AP Physics 1 › Motion in One Dimension
Consider a particle initially located at and moving with initial velocity
. Assuming a constant acceleration of
, calculate the position at a time of
.
A hungry wasp spots an fly wandering about. Assuming the wasp attacks the fly from behind (they are both traveling in the same direction) with speed v, and the fly is stationary, what is the speed of the wasp and fly after the collision? Assume the fly and wasp are one object after the collision. Your answer should be in terms of M, m, v where M is the mass of the wasp, m is the mass of the fly and v is the original speed of the wasp.
A person travelling at a rate of , with initial position at
will have travelled to
in how much time?
Suppose that a ball is thrown straight upward and falls back to the ground in a time . If this same ball is thrown straight upward on a distant planet whose gravity is only one-third that of Earth's, then
will change by what factor?
My roommate locked himself out of the apartment and forgot his keys. He asks me to walk over to the balcony and drop my key off the edge so he can get in. The keys take to reach the ground from the time it is released from my hand. From what height were the keys released, neglect the effects due to air resistance?
According to the graph shown above, during which interval is Boomer at rest?
A wreak-less card driver was driving in the eastward direction at when he noticed that the car in front of him was at a complete halt. He subsequently slammed the brakes causing an acceleration of
. Will he be saved by his brakes or will he hit the car that was
in front of him when he first applied the brakes?
According to the table above, during which interval does Boomer reach his highest speed?
If a 15kg ball takes five seconds to strike the ground when released from rest, at what height was the ball dropped?
According to the table above, when does Boomer have the largest positive velocity?
