The official’s truck in Fig. 2.2 is at at and is at at x1=277m, at t1=16.0s, and is at x2=19mat t2=25.0s. (a) Sketch two different possible x-t graphs for the motion of the truck. (b) Does the average velocityvav-x during the time interval fromt1 tot2 have the same value for both of your graphs? Why or why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)

The required graphs are:

(b). Yes, the total displacement and time are same for both the graphs.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that x1=277mat t1=16.0s andx2=19m at t2=25s.

02

Part (a)

Draw the graphs for the given condition:

03

Part (b)

The formula to find the velocity at different position and at different time is, v=x2-x1t2-t1.

Use the given values into the above formula:

v=x2-x1t2-t1=19-277m25-16m=-258m9s=-28.67m/s

As the velocity is negative, then the vehicle is moving in negative direction.

Displacement is known as the shortest distance between two points, and in both the graphs in part (a), the shortest distance is same, where the velocity depends on the displacement only, not distance, hence the average velocity is the same for both the paths.

For the hydraulic lift shown in Fig. 12.7, what must be the ratio of the diameter of the vessel at the car to the diameter of the vessel where the force F1 is applied so that a 1520-kg car can be lifted with a force F1 of just 125 N?

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?
