On a beautiful day you decide to go fishing with your younger brother Ben. Ben has not been fishing before so he doesn't know how to properly cast out his line. He puts the lure 25.6 cm above the water before letting it drop straight down. The line accelerates until it hits the water then continues to the bottom of the lake at a constant speed. It takes the lure 6.30 s to reach the bottom of the lake from when it was released by Ben.
How deep is the lake? (Assume the lure accelerates at the free fall rate of 9.8 m/s2 until it hits the water.)
Situation 01. Samantha has a height of 1.83 meters measured from the ground surface. She then lifts
a rock and throw it straight upward giving it an upward acceleration coming from rest of 35.0 m/s?
for 64cm. The ball was released 2.20m above the ground.
a. How high above the ground does the rock go?
b. Compute the time she must get out of its way before it returns exactly at her height.
A student drives a moped along a straight road as described by the velocity–time graph in Figure P2.58. Sketch this graph in the middle of a sheet of graph paper. (a) Directly above your graph, sketch a graph of the position versus time, aligning the time coordinates of the two graphs. (b) Sketch a graph of the acceleration versus time directly below the velocity–time graph, again aligning the time coordinates. On each graph, show the numerical values of x and ax for all points of inflection. (c) What is the acceleration at t = 6.00 s? (d) Find the position (relative to the starting point) at t = 6.00 s. (e) What is the moped’s final position at t = 9.00 s?
