Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 88GP
In putting, the force with which a golfer strikes a ball is planned so that the ball will stop within some small distance of the cup, say 1.0 m long or short, in case the putt is missed. Accomplishing this from an uphill lie (that is, putting the ball downhill, see Fig. 2–48) is more difficult than from a downhill lie. To see why, assume that on a particular green the ball decelerates constantly at 1.8 m/s2 going downhill, and constantly at 2.8 m/s2 going uphill. Suppose we have an uphill lie 7.0 m from the cup. Calculate the allowable range of initial velocities we may impart to the ball so that it stops in the range 1.0 m short to 1.0 m long of the cup. Do the same for a downhill lie 7.0 m from the cup. What in your results suggests that the downhill putt is more difficult?

(III) Sketch the v vs. t graph for the object whose displacement as a function of time is given by Fig. 2–44
A person driving her car at 35 km/h approaches an inter-
section just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that
the yellow light lasts only 2.0s before turning to red, and
she is 28 m away from the near side of the intersection
(Fig. 2–49). Should she try to stop, or should she speed up
to cross the intersection before the light turns red? The
intersection is 15 m wide. Her car's maximum deceleration
is -5.8 m/s?, whereas it can accelerate from 45 km/h to
65 km/h in 6.0 s. Ignore the length of her car and her
reaction time.
