Consider a moving object whose position x
is plotted as a function of the time t. The
object moved in different ways during the
time intervals denoted I, II and III on the
figure.

During these three intervals, when was the

objects speed highest? Do not confuse the
speed with the velocity.
1. During interval I
2. Same speed during intervals II and III
3. During interval II
4. Same speed during each of the three intervals.
5. During interval III correct
Explanation:
The velocity v is the slope of the x(t) curve;
the magnitude v = |v| of this slope is the
speed. The curve is steepest (in absolute
magnitude) during the interval III and that is
when the object had the highest speed.
3. During none of the three intervals

4. During each of the three intervals correct
5. During interval III only
Explanation:
For each of the three intervals I, II or III, the
x(t) curve is linear, so its slope (the velocity
v) is constant. Between the intervals, the
velocity changed in an abrupt manner, but it
did remain constant during each interval.

high bridge. At the same time another bullet
is fired from a rifle aimed straight down at the
river.

accelerate after leaving the barrel.

A small fish is dropped by a pelican that is
rising steadily at 0.52 m/s.
After 3.5 s, what is the velocity of the fish?
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .

A ball of mass 0.6 kg, initially at rest, is
kicked directly toward a fence from a point
20 m away, as shown below.
The velocity of the ball as it leaves the
kickers foot is 17 m/s at angle of 45 above
the horizontal. The top of the fence is 6 m
high. The ball hits nothing while in flight and
air resistance is negligible.
The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .

The velocity of a projectile at launch has a
horizontal component vh and a vertical component vv . When the projectile is at the highest point of its trajectory, identify the vertical
and the horizontal components of its velocity
and the vertical component of its acceleration.
Consider air resistance to be negligible.
Therefore, the distance that the ball passes

above the fence is
y = (6.43599 m) (6 m) = 0.435986 m .
Explanation:
g correct

The only force on the projectile is the gravitational force, which gives the projectile a
constant vertical acceleration of magnitude g.
There is no acceleration in the horizontal
direction, which means at the highest point,
the horizontal component of the velocity is
the same as the initial value vh .
One other obvious thing: the vertical component of the velocity is zero at the highest
point.

A brick is thrown upward from the top of a
building at an angle of 22.8 above the horizontal and with an initial speed of 14.3 m/s.
If the brick is in flight for 3.2 s, how tall is
the building?

The height of the building is determined by
the vertical motion with gravity acting down

Solution
Choose the origin at the base of the building. The initial position of the brick is y0 = h,
the vertical component of the initial velocity
is v0y = v0 sin directed upward, and y = 0

0 = h + v0y t

The force that completes the third law pair

wedge.
The the sum of the component of gravity
perpendicular to the surface of the incline
and the component of Fhand perpendicular

action-reaction pair; e.g., two forces equal and
opposite to each other.

Four forces act on an object.
Explanation:
The normal force points perpendicular to
the surface of the inclined plane. The weight
force points down. The Fhand also points
down. The friction force keeps the book from
sliding and consequently points up the incline.
For the normal force exerted on the book
by the wedge in the diagram, which force(s)
complete(s) the force pair for Newtons third
law (action-reaction)?

3. F1 < F2 , F3 < F4
4. F1 = F2 , F3 < F4 correct
5. F1 = F2 , F3 = F4
Explanation:
The object is not accelerating up or down,
so F1 = F2 . The object is accelerating to the
right so F4 is greater than F3 .
If the object is accelerating upward and to
the right, compare F1 to F2 and F3 to F4 .
1. F1 = F2 , F3 = F4
2. F1 = F2 , F3 < F4
3. F1 = F2 , F3 > F4
4. F1 > F2 , F3 < F4 correct
Explanation:
F1 > F2 causes acceleration upward and
F4 > F3 causes acceleration to the right.

The string connecting the m1 and the m2

passes over a light frictionless pulley.
Given m1 = 2.46 kg, m2 = 9.15 kg, m3 =
4.29 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s2 . The acceleration
of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
Find the downward acceleration of m2
mass.
Explanation:
From equation (1),

Find the tension in the string connecting the
m2 and the m3 masses.
Explanation:
Consider the free body diagrams:
T1 = m1 (a + g)
= (2.46 kg) 6.76755 m/s2 + 9.8 m/s2
= 40.7562 N .

Consider a conical pendulum, where a

string with length is attached to a mass
m. The angle between the string and the vertical is . The orbit is in the horizontal plane
with radius r and tangential velocity ~v.
Explanation:
The normal force exerted by the wall on
the rider provides the centripetal acceleration
necessary to keep her going around in a circle.
The downward force of gravity is equal and
opposite to the upward frictional force on her.
(Since this problem states that it is viewed
by a bystander, we assume that the free-body
diagrams are in an inertial frame.)
