How far does a car travel in 30.0 s while its velocity is changing from 50.0 km/h to 80.0 km/h at a uniform rate of acceleration

?

Answer:

v = u + a t

80 = 50 + a * 30

80 - 50 /30 = a

a = 30/30 = 1 m /s 2

s = u t + 1/2 at ^2

s = 50 * 30 + 1/2 * 1 * 30^2

s = 1500 + 1/2 * 900

s = 1500 + 450

s = 1950 m

Suppose a baseball pitcher throws the ball to his catcher.

amm1812

a) Same

b) Same

c) Same

d) Throw the ball takes longer

e) F is larger when the ball is catched

Explanation:

a)

The change in speed of an object is given by:

$\Delta v = |v-u|$

where

u is the initial velocity of the object

v is the final velocity of the object

The change in speed is basically the magnitude of the change in velocity (because velocity is a vector, while speed is a scalar, so it has no direction).

In this problem:

- In situation 1 (pitcher throwing the ball), the initial velocity is

u = 0 (because the ball starts from rest)

while the final velocity is v, so the change in speed is

$\Delta v=|v-0|=|v|$

- In situation 2 (catcher receiving the ball), the initial velocity is now

u = v

while the final velocity is now zero (ball coming to rest), so the change in speed is

$\Delta v =|0-v|=|-v|$

Which means that the two situations have same change in speed.

b)

The change in momentum of an object is given by

$\Delta p = m \Delta v$

where

m is the mass of the object

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

If we want to compare only the magnitude of the change in momentum of the object, then it is given by

$|\Delta p|=m|\Delta v|$

- In situation 1 (pitcher throwing the ball), the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = m|\Delta v|=m|v|=mv$

- In situation 2 (catcher receiving the ball), the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = m\Delta v = m|-v|=mv$

So, the magnitude of the change in momentum is the same (but the direction is opposite)

c)

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

$I=\Delta p$

where

I is the impulse

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

As we saw in part b), the change in momentum of the ball in the two situations is the same, therefore the impulse exerted on the ball will also be the same, in magnitude.

However, the direction will be opposite, as the change in momentum has opposite direction in the two situations.

d)

To compare the time of impact in the two situations, we have to look closer into them.

- When the ball is thrown, the hand "moves together" with the ball, from back to ahead in order to give it the necessary push. We can verify therefore that the time is longer in this case.

- When the ball is cacthed, the hand remains more or less "at rest", it doesn't move much, so the collision lasts much less than the previous situation.

Therefore, we can say that the time of impact is longer when the ball is thrown, compared to when it is catched.

e)

The impulse exerted on an object can also be rewritten as the product between the force applied on the object and the time of impact:

$I=F\Delta t$

where

I is the impulse

F is the force applied

$\Delta t$ is the time of impact

This can be rewritten as

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}$

In this problem, in the two situations,

- I (the impulse) is the same in both situations

- $\Delta t$ when the ball is thrown is larger than when it is catched

Therefore, since F is inversely proportional to $\Delta t$ , this means that the force is larger when the ball is catched.

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's, Julie drives half the distance at 30.0 mph and half the

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance to grandmother's house=100 mi

it is given that during return trip Julie spend equal time driving with speed 30 mph and 70 mph

Let Julie travel x mi with 30 mph and 100-x with 70 mph

$\frac{x}{30}=\frac{100-x}{70}$

x=30 mi

Therefore

Julie's Average speed on the way to Grandmother's house $=\frac{100}{\frac{50}{30}+\frac{50}{70}}$

=42 mph

On return trip

$=\frac{100}{2\frac{30}{30}}=50 mph$

6 A test of a driver's perception/reaction time is being conducted on a special testing track with level, wet pavement and a dri

mylen [45]

Answer:

a. 10.5 s b. 6.6 s

Explanation:

a. The driver's perception/reaction time before drinking.

To find the driver's perception time before drinking, we first find his deceleration from

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 0 m/s (since he stops), a = deceleration of driver and s = distance moved by driver = 385 ft = 385 × 0.3048 m = 117.35 m

So, a = v² - u²/2s

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = v² - u²/2s

a = (0 m/s)² - (22.35 m/s)²/2(117.35 m)

a = - 499.52 m²/s²/234.7 m

a = -2.13 m/s²

Using a = (v - u)/t where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 0 m/s (since he stops), a = deceleration of driver = -2.13 m/s² and t = reaction time

So, t = (v - u)/a

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (0 m/s - 22.35 m/s)/-2.13 m/s²

t = - 22.35 m/s/-2.13 m/s²

t = 10.5 s

b. The driver's perception/reaction time after drinking.

To find the driver's perception time after drinking, we first find his deceleration from

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 30 mi/h = 30 × 1609 m/3600 s = 13.41 m/s, a = deceleration of driver and s = distance moved by driver = 385 ft = 385 × 0.3048 m = 117.35 m

So, a = v² - u²/2s

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = v² - u²/2s

a = (13.41 m/s)² - (22.35 m/s)²/2(117.35 m)

a = 179.83 m²/s² - 499.52 m²/s²/234.7 m

a = -319.69 m²/s² ÷ 234.7 m

a = -1.36 m/s²

Using a = (v - u)/t where u = initial speed of driver = 50 mi/h = 50 × 1609 m/3600 s = 22.35 m/s, v = final speed of driver = 30 mi/h = 30 × 1609 m/3600 s = 13.41 m/s, a = deceleration of driver = -1.36 m/s² and t = reaction time

So, t = (v - u)/a

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (13.41 m/s - 22.35 m/s)/-1.36 m/s²

t = - 8.94 m/s/-1.36 m/s²

t = 6.6 s
