An ambulance driver is rushing a patient to the hospital. While traveling at 72 km/h, she notices the traffic light at the upcoming intersections has turned amber. To reach the intersection before the light turns red, she must travel 50 m in 2.0 s. (a) What minimum acceleration must the ambulance have to reach the intersection before the light turns red? (b) What Is the speed of the ambulance when it reaches the intersection?
Bacteria move back and forth using their flagella (structures that look like little tails). Speeds of up to 50m/s(50106m/s) have been observed. The total distance traveled by a bacterium is large for its size, whereas its displacement is small. Why is this?
Blood is accelerated from rest to 30.0 cm/s in a distance of 1.80 cm left ventricle of the heart. (a) Make a sketch of the situation. (b) List the knowns in this problem. (c) How long does the acceleration take? To solve this part, first identify the unknown, then discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation show your steps in solving fir the unknown, checking your units. (d) Is the answer reasonable when compared with the time for a heartbeat?
An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity of 22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150m/s2 as it goes through. The station in 210.0 m long. (a) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (b) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (c) If the train is 130 m long, what is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves? (d) When does the end of the train leave the station?
While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b) List the knowns in this problem. (c) How far does the car travel in those 12.0 s? To solve this part, first indentify the unknown, then indicate how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, check your units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (d) What is the car’s final velocity? Solve for this unknown in the same manner as in (c), showing all steps explicitly.
A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water? To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now a known and identify its value. Then identity the unknown, and discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (c) How long is the dolphin in the air? Neglect any effects due to his size or orientation.
A ball starts from rest and accelerates at 0.500 m/s2 while moving down an inclined plane 9.00 m long. When it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where it comes to rest after moving 15.0 m on that plane. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first plane? (b) During what time interval does the ball roll down the first plane? (c) What is the acceleration along the second plane? (d) What is the balls speed 8.00 m along the second plane?
A garden snail named Archie, owned by Carl Branhorn of Pott Row, England, covered a 33-cm course in 2.0 min at the 1995 World Snail Racing Championships, held in Longhan, England (Fig. P1.13). Determine Archies average speed Sav = d/t in the appropriate SI units.
After a long and grueling race, two cadets, A and B, are coming into the finish line at the Marine Corps marathon. They move in the same direction along a straight path; the position-versus-time graphs for the runners are shown in Figure P2.7 for a minute near the end of the race. a. At time t1 is the speed of cadet B greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of cadet A? b. At time t2, is cadet B speeding up, slowing down, or moving with constant speed? c. From time t = 0 to time t = 60 s, is the average speed of cadet B greater than, less than, or equal to the average speed of cadet A? Explain.
