TUT2 Problems

The document contains a series of physics problems related to motion in one direction and in a plane, including calculations for average and instantaneous velocities, acceleration, and projectile motion. Each problem presents a scenario involving different objects, such as a truck, stones, a fish, and a discus, requiring the application of kinematic equations. The problems are designed to enhance understanding of concepts such as velocity, acceleration, and the effects of gravity.

 Tut  #2:  Motion  in  one  direction/  &  


Motion  in  a  plane    
 
1)  A position–time graph for a particle moving along the x axis is shown in
Figure P2.7. (a) Find the average velocity in the time interval t=1.50 s to
t=4.00 s. (b) Determine the instantaneous velocity at t=2.00 s by measuring the
slope of the tangent line shown in the graph. (c) At what value of t is the
velocity zero? (Ch2 Problem 7)

 
2)  A truck covers 40.0 m in 8.50 s while smoothly slowing down to a final
speed of 2.80 m/s. (a) Find its original speed. (b) Find its acceleration. (Ch2
Problem 28)

 
3)  An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 50.0m high
cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically
downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first
stone has an initial speed of 2.00 m/s. (a) How long after release of the first
stone do the two stones hit the water? (b) What initial velocity must the second
stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously? (c) What is the
speed of each stone at the instant the two stones hit the water? (Ch2 Problem
63)

4) A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity vi=(4.00i + 1.00j) m/s at


a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is ri=(10.0i -
4.00j) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 20.0 s, its velocity
is v=(20.0i – 5.0j) m/s. (a) What are the components of the acceleration of the
fish? (b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector ^i?
(c) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t=25.0 s and in
what direction is it moving? (Ch4 Problem 9)
5) A firefighter, a distance d from a burning building, directs a stream of water
from a fire hose at angle ui above the horizontal as shown in Figure P4.21. If
the initial speed of the stream is vi, at what height h does the water strike the
building? (Ch4 Problem 21)

6) A projectile is fired in such a way that its horizontal range is equal to three
times its maximum height. What is the angle of projection? (Ch4 Problem 15)

7) An athlete rotates a 1.00-kg discus along a circular path of radius 1.06 m.


The maximum speed of the discus is 20.0 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the
maximum radial acceleration of the discus. (Ch4 Problem 33)

8) An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal


circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.00 rev/s when the
length of the chain is 0.600 m. When he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is
able to rotate the ball only 6.00 rev/s. (a) Which rate of rotation gives the
greater speed for the ball? (b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at
8.00 rev/s? (c) What is the centripetal acceleration at 6.00 rev/s? (Ch4 Problem
38)

9) A car tyre 0.500 m in radius rotates at a constant rate of 200 rev/min. Find
the speed and acceleration of a small stone lodged in the tread of the tire (on its
outer edge). (Ch4 Problem 36)
