HOMEWORK PROBLEMS Chapter 3: VECTORS AND TWO DIMENSIONAL MOTION

PART-A: Hand in your answers in class on scantron on Wednesday 15 September-2010

1. A catapult launches a large stone at a speed of 45.0 m/s at an angle of 55.0° with the horizontal.
What maximum height does the stone reach? (Neglect air friction.)
(a) 45.7 m (b) 32.7 m (c) 69.3 m (d) 83.2 m (e) 102 m

At maximum height (y =hmax), the vertical velocity of the stone will be zero. Thus,
vy 2  v0y2  2ay (y) gives

and we see that choice (c) is the correct answer.

2. A skier leaves the end of a horizontal ski jump at 22.0 m/s and falls 3.20 m before landing.
Neglecting friction, how far horizontally does the skier travel in the air before landing?
(a) 9.8 m (b) 12.2 m (c) 14.3 m (d) 17.8 m (e) 21.6 m

The skier has zero initial velocity in the vertical direction (0y = 0) and undergoes a vertical

displacement of y  3.20 m . The constant acceleration in the vertical direction is  g , so

During this time, the object moves with constant horizontal velocity vx  v0x  22.0 m s The horizontal distance
traveled during the flight is
x  vxt  22.0 m s0.808 s  17.8 m

which is choice (d).

3. A cruise ship sails due north at 4.50 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 45.0° north of
west at 5.20 m/s. What is the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat?
(a) vx = 3.68 m/s; vy = 0.823 m/s (b) vx = −3.68 m/s; vy = 8.18 m/s
(c) vx = 3.68 m/s; vy = 8.18 m/s (d) vx = −3.68 m/s; vy = −0.823 m/s
(e) vx = 3.68 m/s; vy = 1.82 m/s

Choose coordinate system with north as the positive y-directionr and east as the positive
x-direction. The velocity of the cruise ship relative to Earth is vCE  4.50 m s due north, with
r r
components of (vCE)x  0 and (vCE)y  4.50 m s . The velocity of the patrol boat relative to
r
Earth is vPE  5.20 m s at 45.0° north of west, with components of
rvPE x r   vPE

Thus, the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is vCP  vCE  vPE , which has components of

vrCP  y  rvCE y  rvPE  4.50 m s  3.68 m s  0.823 m s

Choice (a) is then the correct answer.

4. An athlete runs three-fourths of the way around a circular track. Which of the following

(a) His average speed is greater than the magnitude of his average velocity.
(b) The magnitude of his average velocity is greater than his average speed.

(c) Its velocity is perpendicular to its acceleration.
(d) Its acceleration depends on the angle at which the ball was thrown.
(e) None of statements (a) through (d) is true.

8. A student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with an initial
speed v0. At the same time, a second student drops a lighter blue ball from the same balcony. Neglecting
air resistance, which statement is true?
(a) The blue ball reaches the ground first.
(b) The balls reach the ground at the same instant.
(c) The red ball reaches the ground first.
(d) Both balls hit the ground with the same speed.
(e) None of statements (a) through (d) is true.
9. John throws a baseball from the outfield from shoulder height, at an initial velocity of 29.4 m/s at an
initial angle of 30.0 with respect to the horizontal. The ball is in its trajectory for a total interval of
3.00 s before the third baseman catches it at an equal shoulder-height level. (Assume air resistance
negligible.) What is the ball’s horizontal displacement?
a. 76.4 m
b. 38.2 m
c. 57.3 m
d. zero
Vx = 29.4 Cos 30 = 25.46 m/s
Distance = Vx * t = 25.46 * 3 = 76.4 m

10. A stone is thrown at an angle of 30 above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff with an initial
speed of 12 m/s. A stop watch measures the stone’s trajectory time from top of cliff to bottom to be 5.6 s. How
far out from the cliff’s edge does the stone travel horizontally? (g = 9.8 m/s2 and air resistance is negligible)
a. 58 m
b. 154 m
c. 120 m
d. 197 m
Vx = 12 Cos 30 = 10.39 m/s
Distance = Vx *t = 10.39 * 5.6 = 58.2 m

11. A boat moves at 10.0 m/s relative to the water. If the boat is in a river where the current is 2.00
m/s, how long does it take the boat to make a complete round trip of 1 000 m upstream followed by a 1
000-m trip downstream?
a. 200 s
b. 203 s
c. 208 s
d. 250 s
Time = Distance / velocity
T(downstream) = 1000m / (10+2) = 1000 / 12 = 83.3 s
T(upstream) = 1000m / (10-2) = 1000 / 8 = 125 s
Total time = 83.2 + 125 = 208.3 s

PART-B: Hand in your solutions to the following questions in class, on Wednesday 15 September-2010. Show the detailed calculations. Write your final
answers in the box.

12. A ball is rolled horizontally off a table with an initial speed of 0.24 m/s. A stopwatch measures the ball’s
trajectory time from table to the floor to be 0.30 s. (g = 9.8 m/s2 and air resistance is negligible)
a) What is the height of the table?
b) How far away from the table does the ball land?

yf = yi + Vit + (1/2)at2
yf = 0 + 0 + (1/2) (-9.8) (0.3)2
yf = -0.441 m Height of table = - 0.44 m

Distance = Vx * t
= 0.24 * 0.3 = 0.072 m

13. A fireman, 50.0 m away from a burning building, directs a stream of water from a fire hose at an angle of
30.0above the horizontal. If the initial speed of the stream is 40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike the building?

Time = distance / velocity

= 50 / (40 Cos 30) = 1.44 s

yf = yi + Vit + (1/2)at2
= 0 + (40 Cos 30)*(1.44) + (1/2) (-9.8)(1.44)2
= 18.6 m

14. Plane A is flying at 400 mph in the northeast direction relative to the earth. Plane B is flying at 500 mph in the north direction relative to the earth.
What is the direction of motion of Plane B as observed from Plane A?

VA = 400 Cos 45 i + 400 Sin 45 j

= 282.8 i + 282.8 j

VB = 500 j

Relative velocity = VB – VA = 282.8 i – 217.1 j

| V | = √( 282.8 2 – 217.1 2)
= 356 m/s
Direction = tan-1 (-217.1/282.8) = -37.5°
= 37.5 ° N of W
