Redraw Fig. 3.11a ifa→is antiparallel tov→. Does the particle move in a straight line? What happens to its speed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The acceleration and the velocity are antiparallel the velocity will decrease.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of Acceleration.

The rate at which an object's velocity changes with respect to time is called acceleration. Newton's Second Law states that an object's acceleration is the net effect of all forces acting on it.

02

Determination of

The redrawn figure for 3.11a is given by,

The particle's acceleration runs counter to its velocity. The particle's speed slows as a result.

Particles will travel in a straight path becausea→ andv→ are antiparallel. When a particle's speed approaches zerospeed will be slowed down, it retraces its journey only if the acceleration is in the same direction.

Thus, if the acceleration and the velocity are antiparallel the velocity will decrease.

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

(a) The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of the trace metal magnesium is 410 mg/day for males. Express this quantity in µg/day. (b) For adults, the RDA of the amino acid lysine is 12 mg per kg of body weight. How many grams per day should a 75-kg adult receive? (c) A typical multivitamin tablet can contain 2.0 mg of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and the RDA is 0.0030 g/day. How many such tablets should a person take each day to get the proper amount of this vitamin, if he gets none from other sources? (d) The RDA for the trace element selenium is 0.000070 g/day. Express this dose in mg/day.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient’s artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15×104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient’s blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient’s artery is blocked by the plaque?

A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 25.0 cm high and 10.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.50 cm2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the rate of 2.40 x 10-4m3/s. How high will the water in the bucket rise?
