Chapter 2, Problem 40AP

Two objects, A and B, are connected by hinges to a rigid rod that has a length L. The objects slide along perpendicular guide rails as shown in Figure P2.40. Assume object A slides to the left with a constant speed v. (a) Find the velocity vB of object B as a function of the angle θ. (b) Describe vB relative to v. Is vB always smaller than v, larger than v, or the same as v, or does it have some other relationship?

Motion with gravity Neglecting air resistance, the motion of an objectmoving vertically near Earth’s surface is determined by the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s2. Suppose a stone is thrown vertically upward at t = 0 with a velocity of 40 m/s from the edge of a cliff that is 100 m above a river.a. Find the velocity ν(t) of the object, for t ≥ 0.b. Find the position s(t) of the object, for t ≥ 0.c. Find the maximum height of the object above the river.d. With what speed does the object strike the river?
A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay= (2.80 m/s^3)t, where the +y direction is upward. a) What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? b) What is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?
A hollow plastic ball is projected into the air. There is significant air resistance opposing the ball’s motion, so the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration is not equal to g. At time t, the ball is moving up and to the right at an angle of 45° to the horizontal, as shown above. Which of the following best shows the magnitude a and the direction of the ball’s acceleration at time t?    a C  b A  c B  d D
