Assignment No: 01

1. On a dry road, a car with good tires may be able to brake with a constant
deceleration of 4.92 m/s2.
(a) How long does such a car, initially traveling at 24.6 m/s, take to stop?
(b) How far does it travel in this time?
(c) Graph x versus t and v versus t for the deceleration.

2. A mining cart is pulled up a hill at 20 km/h and then pulled back down the hill at
35 km/h through its original level. (The time required for the carts reversal at the
top of its climb is negligible.) What is the average speed of the cart for its round
trip, from its original level back to its original level?

3. A certain juggler usually tosses balls vertically to a height H.


To what height must they be tossed if they are to spend twice as much time in the
air?

4. If a baseball pitcher throws a fastball at a horizontal speed of 160 km/h, how long
does the ball take to reach home plate 18.4 m away?

5. An automobile driver increases the speed at a constant rate from 25 km/h to 55


km/h in 0.50 min. A bicycle rider speeds up at a constant rate from rest to 30
km/h in 0.50 min. What are the magnitudes of
(a) the driver’s acceleration and
(b) the rider’s acceleration?

6. While driving a car at 90 km/h, how far do you move while your eyes shut for
0.50 s during a hard sneeze?

7. Chris Huber set the 1992 world speed record for a bicycle. His time through the
measured 200 m stretch was a sizzling 6.509 s. In 2001, Sam Whittingham beat
Huber’s record by 19.0 km/h. What was Whittingham’s time through the 200 m?

8. At a certain time a object had a speed of 18 m/s in the positive x direction, and 2.4
seconds later its speed was 30 m/s in the opposite direction. What is the average
acceleration of the particle during this 2.4 s interval?
9. An electron with an initial velocity vi = 1.50 ×105 m/s enters a region of length L
= 1 cm where it is electrically accelerated (Follow Fig.1). It emerges with v =
5.70 ×106 m/s. What is its acceleration, assumed constant?

10. Figure (2) depicts the motion of a particle moving along an x-axis with a constant
acceleration. The figure’s vertical scaling is set by xs = 6 m. What are the
(a) magnitude and
(b) direction of the particle’s acceleration?
