- Does a car moving around a circular track with constant speed have (a) zero acceleration, (b) an acceleration in the direction of its velocity, (c) an acceleration directed away from the center of its path, (d) an acceleration directed toward the center of its path, or (e) an acceleration with a direction that cannot be determined from the given information?arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 3.00 m/s2. Because of the engineers action, the trains do not collide.arrow_forwardFigure OQ3.3 shows a birds-eye view of a car going around a highway curve. As the car moves from point 1 to point 2, its speed doubles. Which of the vectors (a) through (e) shows the direction of the cars average acceleration between these two points?arrow_forward
- Is it possible for speed to be constant while acceleration is not zero?arrow_forwardThe driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? A shopper pushing a cart through a market follows directions to the canned goods and moves through a displacement 8.00im down one aisle. He then makes a 90.0 turn and moves 3.00 m along the y axis. He then makes another 90.0 turn and moves 4.00 m along the x axis. Every shopper who follows these directions correctly ends up 5.00 m from the starting point.arrow_forward
- When the pilot reverses the propeller in a boat moving north, the boat moves with an acceleration directed south. Assume the acceleration of the boat remains constant in magnitude and direction. What happens to the boat? (a) It eventually stops and remains stopped. (b) It eventually stops and then speeds up in the forward direction. (c) It eventually stops and then speeds up in the reverse direction. (d) It never stops but loses speed more and more slowly forever. (e) It never stops but continues to speed up in the forward direction.arrow_forwardCan an object can be moving to the left, but accelerating to the right? Yes or No?arrow_forwardA photographer inside a helicopter descending vertically at 15m/s at an altitude of 55 m accidentally drops his camera.

- One car travels due east at a steady 40 km/h, and a second car travels due north at a steady 40 km/h. Are their velocities equal? Yes, they are both moving in positive directions. No, they are accelerating differently. No, they have different directions. Yes, they have the same speed.arrow_forwardA particle initially is moving at a velocity with Cartesian components (5.0 m/s, 4.0 m/s) and 5.6 s later it is moving at a velocity with components (8.0 m/s, 0.0 m/s).
