Chapter 4, Problem 62P
Consider the motion of a bicycle with air drag included. We saw how to deal with the motion on a hill in connection with Figure 4.33. Now assume the bicycle is coasting on level ground and is being pushed along by a tailwind of 4.5 m/s (about 10 mi/h). If the bicycle starts from rest at t = 0, what is the acceleration of the bicycle at that moment? Assume there are no frictional forces (e.g., from the bicycle’s tires or bearings, or any other source) opposing the motion of the bicycle.

You will be diving from the 5m (highest) platform at the University of Toronto Varsity Pool. You know that your acceleration while falling will be the acceleration of gravity, 9.81m/s2 , but you’re wondering about the rate at which you’ll be slowing down once you enter the water – and really – will it hurt. Science has shown us that 2 times the acceleration of gravity is exhilarating (like a roller coaster), but at 3 times the acceleration of gravity most people are uncomfortable. You estimate that it will take 0.64s to stop once you enter the water. You and your friends decide to figure out what your acceleration will be before you commit to making the dive.a) What will your acceleration in the water be?b) Will it hurt?arrow_forward
