    Tutorial 1 – Week 2
    Kinematics

    1. A person jogs eight complete laps around a quarter-mile track in a total time of 12.5 min.
    Calculate:
    a) The average speed (Answer: 4.3 m/s)
    b) The average velocity in m/s (Answer: 0 m/s)

    2. Two locomotives approach each other on parallel tracks. Each has a speed of 95 km/h with
    respect to the ground. If they are initially 8.5 km apart, how long will it be before they reach
    each other? (Answer: 2.7 min)

    3. A car travelling 88 km/h is 110 m behind a truck travelling 75 km/h. How long
    will it take the car to reach the truck? (Answer: 3.0×101 s)

    4. A sports car moving at a constant speed travels 110 m in 5.0 s. If it then brakes
    and comes to a stop in 4.0 s, what is its acceleration in m/s2? Express the answer
    in terms of “g’s” where 1.00 g = 9.80 m/ss. (Answer: - 0.56 g’s)

    5. In coming to a stop, a car leaves skid marks 92 m long on the highway. Assuming
    a deceleration of 7.00 m/s2, estimate the speed of the car just before braking.
    (Answer: 36 m/s)

    6. A baseball is hit nearly straight up into the air with a speed of 22 m/s.
    a) How high does it go? (Answer: 25 m)
    b) How long is it in the air? (Answer: 4.5 s)

    7. A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 m/s.


    a) How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 11.0 m?(Answer: 10.4 m/s)
    b) How long is required to reach this height? (Answer: t = 2.90 s , 0.775 s)
    c) Why are there two answers to b)?
    8. Vector ⃗⃗⃗⃗𝐕𝟏 is 6.6 units long and points along the negative x axis. Vector ⃗⃗⃗⃗
    𝐕𝟐 is 8.5
    units long and points at + 45° to the positive x axis.
    a) What are the x and y components of each vector?
    (Answer: ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗𝐕𝟏𝒙 = −𝟔. 𝟔 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬 , ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
    𝐕𝟏𝒚 = 𝟎 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬 ,
    ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
    𝐕 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
    𝟐𝒙 = 𝟖. 𝟓 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝟒𝟓° = 𝟔. 𝟎 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬 , 𝐕𝟐𝒚 = 𝟖. 𝟓 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝟒𝟓° = 𝟔. 𝟎 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬)

    𝐕𝟏 + 𝐕
    (Answer: 6 units, 𝜽 = 𝟖𝟒° )

    9. Three vectors are shown in the figure below. Their magnitudes are given in
    arbitrary units. Determine the sum of the three vectors. Give the resultant in terms
    of
    a) components, (Answer: x = 24, y = 11.6)
    b) magnitude and angle with the x axis. (Answer: 26.7, 𝜽 = 𝟐𝟓. 𝟖°)

    10. A diver running 1.8 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff
    and 3.0 s later reaches the water below. How high was the cliff, and how far from
    its base did the diver hit the water? (Answer: height = 44 m , distance = 5.4 m)

    11. A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.8 m/s. At what
    angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the water land 2.0 m away? Why are
    there two different angles? Sketch the two trajectories. (Answer: 13° , 77°)
    12. A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 65.2 m/s at an angle of 34.5° above
    the horizontal on a long flat firing range. Determine
    a) the maximum height reached by the projectile (Answer: 69.6 m)
    b) the total time in the air (Answer: t = 7.54 s)
    c) the total horizontal distance covered (that is, the range) (Answer: 405 m)
    d) the velocity of the projectile 1.50 s after firing. (Answer: 58.1 m/s)

    13. A shot-putter throws the shot with an initial speed of 15.5 m/s at a 34.0° angle to
    the horizontal. Calculate the horizontal distance travelled by the shot if it leaves
    the athlete’s hand at a height of 2.20 m above the ground. (Answer: 25.6 m)
