Chapter 4: Q. 2 (page 105)

Problems 1 and 2 show a partial motion diagram. For each:

a. Complete the motion diagram by adding acceleration vectors.

b. Write a physics problem for which this is the correct motion diagram. Be imaginative! Don't forget to include enough information to make the problem completely and to state clearly what is to be found.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Initially, the direction of acceleration is toward left then the direction of acceleration changes to the top.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Introduction

First, the velocity is reduced in the x-direction, acceleration is toward left.

02

Step 2. Explanation

When the plane takes a curve the acceleration is radial acceleration.

After completing the curve, the direction of acceleration is upward.

Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the acceleration of a rocket launch. The centrifuge takes 30sto speed up from rest to its top speed of 1rotation every 1.3s. The astronaut is strapped into a seat 6.0mfrom the axis.

a. What is the astronaut’s tangential acceleration during the first 30s?

b. How many g’s of acceleration does the astronaut experience when the device is rotating at top speed? Each 9.8m/s2of acceleration is1g.

Answer Problems 3 through 5 by choosing one of the eight labeled acceleration vectors or selecting option

I:a→=0→

3. At this instant, the particle has steady speed and is curving to the right. What is the direction of its acceleration?

On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 25 m/s at an 30°angle above the horizontal.

a. How much farther did the ball travel on the moon than it would have on earth?

b. For how much more time was the ball in flight?

A turbine is spinning at 3800rpm. Friction in the bearings is so low that it takes 10min to coast to a stop. How many revolutions does the turbine make while stopping?

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. You find the arrow stuck in the ground 60 m away, making a 3.0° angle with the ground. How fast was the arrow shot?
