Name : ________________________________________ Period: ________ Physics 1 Honors Homework Packet – Topic 2 – Constant Velocity Particle This packet contains questions for the entire topic. Not all questions will be assigned at the same time. As we review the content in class, you will be assigned specific problems which will be due the following class. Each problem will be stamped in class the day it is due, provided you show the work necessary and the answer. The completed packet with stamps will be turned in on the day of the test.
Question #1 Given below is the motion diagram of a small ball rolling straight on a frictionless surface. The time interval between successive positions is 1 s. a. What is the displacement of the ball after 3 s? b. b. Where does the ball reach after 5 s? c. After rolling for 7 s, the direction of motion of the ball is changed. It starts rolling toward its starting point. Assume the coordinate system and the speed of the ball to remain unchanged. What is the displacement of the ball between 7 s and 9 s?
Question #2 A bowler rolls a bowling ball down the gutter. The ball travels 60 feet in 5 seconds. a. Draw a particle model motion diagram with 1 second intervals. b. Construct the corresponding position-time graph.
Question #3 A mouse is running at a high speed between the kitchen and storeroom, situated along the same line in a building. A boy observes the mouse picking up pieces of bread from the kitchen and leaving them in a box in the storeroom. The boy observes the positions of the mouse after fixed intervals. He finds that the mouse travels the same displacement of 2.0 m in every half second. Starting from the door of the kitchen, the mouse reaches the door of the storeroom in 3.0 s. a. Make a position-time table for the motion of the mouse from the kitchen to the storeroom. b. Draw the particle model of this motion. c. Convert this model into the corresponding position-time graph.
Question #4 You are making a map of some of your favorite locations in town. The streets run north–south and east–west and the blocks are exactly 200 m long. As you map the locations, you walk three blocks north, four blocks east, one block north, one block west, and four blocks south. a. Draw a diagram to show your route. b. What is the total distance that you traveled while making the map? c. Use your diagram to determine your final displacement from your starting point. d. What vector will you follow to return to your starting point?
Question #5 The position-time graph below represents the motion of three people in an airport moving toward the same departure gate. a. Which person travels the farthest during the period shown? b. Which person travels fastest by riding a motorized cart? How can you tell? c. Which person starts closest to the departure gate? d. Which person appears to be going to the wrong gate?
