Chapter 8, Problem 11CQ
When a ball is thrown upward, it spends the same amount of time on the way up as on the way down—as long as air resistance can be ignored. It air resistance is taken into account, is the time on the way down the same as, greater than, or less than the time on the way up? Explain.

- Check Your Understanding You probably recall that, neglecting air resistance, if you throw a projectile straight up, the time ii takes to reach its maximum height equals the time it takes to fall from the maximum height back to the starting height. Suppose you cannot neglect air resistance, as in Example 8.8. Is the time the projectile takes to go up (a) greater than, (b) less than, or (c) equal to the time It takes to come back down? Explain.arrow_forwardA bungee cord is essentially a very long rubber band that can stretch up to four times its unstretched length. However, its spring constant vanes over its stretch [see Menz, P.G. “The Physics of Bungee Jumping.” The Physics Teacher (November 1993) 31: 483-487]. Take the length of the cord to be along the direction and define the stretch as the length of the cord minus its un-stretched length that is, (see below). Suppose a particular bungee cord has a spring constant, for of and for. (Recall that the of (Recall that the spring constant is the slope of the force versus its stretch (a) What is the tension in the cord when the stretch is 16.7 m (the maximum desired for a given jump)?

- An electric car can go 150 km on a test track at a constant speed of 100 km/hr on one charge of its batteries. The test track is an oval with no stops or other cars. You can assume that air resistance is the only form of friction. How far can it go on the test track if it moves at a constant speed of 50 km/hr?arrow_forwardCalculate the work done by the force F→ when the car moves from x = 0 to x = 3.0 m.
