- You are riding a luxury bus. In front of you is a cup of tea resting on the seat-back tray. Which of the following events may lead to spilled tea in your lap? The bus a. remains at rest, b. moves at constant velocity, c. speeds up or d. slows down. Dont worry about other circumstances such as a person knocking your cup over. (More than one choice may be correct.) Explain your answers.arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider an astronaut in deep space cut free from her space ship and needing to get back to it. The astronaut has a few packages that she can throw away to move herself toward the ship. Construct a problem in which you calculate the time it takes her to get back by throwing all the packages at one time compared to throwing them one at a time. Among the things to be considered are the masses involved, the force she can exert on the packages through some distance, and the distance to the ship.arrow_forwardIf you lower the window on a car while moving, an empty plastic bag can sometimes fly out the window.

- Integrated Concepts A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.300 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.900 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor. (b) Calculate his acceleration while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.300 m. (c) Calculate the force he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 110 kg.arrow_forwardIn Chapter 5 we will define the center of mass of an object The center of mass moves with constant acceleration when constant forces act on the object A gymnast jumps straight up, with her center of mass moving at 2.80 m/s as she leaves the ground.

(a) If the player was moving upward with a speed of 4.0 m/s just before impact, what will be the speed of the ball immediately after the collision if the ball rebounds vertically upwards and the collision is elastic? (b) If the ball is in contact with the players head for 20 ms, what is the average acceleration of the ball?
