A lion and a pig participate in a race over a 1.80 km long course. The lion travels at a speed of 16.0 m/s and the pig can do 2.90 m/s. The lion runs for 1.440 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving pig, which eventually passes by. The lion waits for a while after the pig passes and then runs toward the finish line. Both animals cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds.

Concept explainers

Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration

In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.

Linear Displacement

The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.0 m/s, and her takeoff point is 1.1 m above the pool. Which of these two valid methods is the easiest to find how long her feet are in the air? Group of answer choices Break the problem in two parts. For part 1, find the time to reach her highest point by using v0 = 4 m/s, a = -9.8 m/s2, and vf = 0 m/s. For part 2, you can use the highest point above the board found in the previous problem and add it to her height above the pool. Then, using v0 = 0 m/s and a = -9.8 m/s2, you can find the time to reach the ground. Since you only care about the end points in this case, you can use v0 = 4 m/s, a = -9.8 m/s2, and Δy = -1.1 m to find the time to reach the ground.
