Chapter 4

4.1

(a) Taking the derivative with respect to time of the position function, we have $v→(t)=9.0t2i^andv→(3.0s)=81.0i^m/s.v→(t)=9.0t2i^andv→(3.0s)=81.0i^m/s.$ (b) Since the velocity function is nonlinear, we suspect the average velocity is not equal to the instantaneous velocity. We check this and find
$v→avg=r→(t2)−r→(t1)t2−t1=r→(4.0s)−r→(2.0s)4.0s−2.0s=(188i^−20i^)m2.0s=84i^m/s,v→avg=r→(t2)−r→(t1)t2−t1=r→(4.0s)−r→(2.0s)4.0s−2.0s=(188i^−20i^)m2.0s=84i^m/s,$
which is different from $v→(3.0s)=81.0i^m/s.v→(3.0s)=81.0i^m/s.$

4.2

The acceleration vector is constant and doesn’t change with time. If a, b, and c are not zero, then the velocity function must be linear in time. We have $v→(t)=∫a→dt=∫(ai^+bj^+ck^)dt=(ai^+bj^+ck^)tm/s,v→(t)=∫a→dt=∫(ai^+bj^+ck^)dt=(ai^+bj^+ck^)tm/s,$ since taking the derivative of the velocity function produces $a→(t).a→(t).$ If any of the components of the acceleration are zero, then that component of the velocity would be a constant.

4.3

(a) Choose the top of the cliff where the rock is thrown from the origin of the coordinate system. Although it is arbitrary, we typically choose time t = 0 to correspond to the origin. (b) The equation that describes the horizontal motion is $x=x0+vxt.x=x0+vxt.$ With $x0=0,x0=0,$ this equation becomes $x=vxt.x=vxt.$ (c) Equation 4.16 through Equation 4.18 and Equation 4.19 describe the vertical motion, but since $y0=0andv0y=0,y0=0andv0y=0,$ these equations simplify greatly to become $y=12(v0y+vy)t=12vyt,y=12(v0y+vy)t=12vyt,$$vy=−gt,vy=−gt,$$y=−12gt2,y=−12gt2,$ and $vy2=−2gy.vy2=−2gy.$ (d) We use the kinematic equations to find the x and y components of the velocity at the point of impact. Using $vy2=−2gyvy2=−2gy$ and noting the point of impact is −100.0 m, we find the y component of the velocity at impact is $vy=44.3m/s.vy=44.3m/s.$ We are given the x component, $vx=15.0m/s,vx=15.0m/s,$ so we can calculate the total velocity at impact: v = 46.8 m/s and $θ=71.3°θ=71.3°$ below the horizontal.

4.6

Labeling subscripts for the vector equation, we have B = boat, R = river, and E = Earth. The vector equation becomes $v→BE=v→BR+v→RE.v→BE=v→BR+v→RE.$ We have right triangle geometry shown in Figure 04_05_BoatRiv_img. Solving for $v→BEv→BE$, we have
$vBE=vBR2+vRE2=4.52+3.02vBE=vBR2+vRE2=4.52+3.02$
$vBE=5.4m/s, θ=tan−1(3.04.5)=33.7°.vBE=5.4m/s, θ=tan−1(3.04.5)=33.7°.$
