Physics: Kinematics: Motion Along Straight Line: Learning Activity Sheets (Las)

The document is a learning activity sheet for a General Physics I class that provides 10 problems for students to solve related to kinematics and motion along a straight line. It begins by asking students to define distance and displacement, and to identify when kinematic equations cannot be used. Subsequent problems involve calculating average acceleration, displacement, and velocity for objects in motion like planes, cars, jets, stones, bicycles, and rockets. The final questions require identifying the direction of motion from position-time graphs.

PHYSICS: KINEMATICS: MOTION ALONG STRAIGHT


LINE

ACTIVITY: PROBLEM SOLVING


DIRECTIONS: Read and analyze carefully each problem. Provide adequate answers
for each question.

1. What is the difference between distance and displacement?


Displacement is a vector while distance is a scalar quantity.

2. In which one of the following situations can the equations of kinematics not be
used? (a) When the velocity changes from moment to moment, (b) when the
velocity remains constant, (c) when the acceleration changes from moment to
moment, (d) when the acceleration remains constant. Explain your answer.
-(c.) When the acceleration changes from moment to moment because
when we are deriving equations of kinematics, we assume the acceleration would
be constant but we cannot use the kinematic equations when the acceleration is
varying with time.

3. Suppose the plane starts from rest (0 m/s) when t= 0 s. The plane accelerates
down the runway and at t =29 s attains a velocity of + 260 km/h, where the plus
sign indicates that the velocity points to the right. Determine the average
acceleration of the plane.
a = Vf - Vi/t
= 260 km/h – 0 km/h29s
29s – 0s
= +9.0 km/h/s
4. A car is traveling along a straight road and is decelerating. Which one of the
following statements correctly describes the car’s acceleration? (a) It must be
Page 1 of 20

positive. (b) It must be negative. (c) It could be positive or negative. Explain your
answer.

(c) It could be positive or negative because it is not specified whether


the velocity vector of the car points in the positive or negative direction so
the car could point either way depending on the direction in which the car is
moving.

5. A jet is taking off from the deck of an aircraft carrier. Starting from rest, the jet is
catapulted with a constant acceleration of 31 m/s^2 along a straight line and
reaches a velocity of 62 m/s. Find the displacement of the jet.

6. The muzzle velocity of a gun is the velocity of the bullet when it leaves the barrel.
The muzzle velocity of one rifle with a short barrel is greater than the muzzle
velocity of another rifle that has a longer barrel. In which rifle is the acceleration of
the bullet larger? Explain your answer.

The change in velocity is higher in the rifle with shorter barrel, than the
other rifle so the acceleration in case of rifle with shorter barrel is higher/larger.

7. A stone is dropped from rest from the top of a tall building. After 3.00 s of free-fall,
what is the displacement y of the stone? Illustrate the problem.

8. A bicyclist maintains a constant velocity on the outgoing leg of a trip, zero velocity
while stopped, and another constant velocity on the way back. Figure 2.19 shows
the corresponding position–time graph. Using the time and position intervals
indicated in the drawing obtain the velocities for each segment of the trip.

The average velocities for the three segments are:

∆ x 800 m−400 m + 400 m


Segment 1 v́ = = = = + 2 m/s
∆t 400 s−200 s 200 s

∆x 1200 m−1200 m 0 m
Segment 2 v́ = ∆t = 1000 s−600 s
=
400 s = 0 m/s

∆ x 400 m−800 m −400 m


Segment 3 v́ = = = = -1 m/s
∆t 800 s−1400 s 400 s

9. A rocket is sitting on the launch pad. The engines ignite, and the rocket begins to
rise straight upward, picking up speed as it goes. At about 1000 m above the
ground the engines shut down, but the rocket continues straight upward, losing
speed as it goes. It reaches the top of its flight path and then falls back to earth.
Ignoring air resistance, decide which one of the following statements is true. (a) All
of the rocket’s motion, from the moment the engines ignite until just before the
rocket lands, is free-fall. (b) Only part of the rocket’s motion, from just after the
engines shut down until just before it lands, is free-fall. (c) Only the rocket’s
motion while the engines are firing is free-fall. (d) Only the rocket’s motion from
the top of its flight path until just before landing is free-fall. (e) Only part of the
rocket’s motion, from just after the engines shut down until it reaches the top of
its flight path, is free-fall.

-(b) Only part of the rocket’s motion, from just after the engines shut down
until just before it lands, is free-fall

10. The graph accompanying this problem shows a three-part motion. For each
of the three parts, A, B, and C, identify the direction of the motion. A positive
velocity denotes motion to the right. (a)A right, B left, C right (b)A right, B right, C
left (c) A right, B left, C left (d) A left, B right, C left (e) A left, B right, C right.

-(A.)A right, B left, C right
