Solve these problems:
A. Which of the equations below for position, x, as a function of time, t, is surely wrong?
- x(t) = 2 m - (5 m/s2)t2
- x(t) = 2 m + (2 m/s)t - (5 m/s2)t2
- x(t) =-(2 m/s3)t2 - (2 m/s3)t3
- x(t) =-(2 m/s)t - (2 m/s3)t3
- x(t) = 2m cos(t/(2s))
B. Which of the following cases represents the position of a particle which is approaching the origin at t=0?
- x(t) = 2 m - (5 m/s2)t2
- x(t) = 2 m + (2 m/s)t - (5 m/s2)t2
- x(t) =-2m - (2 m/s)t - (2 m/s2)t2 - (2 m/s3)t3
- x(t) = 3m - (2 m/s)t - (2 m/s3)t3
- x(t) = 2m cos(t/(2s))
For problems (3)-(5) You must show a correct method as well as a correct answer for full credit.
C. A rock is shot out of a cannon straight upward on the Moon. After it is shot and before it crashes back down its acceleration is the constant acceleration of gravity on the Moon, 1.6 m/s2 downward, its initial speed is 480 m/s and its initial height is 1.4 m.
- What is the greatest height that the rock reaches?
- When does it reach that height?
D. A 98.0 kg professor has stepped onto a floor with wet wax on it. Only two forces act on him: a force of gravity equal to -961 N k and a force, Ff, due to the floor. His position, r, as a function of time is given by r(t) = (1.00 m/s) t k . Find Ff .
E. In a color TV picture tube an electric field exerts a net force of
-1.60 X 10-13 N i on a positron, whose mass 9.11 X 10-28 g. What is the positron's acceleration?
