A particle moves along the x axis. It is initially at the position 0.330 m, moving with velocity 0.250 m/s and acceleration -0.330 m/s?. Suppose it moves with constant acceleration for 3.40 s. (a) Find the position of the particle after this time. m (b) Find its velocity at the end of this time interval. m/s We take the same particle and give it the same initial conditions as before. Instead of having a constant acceleration, it oscillates in simple harmonic motion for 3.40 s around the equilibrium position x = 0. Hint: the following problems are very sensitive to rounding, and you should keep all digits in your calculator. (c) Find the angular frequency of the oscillation. Hint: in SHM, a is proportional to x. /s (d) Find the amplitude of the oscillation. Hint: use conservation of energy. (e) Find its phase constant o, if cosine is used for the equation of motion. Hint: when taking the inverse of a trig function, there are always two angles but your calculator will tell you only one…
A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.4 m/s at ground level. The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.80 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1030 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2. (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately.) (a) For what time interval is the rocket in motion above the ground? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. s(b) What is its maximum altitude? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. km(c) What is its velocity just before it hits the ground? m/s
A rock is fired straight downward from the roof of a tall building using a slingshot. If the rock leaves the slingshot with a downward velocity of 11.2 m/s, and reaches the ground with a downward velocity of 34.7 m/s, how tall is the building? How long is the rock in the air, in seconds?
A motorcycle starts at t = 0 from rest at x = 0 (the origin) and moves along a straight path (x-axis) with an acceleration of +2.8 m/s2. After travelling for 140 m, the rider slows down the motorcycle at 1.2 m/s2 (still going forward along the path) until its velocity is 16 m/s. At that point, he sees/hits a tree.(a) Find the velocity and the time when the motorcycle reaches x = 140 m.(b) How much time and how far does it take the rider to slow down the motorcycle from its velocity at x = 140 m to its final velocity of 16 m/s?(c) Hence, find the distance between the origin and the tree.(d) Sketch a well-labelled velocity-time graph from t = 0 to the time that the rider reaches the tree. Point out a relation between the graph and the answer in part (c)

Suppose you are standing at the edge of a 200 meter tall cliff and are in the habit of dropping objects from great heights. So, you drop a rock off of the cliff. (a) What are the initial position s(0), velocity v(0), and acceleration a(0) of the rock? b) Use your answers from part (a) to define functions s(t), v(t), and a(t) describing the position, velocity, and acceleration, respectively, after t seconds. (c) How long will it take for the rock to hit the ground? How fast is it falling when it hits?
Mature salmon swim upstream, returning to spawn at their birthplace. During the arduous trip they leap vertically upward over waterfalls as high as 3.31 m. With what minimum speed (in m/s) must a salmon launch itself into the air to clear a 3.31-m waterfall? in m/s
A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.8 m/s at ground level. The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1200 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2 For what time interval is the rocket in motion above the ground? What is the maximum altitude? What is its velocity just before it hits the ground?
A model rocket is fired straight up from the top of a 60-m-tall building. The rocket has only enough fuel to burn for 3.0 s. But while the rocket engine is burning fuel, it produces an upward acceleration of 60 m/s². After the fuel supply is exhausted, the rocket is in free fall and just misses the edge of the building as it falls back to the ground. Ignoring air resistance, calculate (a) the height above the ground and the velocity of the rocket when its fuel runs out; (b) the maximum height of the rocket; (c) the time the rocket is in the air; and (d) the rocket's velocity the moment before it hits the ground. S' Determine the y-component of velocity just before the rocket hits the ground.
