Chapter 2, Problem 23P
Each of the strobe photographs (a), (b), and (c) in Figure P2.13 was taken of a single disk moving toward the right, which we take as the positive direction. Within each photograph the time interval between images is constant. For each photograph, prepare graphs of x versus t, vx versus t, and ax versus t, vertically aligned with their time axes identical, to show the motion of the disk. You will not be able to place numbers other than zero on the axes, but show the correct shapes for the graph lines.

Each of the strobe photographs (a), (b), and (c) as shown was taken of a single disk moving toward the right, which we take as the positive direction. Within each photograph the time interval between images is constant. For each photograph, prepare graphs of x versus t, υx versus t, and ax versus t, vertically aligned with their time axes identical, to show the motion of the disk. You will not be able to place numbers other than zero on the axes, but show the correct shapes for the graph lines.

- An object is moving between two points on a circle with radius R. The object can only move along the circle. The function F is the path length travelled between two points on the circle. a. Assume that the position of the object along the circle is described by an angle θ with respect to the center of the circle and the x-axis. Is this angle a minimum set of generalized coordinates for this problem? b. Assume that the position of the object along the circle is described by two Cartesian coordinates x and y, where the origin of the coordinate system is the center of the circle. Are these coordinates a minimum set of generalized coordinates for this problem? c. What would be the holonomic constraint for the two Cartesian coordinates x and y for the motion around the circle? d. What would be the Euler equation for this problem in Cartesian coordinates with holonomic constraint and Lagrange multiplier λ.arrow_forwardAn object is released from rest at a height of h. During the final second of its fall, it traverses a distance of 38m. Determine h. I would like to know the solution but also maybe an explanation on how I would know what process to take. For the last second, I was able to find that final vf = 38m/s. That is vf = deltax/deltat, or 38m/1s. I plugged it in to vf2 = vo2 + 2a(deltax), since I think that vf shouldn't change for h, but I got the wrong answer. Please explain.arrow_forwardA bunch of keys was thrown directly upward by Macoy, who is looking out of the window, to be caught by Len-Len living on a room right above him. Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds, c. What is the keys' acceleration when it reached its highest point?d. What is the keys' velocity when it reached its highest point?arrow_forward
- The world's largest stuffed animal is a 420-meter-long snake built by Norwegian children. Assume the snake is laid out in a park, as shown in the figure below, forming two straight sides of a 115° angle, one side being 340m long. Olaf and Inge compete in a race they devise. Inge runs directly from the snake's tail to its head, while Olaf starts from the same place but runs along the snake. How much faster does Inge reach the head of the snake than Olaf if both children run steadily at 15.0km/h?arrow_forwardFor this problem, I know the answer is C but I do not know how to get there.

Please label sketches with events as well as GRASS and explanations to show your work. Please label triangle sides. Remember to have the magnitude rounded to a reasonable number of sig figs, the unit and the direction (if needed) in your answers.arrow_forward
- Suppose we are told that the acceleration a of a particle moving with uniform speed ν in a circle of radius r is proportional to some power of r, say rn, and some power of ν, say νm. Determine the values of n and m and write the simplest form of an equation for the acceleration.arrow_forwardYou will be studying the two-dimensional motion of a projectile moving in a vertical plane. We assume that there is no air resistance on the projectile. This lab is based on the theory presented in Chapter 4 of the Knight (5th edition) textbook. The diagram below shows the trajectory of a ball projected from the origin at time t=0. On the axes below the diagram, sketch the respective graphs for the projectile motion.

What parameter of the motion is given by the y-intercept of the velocity vs time curve? Explain.?arrow_forwardA. From the perspective of point x, vector a and vector b are approaching with around the same speed. From Joseph's perspective, the two are walking with around the same speed. Determine if vector a is approaching with the same speed, twice the speed, or half the speed from the perspective of vector b. Explain.B. Vectors x and y are moving with uniform velocities. If the image below is t = 0, how long will it take (in seconds) for vector x to be in the same position with vector y? How far should vector x have traveled (in meters) by the time it has overtaken the position of vector y?
