Chapter 4, Problem 1PLA
These pictures show a cart that is moving at constant velocity.
(a) (b) (c) (d)
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The cart that is moving at constant velocity
Answer to Problem 1PLA
Option (b)
Explanation of Solution
Constant velocity specifies that the car covers equal amount of displacement in a given time duration. The carts pictured in the question are all moving in a straight line to the left. From the picture, it is evident that the cart (b) gets displaced equally for every 1.00 s.
Conclusion:
From the picture, it is evident that the cart (b) gets displaced equally for every 1.00 s. Therefore, option (b) is correct.
The displacement of cart in (a) is increasing with time, hence the cart a is not moving with constant velocity.
The displacement of cart in (c) is decreasing with time, hence the cart a is not moving with constant velocity.
The displacement of cart in (d) is not uniform, hence the cart a is not moving with constant velocity.

- As shown in (Figure 1), block AA (mass 2.10 kgkg) rests on a tabletop. It is connected by a horizontal cord passing over a light, frictionless pulley to a hanging block BB (mass 1.28 kgkg). The coefficient of kinetic friction between block AA and the tabletop is 0.353. The blocks are released then from rest. Find the speed of each block after moving 3.20 cm. Find the tension in the cord.arrow_forwardA rope, attached to a weight, goes up through a pulley at the ceiling and back down to a worker. The worker holds the rope at the same height as the connection point between the rope and weight. The distance from the connection point to the ceiling is 30 ft. Suppose the worker stands directly next to the weight (.e., a total rope length of 60 ft) and begins to walk away at a constant rate of 2 ft/s. How fast is the weight rising when the worker has walked: 10 feet? Answer= 30 feet?
