CHAPTER 1
MEASUREMENT AND PROBLEM SOLVING
Remind students that their answers to odd-numbered exercises may be slightly different from those given here
because of rounding. Refer to Problem-Solving Hint: The "Correct" Answer in Chapter 1.
Multiple Choice:
1. (c).
2. (b).
3. (c).
4. (b). The gram is the mass of one cm3 of water, so the kilogram (1000 g) and tonne (1000 kg) are all related to a
volume of water. Only the pound is not related to a volume of water.
5. (b).
6. (b).
7. (a).
8. (d). A quart is slightly less than a liter, 2000 μL is 2 mL, and 2000 mL is 2 L, so 2000 mL has the greatest volume.
9. (c). Micro- is 10-6, centi- is 10-2, nano- is 10-9, and milli- is 10-3, so nano- is the smallest.
10. (d).
11. (d).
12. (c).
13. (a). The kg is a unit of mass and the lb is a unit of force. At the surface of the Earth, 1 kg is equivalent to 2.2 lb,
which means that a 1-kg object weighs 2.2 lb.
14. (c). Because the μL is the smallest volume of those listed, you will need more of them to make up any given volume,
and hence a larger number of μL.

Conceptual Questions:
1. Because there are no more fundamental units. The units of all quantities can be expressed in terms of the
fundamental, or base, units.
2. Weight depends on the force of gravity, which can vary with location.
3. The mean solar day replaced the original definition. No, because this has been replaced by atomic clocks.
4. One major difference is the decimal versus duodecimal basis. Another difference is that SI basic units are meters,
kilograms and seconds, whereas the British system uses feet, pounds and seconds.
5. No, because 3 cm is over an inch. Ladybugs are on the order of several mm long. Yes, a 10-kg salmon would weigh
on the order of 22 pounds, which is typical for a medium sized fish like that.
6. This is by definition3
1 L 1000 mL and 1 L 1000 cm .= =
7. The metric ton is actually a misnomer since it is not a weight unit but a mass unit, defined as the mass of 1 cubic
meter of water. But3
l m 1000 L= and 1 L of water has a mass of 1 kg. So one metric ton is equal to 1000 kg.
8. No, it only tells if the equation is dimensionally correct. You could be missing (or have extra) dimensionless
numbers such as ½ or π.
9. No, unit analysis can only tell if it is dimensionally correct. Dimensionless factors such as π may be missing.
10. By putting in units and solving for those of the unknown quantity.

11. π is dimensionless and therefore also unitless because it is defined as the ratio of two lengths, the circumference to
the diameter of a circle.
12. No, they are not the same. An equivalent statement is not dimensionally correct.
13. Yes, whether you multiply or divide should be consistent with unit analysis for the final answer.

16. No, there is always one doubtful digit, the last digit.
17. For (a) and (b), the result should have the least number of significant figures. For (c) and (d), the result should have
the least number of decimal places.
18. Because 5 is midway between the upper and lower extremes of 9 and 1.
19. See the six steps as listed in Chapter 1.
20. No, since an order of magnitude calculation is only an estimate.
21. The accuracy of the answer is expected to be within a factor of 10 of the correct answer.
22. Approximate the area of skin-covered body parts using familiar geometric shapes. For example, use a sphere for the
head and cylinders for the arms, legs, and torso.
23. Since a liter is close to a quart and there are four quarts in a gallon, this volume is about 75 gallons which is not
reasonable for a car (but might be for a large truck or other large vehicle such as an RV).
24. No, since 30 km/h ≈ 19 mi/h < 25 mi/h.

20. (a) The answer is (4) centimeter , as it is the smallest unit among those listed.
(b) Since 1 ft = 30.5 cm, 6.00 ft = (6.00 ft) 30.5 cm
1 ft = 183 cm .
21. 40 000 mi = (40 000 mi) 1609 m
1 mi = 64 400 000 m.
So 64 400 000 m
1.75 m = 37 000 000 times .
22. (a) Since 1 gal = 3.785 L < 4 L, or ½ gal < 2 L, ½ gal holds (3) less soda.
(b) 0.5 gal = (0.5 gal) 3.785 L

23. (a) 300 ft = (300 ft) 1 m
3.28 ft = 91.5 m. 160 ft = (160 ft) 1 m

1.75 m = 37 000 000 times .
22. (a) Since 1 gal = 3.785 L < 4 L, or ½ gal < 2 L, ½ gal holds (3) less soda.
(b) 0.5 gal = (0.5 gal) 3.785 L
1 gal = 1.89 L. 2 L − 1.89 L = 0.11 L. So 2 L by 0.11 L more .
23. (a) 300 ft = (300 ft) 1 m
3.28 ft = 91.5 m. 160 ft = (160 ft) 1 m
3.28 ft = 48.8 m.
So the dimensions are 91.5 m by 48.8 m .
(b) 11 in. = (11.0 in.) 2.54 cm
1 in. = 27.9 cm. 11.25 in. = (11.25 in.) 2.54 cm
1 in. = 28.6 cm.
So the length is 27.9 cm to 28.6 cm .
24. From Exercise 1.23, the metric field is larger.
Acurrent = (91.4 m)(48.8 m) = 4.46 103 m2. Ametric = (100 m)(54 m) = 5.4 103 m2.

68. (a) Since d = (13 mi) tan 25and tan 25 < 1 (tan 45 = 1),
d is (1) less than 13 mi.
(b) d = (13 mi) tan 25 = 6.1 mi .
69. (a) It will be (3) less than the 190 mi/h . More time spent at lower speeds, so affect average speed to be below
average of all speeds.
(b) The time intervals for each lap is, respectively,
Lap 1: t1 = 2.5 mi
160 mi/h = 0.015625 h; Lap 2: t2 = 2.5 mi
180 mi/h = 0.013889 h;
Lap 3: t3 = 2.5 mi
200 mi/h = 0.012500 h; Lap 4: t4 = 2.5 mi
220 mi/h = 0.011364 h.
So the total time is ttotal = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4 = 0.053378 h.
Therefore the average speed for four laps is 4(2.5 mi)
0.053378 h = 187 mi/h .

The elevation for the 3.0 km segment is
(3.0 km) sin 7 = 0.366 km.
The horizontal distance for the 3.0 km segment is (3.0 km) cos 7 = 2.98 km.
So the tangent of the net angle of rise is tan

1.99 km + 2.98 km = 0.109.
Therefore
= tan−1 (0.109) = 6.2 .
72. d = x tan 30 = (50 m − x) tan 40 = (50 m) tan 40 − x tan 40.
x = (50 m) tan 40
tan 30 + tan 40 = 29.6 m. So d = (29.6 m) tan 30 = 17 m .

68. (a) Since d = (13 mi) tan 25and tan 25 < 1 (tan 45 = 1),
d is (1) less than 13 mi.
(b) d = (13 mi) tan 25 = 6.1 mi .
69. (a) It will be (3) less than the 190 mi/h . More time spent at lower speeds, so affect average speed to be below
average of all speeds.
(b) The time intervals for each lap is, respectively,
Lap 1: t1 = 2.5 mi
160 mi/h = 0.015625 h; Lap 2: t2 = 2.5 mi
180 mi/h = 0.013889 h;
Lap 3: t3 = 2.5 mi
200 mi/h = 0.012500 h; Lap 4: t4 = 2.5 mi
220 mi/h = 0.011364 h.
So the total time is ttotal = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4 = 0.053378 h.
Therefore the average speed for four laps is 4(2.5 mi)
0.053378 h = 187 mi/h .
70. 118 mi = (118 mi) 1609 m
1 mi = 105 m, 307 mi = (307 mi) 1609 m
1 mi = 105 m,
279 ft = (279 ft) 1 m
3.28 ft = 102 m.
So V = LWD (105 m)(105 m)(102 m) = about 1012 m3 .
71. (a) The answer is (2) between 5 and 7 . The sketch below illustrates why it is the answer.
(b) The elevation for the 2.0 km segment is
(2.0 km) sin 5 = 0.174 km.
The horizontal distance for the 2.0 km segment is
(2.0 km) cos 5 = 1.99 km.
The elevation for the 3.0 km segment is
(3.0 km) sin 7 = 0.366 km.
The horizontal distance for the 3.0 km segment is (3.0 km) cos 7 = 2.98 km.
So the tangent of the net angle of rise is tan
= 0.174 km + 0.366 km
1.99 km + 2.98 km = 0.109.
Therefore
= tan−1 (0.109) = 6.2 .
72. d = x tan 30 = (50 m − x) tan 40 = (50 m) tan 40 − x tan 40.
x = (50 m) tan 40
tan 30 + tan 40 = 29.6 m. So d = (29.6 m) tan 30 = 17 m .

17. (d). Free fall is motion under the influence of gravity alone, and the acceleration is g. The initial velocity does not
affect the acceleration.
18. (c). It accelerates at 9.80 m/s2, so it increases its speed by 9.80 m/s during each second.
19. (a). The acceleration is not zero; it is 9.80 m/s2 downward.
20. (c). It always accelerates at 9.80 m/s2 downward.
Conceptual Questions:
1. Yes, for a round-trip. No; distance is always greater than or equal to the magnitude of displacement.
2. No final position can be given. It may be anywhere from 0 to 750 m from the start.
3. The distance traveled is greater than or equal to 300 m. The object could travel a variety of ways as long as it ends
up at 300 m north. If the object travels straight north, then the minimum distance is 300 m.
4. No, this is generally not the case. The average velocity can be zero (e.g. a round trip), while the average speed is
never zero.
5. Yes, this is possible. The jogger can jog in the opposite direction during part of the jog (negative instantaneous
velocity) as long as the overall jog is in the forward direction (positive average velocity).
6. Yes, although the speed of the car is constant, its velocity is not, because of the change in direction. A change in
velocity means that there is acceleration, and the velocity (a vector quantity) can change by either changing
direction, magnitude or both.
7. Not necessarily. The change in velocity is the key. If a fast-moving object does not change its velocity, its
acceleration is zero. However, if a slow-moving object changes its velocity, it will have some non-zero acceleration.
8. Not necessarily. A negative acceleration can cause an increase in speed if the velocity is also negative (that is, if the
velocity is in the same direction as the acceleration).
9. In part (a), the object accelerates uniformly first, maintains constant velocity (zero acceleration) for a while, and
then accelerates uniformly at the same rate as in the first segment. In (b), the object accelerates uniformly.
10. The final velocity isov since an equal amount of time is spent on acceleration and deceleration and both of these
have the same magnitude.
17. (d). Free fall is motion under the influence of gravity alone, and the acceleration is g. The initial velocity does not
affect the acceleration.
18. (c). It accelerates at 9.80 m/s2, so it increases its speed by 9.80 m/s during each second.

11. If (assuming uniform accelerations) we apply the formula v2 = vo2 + 2a(x – x0), we see that both cars have the
same initial speed (v0 = 0) and the same final speed v, so the quantity a(x – x0) must be the same for both of them.
Since car B travels twice as far as car A, its acceleration must therefore be half as large as that of car A, which tells
us that=A B2a a . Another way to view this problem is the following. Both cars have the same average speed but
travel unequal distances. Car A will take less time to reach the line because it has less distance to travel. Since the
change in velocities are the same, car A will have a higher rate of change of velocity, thus A’s acceleration is greater
than B’s. Since car A travels half the distance as B at the same average speed as A, it will take half as long to finish
as B. Thus A will have twice the acceleration as B.
12. It is zero because the velocity is constant.
13. Not necessarily because even if the acceleration is negative, the object can still have positive velocity (meaning it is
slowing) and the result could be a positive value for x.
14. Consider the displacement( )ox x− as one quantity; there are four quantities involved in each of the kinematic
equations (Eqs. 2.8, 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12). All but one of the four must be known before one can solve for any
unknown.
15. Yes, if the displacement is negative meaning the object accelerates to the left.
16. When it reaches the highest point, its velocity is zero (velocity changes from up to down, so it is zero at that instant),
but its acceleration is29.80 m/s downward because the velocity is changing direction, signifying acceleration (due
to gravity).
17. No, since one value of the instantaneous velocity does not tell you if the velocity is changing. It could be zero just
for an instant and not zero either before or after that instant, thus it could be changing and the object could be
accelerating. You need two values of instantaneous velocity to determine if an object is accelerating.
18. The ball moves at constant velocity because there is no gravitational acceleration in deep space. If an object’s
acceleration is zero, then v is a constant, in magnitude and direction, but is not necessarily zero.
19. Since the first stone has been accelerating downward for a longer time, it will always have a higher speed and thus
as time goes by it will have fallen further and thus the gap between them (y) will increase.
20. First, the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is only1/6 of that on the Earth, org =g 6.M E Hence dropped
objects take longer to reach the surface than on the Earth, and tossed objects will go higher and stay in flight longer
than on Earth. Secondly, there is no air resistance on the Moon, which means that all objects, regardless of mass
and/or shape, will accelerate at the same rate, whereas this is only an approximation that works well for small
massive objects on the Earth.
11. If (assuming uniform accelerations) we apply the formula v2 = vo2 + 2a(x – x0), we see that both cars have the
same initial speed (v0 = 0) and the same final speed v, so the quantity a(x – x0) must be the same for both of them.
Since car B travels twice as far as car A, its acceleration must therefore be half as large as that of car A, which tells
us that=A B2a a . Another way to view this problem is the following. Both cars have the same average speed but
travel unequal distances. Car A will take less time to reach the line because it has less distance to travel. Since the
change in velocities are the same, car A will have a higher rate of change of velocity, thus A’s acceleration is greater
than B’s. Since car A travels half the distance as B at the same average speed as A, it will take half as long to finish
as B. Thus A will have twice the acceleration as B.
12. It is zero because the velocity is constant.
13. Not necessarily because even if the acceleration is negative, the object can still have positive velocity (meaning it is
slowing) and the result could be a positive value for x.
14. Consider the displacement( )ox x− as one quantity; there are four quantities involved in each of the kinematic
equations (Eqs. 2.8, 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12). All but one of the four must be known before one can solve for any

Exercises:
1. Displacement is the change in position.
Therefore the magnitude of the displacement for half a lap is 300 m .
For a full lap (the car returns to its starting position), the displacement is zero .
2. vav = d/t, where d = 80 km + 50 km = 130 km
t1 = d1/v1 = (80 km)/(100 km/h) = 0.800 h
t2 = d2/v2 = (50 km)/(75 km/h) = 0.667 h
t = t1 + t2 = 0.800 h + 0.667 h = 1.467 h
vav = d/t = (130 km)/(1.467 h) =89 km/h
3. t = d/vav, where
=
100 yd 3 ft 1 m
9.0 s 1 yd 3.281 ft
avv = 10.16 m/s
t = (100 m)/(10.16 m/s) =9.8 s
4. (a)s = d
t = (0.30 km)(1000 m/km)
(10 min)(60 s/min) = 0.50 m/s .
(b)s 1 = 1.20s = 1.20(0.50 m/s) = 0.60 m/s. So t = ds
1
= 300 m
0.60 m/s = 500 s = 8.3 min .
5. 1 cc = 1 mL. This is analogous to average speed.
t = ds = 500 mL
4.0 mL/min = 125 min .
6.s = d
t = 2(25 m)
[2(0.50 min) + 4.0 min](60 s/min) = 0.17 m/s .
7. The time going is tgoing = d/v1 = (300 km)/(75 km/h) = 4.00 h
The time returning is treturn = d/v2 = (300 km)/(85 km/h) = 3.53 h
The average speed is vav = 2d/ttotal = (600 km)/(4.00 h + 3.53 h + 0.50 h) =75 km/h
The average velocity iszero because the net displacement is zero.
8. (a) The answer is (2) greater than R but less than 2R . For any right triangle, the
hypotenuse is always greater than any one of the other two sides (R) and less than the sum
of the sum of the other two sides (R + R = 2R).
(b) d =2 2
(50m) (50m)+ = 71 m .50 m

Exercises:
1. Displacement is the change in position.
Therefore the magnitude of the displacement for half a lap is 300 m .
For a full lap (the car returns to its starting position), the displacement is zero .
2. vav = d/t, where d = 80 km + 50 km = 130 km
t1 = d1/v1 = (80 km)/(100 km/h) = 0.800 h
t2 = d2/v2 = (50 km)/(75 km/h) = 0.667 h
t = t1 + t2 = 0.800 h + 0.667 h = 1.467 h
vav = d/t = (130 km)/(1.467 h) =89 km/h
3. t = d/vav, where
=
100 yd 3 ft 1 m
9.0 s 1 yd 3.281 ft
avv = 10.16 m/s
t = (100 m)/(10.16 m/s) =9.8 s
4. (a)s = d
t = (0.30 km)(1000 m/km)
(10 min)(60 s/min) = 0.50 m/s .
(b)s 1 = 1.20s = 1.20(0.50 m/s) = 0.60 m/s. So t = ds
1
= 300 m
0.60 m/s = 500 s = 8.3 min .
5. 1 cc = 1 mL. This is analogous to average speed.
t = ds = 500 mL
4.0 mL/min = 125 min .
6.s = d
t = 2(25 m)
[2(0.50 min) + 4.0 min](60 s/min) = 0.17 m/s .
7. The time going is tgoing = d/v1 = (300 km)/(75 km/h) = 4.00 h
The time returning is treturn = d/v2 = (300 km)/(85 km/h) = 3.53 h
The average speed is vav = 2d/ttotal = (600 km)/(4.00 h + 3.53 h + 0.50 h) =75 km/h
The average velocity iszero because the net displacement is zero.
8. (a) The answer is (2) greater than R but less than 2R . For any right triangle, the
hypotenuse is always greater than any one of the other two sides (R) and less than the sum
of the sum of the other two sides (R + R = 2R).

In this case, the positive 2.78 m/s2 indicates deceleration because the velocity is negative.

Reduce to quadratic equation,
4.125 t2 – 69.44 t + 175 = 0.
Solving, t = 3.09 s and 13.7 s .
The 13.7 s answer is physically possible but not likely in reality. After 3.09 s, it is 175 m from where the reverse
thrust was applied, but the rocket keeps traveling forward while slowing down. Finally it stops. However, if the
reverse thrust is continuously applied (which is possible, but not likely), it will reverse its direction and go back to
175 m from the point where the initial reverse thrust was applied; a process that would take 13.7 s.
44. (a) Given: Car A: aA = 3.00 m/s2, vo = 2.50 m/s, t = 10 s.

2 (3.00 m/s)2(10 s)2 = 200 m.
So x = xB − xA = 200 m − 175 m = 25 m .
(b) From v = vo + at, vA = 2.50 m/s + (3.00 m/s)(10 s) = 32.5 m/s,
vB = 5.00 m/s + (3.00 m/s)(10 s) = 35.0 m/s.
So car B is faster.

46. (a) (3) The object will travel in the +x-direction and then reverse its direction . This is because the object has initial
velocity in the +x-direction, and it takes time for the object to decelerate, stop, and then reverse direction. We take

So x = xB − xA = 200 m − 175 m = 25 m .
(b) From v = vo + at, vA = 2.50 m/s + (3.00 m/s)(10 s) = 32.5 m/s,
vB = 5.00 m/s + (3.00 m/s)(10 s) = 35.0 m/s.

3600 s = 11.11 m/s.
During the reaction time, the car travels a distance of d = (11.11 m/s)(0.25 s) = 2.78 m.
So the car really has only 13 m – 2.78 m = 10.2 m to come to rest.
Let’s calculate the stopping distance of the car. We take xo = 0.
Given: vo = 11.1 m/s, v = 0, a = −8.0 m/s2. Find: x. (Take xo = 0.)

So it takes the car only 2.78 m + 7.70 m = 10.5 m (< 13 m) to stop.
Yes , the car will stop before hitting the child.
49. Repeat the calculation of Exercise 2.48. d = (11.1 m/s)(0.50 s) = 5.55 m.
5.55 m + 7.70 m = 13.3 m > 13 m. No , the car will not stop before hitting the child.

vo + v = 2(0.0400 m)
350 m/s + 210 m/s =

51. (a) For constant acceleration, the v vs. t plot is a straight line.
Point p has coordinates of (0, vo) and point q has coordinates of
(t, vo + at). The distance from point q to point o is therefore at. The
area under the curve is the area of the triangle

2(at)t plus the area of the rectangle vot.
So A = vo t + 1
2 at 2 = x − xo. (Here x − xo is displacement.)
(b) The total area consists of two triangles from 0 to 4.0 s and from 10.0 s to 18.0 s and a rectangle from
4.0 s to 10.0 s.
x − xo = A = 1

2 (18.0 s – 10.0 s)(8.0 m/s) = 96 m .
52. (a) (3) t1 > t2 . Since the object is accelerating, it will spend less time in traveling the second 3.00 m.

During the reaction time, the car travels a distance of d = (11.11 m/s)(0.25 s) = 2.78 m.
So the car really has only 13 m – 2.78 m = 10.2 m to come to rest.
Let’s calculate the stopping distance of the car. We take xo = 0.
Given: vo = 11.1 m/s, v = 0, a = −8.0 m/s2. Find: x. (Take xo = 0.)
v 2 = v2
o + 2a(x − xo), x = v2 – v2
o
2a = 0 – (11.1 m/s)2
2(–8.0 m/s2) = 7.70 m.
So it takes the car only 2.78 m + 7.70 m = 10.5 m (< 13 m) to stop.
Yes , the car will stop before hitting the child.
49. Repeat the calculation of Exercise 2.48. d = (11.1 m/s)(0.50 s) = 5.55 m.
5.55 m + 7.70 m = 13.3 m > 13 m. No , the car will not stop before hitting the child.
50. Given: vo = 350 m/s, v = 210 m/s, x = 4.00 cm = 0.0400 m (take xo = 0). Find: t.
x = xo +v t = vo + v
2 t, t = 2x
vo + v = 2(0.0400 m)
350 m/s + 210 m/s =
1.43 10−4 s .
51. (a) For constant acceleration, the v vs. t plot is a straight line.
Point p has coordinates of (0, vo) and point q has coordinates of
(t, vo + at). The distance from point q to point o is therefore at. The
area under the curve is the area of the triangle
1
2(at)t plus the area of the rectangle vot.
So A = vo t + 1
2 at 2 = x − xo. (Here x − xo is displacement.)
(b) The total area consists of two triangles from 0 to 4.0 s and from 10.0 s to 18.0 s and a rectangle from
4.0 s to 10.0 s.
x − xo = A = 1
2 (4.0 s – 0)(8.0 m/s) + (10.0 s – 4.0 s)(8.0 m/s) + 1
2 (18.0 s – 10.0 s)(8.0 m/s) = 96 m .
52. (a) (3) t1 > t2 . Since the object is accelerating, it will spend less time in traveling the second 3.00 m.
(b) For the first 3.00 m: Given: vo = 0, a = 2.00 m/s2, x = 3.00 m (take xo = 0). Find: t.
x = xo + vo t + 1
2 a t 2 = 0 + 0 + 1
2 a t 2 , t1 = 2x
a = 2(3.00 m)
2.00 m/s2 = 1.73 s .
At the end of the first 3.00 m, the velocity of the object is v = vo + at = 0 + (2.00 m/s2)(1.73 s) = 3.46 m/s.
This is then the initial velocity for the second 3.00 m.v q

For the second 3.00 m: Given: vo = 3.46 m/s, a = 2.00 m/s2, x = 3.00 m. Find: t.
x = xo + vo t + 1
2 a t 2 , 3.00 m = 0 + (3.46 m/s)t2 +1
2 (2.00 m/s2)t22 .
Reducing to quadratic equation, t2 + 3.46t − 3.00 = 0.
Solving, t2 = 0.718 s or −4.18 s.
53. (a) At the end of phase 1, the change in velocity is v1 − 0 = v1. At the end of phase 2, the change in velocity is v2 −
v1. Since the object is accelerating, it spends less time in phase 2 than in phase 1. Since the change in velocity is
equal to acceleration times the time, the change in velocity is greater in phase 1 than in phase 2. Or v1 > v2 − v1.
That is 2v1 > v2.
Therefore, v1 >1
2 v2. The answer is (3) v1 >1
2 v2 .
(b) For phase 1: vo = 0, a = 0.850 m/s2, x = 50.0 m (take xo = 0). Find: v.
v2 = v2
o + 2a(x − xo) = 02 + 2(0.850 m/s2)(50.0 m) = 85.0 m2/s2, v1 = 9.22 m/s .
For phase 2: vo = 9.22 m/s, a = 0.850 m/s2, x = 50.0 m (take xo = 0). Find: v.
v2 = v2
o + 2a(x − xo) = (9.22 m/s)2 + 2(0.850 m/s2)(50.0 m) = 170 m2/s2, v2 = 13.0 m/s .
So v1 = 9.22 m/s >1
2 v2 =1
2 (13.0 m/s) = 6.50 m/s.

x = xo + vo t + 1
2 a t 2 , 3.00 m = 0 + (3.46 m/s)t2 +1
2 (2.00 m/s2)t22 .
Reducing to quadratic equation, t2 + 3.46t − 3.00 = 0.
Solving, t2 = 0.718 s or −4.18 s.
53. (a) At the end of phase 1, the change in velocity is v1 − 0 = v1. At the end of phase 2, the change in velocity is v2 −
v1. Since the object is accelerating, it spends less time in phase 2 than in phase 1. Since the change in velocity is
equal to acceleration times the time, the change in velocity is greater in phase 1 than in phase 2. Or v1 > v2 − v1.

Therefore, v1 >1

(b) For phase 1: vo = 0, a = 0.850 m/s2, x = 50.0 m (take xo = 0). Find: v.
v2 = v2
o + 2a(x − xo) = 02 + 2(0.850 m/s2)(50.0 m) = 85.0 m2/s2, v1 = 9.22 m/s .
For phase 2: vo = 9.22 m/s, a = 0.850 m/s2, x = 50.0 m (take xo = 0). Find: v.
v2 = v2
o + 2a(x − xo) = (9.22 m/s)2 + 2(0.850 m/s2)(50.0 m) = 170 m2/s2, v2 = 13.0 m/s .
So v1 = 9.22 m/s >1

So the total distance is 100 m + 66.0 m = 166 m .
(c) Use v = vo + at.
On ice: t1 = v − vo
a = 30.4 m/s − 33.5 m/s
−1.00 m/s2 = 3.10 s,
On dry concrete: t2 = 0 − 30.4 m/s
−7.00 m/s2 = 4.34 s.
So the total time is 3.10 s + 4.34 s = 7.44 s .

(c) Use v = vo + at.
On ice: t1 = v − vo
a = 30.4 m/s − 33.5 m/s

v = vo – gt = 0 – (9.80 m/s2)(2.8 s) = − 27 m/s .
(b) y = yo + vo t – 1
2 gt 2 = 0 + 0 − 1
2 (9.80 m/s2)(2.8 s)2 = – 38 m .
60. (a) We take yo = 0. y = yo + vo t − 1
2 g t2 = − 1
2 g t2. So y is proportional to the time squared.
Therefore twice the time means (3) four times the height.
Given: vo = 0, t = 1.80 s. Find: yA and yB.
(b) yA = − 1
2 (9.80 m/s2)(1.80 s)2 = −15.9 m.

2 g . So ymax = v2
o
2 g .
