Chapter P.2, Problem 25P
Additional Integrated Problems
A child’s sled has rails that slide with little friction across the snow. Logan has an old wooden sled with heavy iron rails that has a mass of 10 kg—quite a bit for a 30 kg child! Logan runs at 4.0 m/s and leaps onto the stationary sled and holds on tight as it slides forward. The impact time with the sled is 0.25 s.
a. Immediately after Logan jumps on the sled, how fast is it moving?
b. What was the force on the sled during the impact?
c. How much energy was “lost” in the impact? Where did this energy go?

- Scientists and engineers must interpret problems from various sources. We can practice this skill anytime we read a newspaper or magazine or browse the Internet. Consider the Rocket Car urban legend that can be found on many Internet sites, in which the Arizona Highway Patrol allegedly found the vaporized wreckage of an automobile. The story goes that after some analysis and investigation, it was believed that a former Air Force Sergeant attached solid-fuel rockets to his 1967 Chevy Impala and ignited the rockets approximately 3.9 miles from the crash site. The vehicle quickly reached a speed of approximately 275 mph. It continued at this speed for 20 to 25 seconds. The car remained on the highway for 2.6 miles before the driver applied the brakes. The brakes melted and the tires blew out, causing the vehicle to become airborne. It traveled through the air for 1.3 miles before it hit a cliff face 125 feet above the road. Of course, this story was debunked. It is physically implausible, but it can still provide an opportunity to practice analyzing a problem. a. C Draw a Sketch of the Situation. b. C For the constant-velocity part of the cars motion, identify initial and final positions, the velocity, and the time interval. c. N Calculate the displacement using the position data and then again using the velocity and time data. Are your results consistent? d. C If your results are not consistent, reread the legend and identify possible sources of the discrepancy.arrow_forwardReview I Constants Three objects A, B, and C are moving as shown in the figure below (Figure 1).

- Thomas the train traveling at 25.0 m/s sights Percy the train 200 m ahead on the same track. Percy is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as Thomas. Thomas immediately applies the brakes and was able to slow down by 0.100 m/s2 while the Percy unknowingly continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of Thomas he applies the brakes.
