Answer to Problem 1OQ
Rank of the acceleration for the cases is
Explanation of Solution
The boy moves with constant velocity around the whole track. The passes through various regions in which some are straight and some are semi circular in shape.
The moment boy reaches circular path it expereinces acceleration force due to
Write the expression for the acceleration of boy.
Here,
Write the acceleration of the boy on straight path.
Here,
The moment boy reaches the straight path and moves with constant velocity.
Substitute
Therefore, acceleration is zero.
Conclusion:
Case (A)
The moment boy reaches point A, the radius of semicircular path is small as compared to point C.
Acceleration is inversely proportional to radius of circular path from equation (I).
Therefore acceleration increases as radius of circular path decreases.
Case (B)
Point B lies on the straight path. On this straight path boy moves with constant velocity.
The velocity does not change with time therefore acceleration becomes zero from equation (III).
Case (C)
Point C lies on the circular path.. This path has large radius as compared to point (A).
The moment boy reaches circular path it experiences acceleration The acceleration is inversely proportional to radius from eqaution (I).
Therefore the acceleration decreases as the radius inscreases.
Case (D)
Point D also lies on the circular path of larger radius . Therefore, boy experiences acceleration force.
The radius of the path is large, therefore acceleration is small from equation (I).
Case (E)
Point E is a straight path. The velocity of boy remains constant with time.
Therefore acceleration becomes zero from equation (III).
Thus, Rank of the acceleration for the cases is
(b)
The direction of velocity of boy at points A,B and C.
(b)
Answer to Problem 1OQ
The direction of velocity of boy at points A,B and C is
Explanation of Solution
Direction of velocity is always in the direction of the motion. The changes his direction of motion with time, hence direction of velocity changes.
Conclusion:
Case (A)
At point A boy moves on a circular track with some constant velocity. The boy moves toward north direction.
Therefore the direction of boy at point A is North.
Case (B)
At point B, boy moves on a straight track having velocity. The boy moves towards west direction.
Therefore the direction of boy at point B is West.
Case (C)
At point C, the motion of boy is on the circular path. On the circular path the direction of velocity is in direction of motion. The boy moves in south direction.
Therefore the direction of boy is South.
Thus, the direction of velocity of boy at points A,B and C is
(c)
The direction of velocity of boy at points A,B and C.
(c)
Answer to Problem 1OQ
The direction of velocity of boy at points A,B and C is
Explanation of Solution
The boy on whole track moves on two types of path, circular and straight path.
The moment the boy moves on circular path , the acceleration becomes perpendicular to the motion of the boy and it is directed towards its center.
The moment boy reaches the straight path the direction of acceleration is in the direction of velocity which is in the direction of motion.
Conclusion:
Case (A)
The boy moves in the circular path at point A. The direction of the velocity is in the north direction.
In circular motion, acceleration on the particle acts perpendicular to the direction of motion.
Therefore the direction of acceleration of the boy whose velocity is in north direction at point A will be in West direction
Case (B)
At point B, the boy moves in straight path. The boy moves with constant velocity. So the acceleration is not present and is zero from equation (III).
Therefore the direction of the acceleration at point b will not be present. The direction of acceleration is nonexistent.
Case (C)
At point C, the boy is in circular path. The direction of velocity of boy is in south direction.
In circular motion, direction of velocity is perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
Therefore, the direction of acceleration of boy having velocity in south direction at point C will have direction of acceleration in East direction.
Thus, the direction of velocity of boy at points A, B and C is

- Dr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.5 m/s at a height 1.5 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.arrow_forwardHello, there are several variables I have had to find for this problem but I am stuck on figuring out the last two. Please help!

In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for a rocket's position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t) = (RE3/2 + 3*(g/2)1/2 REt)2/3 where RE is the radius of the Earth (6.38 ✕ 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earth's surface (9.81 m/s2).
