150 kg ball on the end of a 1.10 m long cord (negligible mass)is swung in a vertical circle..
Aneli [31]
<span> For any body to move in a circle it requires the centripetal force (mv^2)/r. In this case a ball is moving in a vertical circle swung by a mass less cord. At the top of its arc if we draw its free body diagram and equate the forces in radial direction to the centripetal force we get it as T +mg =(mv^2)/r T is tension in cord m is mass of ball r is length of cord (radius of the vertical circle) To get the minimum value of velocity the LHS should be minimum. This is possible when T = 0. So minimum speed of ball v at top =sqrtr(rg)=sqrt(1.1*9.81) = 3.285 m/s In the second case the speed of ball at top = (2*3.285) =6.57 m/s Let us take the lowest point of the vertical circle as reference for potential energy and apllying the conservation of energy equation between top & bottom we get velocity at bottom as 9.3m/s. Now by drawing the free body diagram of the ball at the bottom and equating the net radial force to the centripetal force T-mg=(mv^2)/r We get tension in cord T=13.27 N</span>
