    1. A subway train accelerates for 10 seconds, then travels at a constant velocity for 30 seconds before decelerating until it stops. It finds the total displacement and average velocity of the train over this trip. 2. A car is driving towards an underground garage entrance when a bucket of water is dropped from a scaffold above. It determines if the driver got wet based on the positions and velocities of the car and scaffold. 3. When a baseball player hits a baseball, it calculates the change in velocity of the ball and its average acceleration during the brief contact with the bat.

    Forces and Motion Problem Set 1.

    A subway train starts from rest at a station and accelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s2 [E] for 10 s. It runs at a constant velocity for 30 s, and then applies a negative acceleration of -2.4m/s2 [E] until it stops at the next station. Find the total displacement between the stations and the average velocity of the train. 2. A convertible with its top down drove towards the entrance of an underground garage with a velocity of 24 km/h [N]. A window cleaner on a scaffold directly above the entrance accidentally kicked a bucket of water off a moving scaffold. The scaffold at that moment was 9.0 m vertically higher than the top of the car and the car was 12 m from the entrance. The scaffold was moving up at 1.5 m/s. Did the driver get wet? 3. A batter strikes a baseball moving horizontally towards him at 15 m/s [S]. The ball leaves the bat horizontally at 24 m/s [40o E of N]. The ball is in contact with the bat for 0.01 s. Determine a. The change in velocity of the ball b. Its average acceleration while being hit by the bat. 4. A helicopter flying horizontally at a velocity of 25 m/s drops a mailbag from a height of 15 m to a letter carrier waiting on the ground below. a. How long will it take the bag to fall from the helicopter to the ground? b. How far in advance of the letter carrier must the bag be released so that it lands at her feet? 5. Blasto the Magnificent is fired from a cannon inclined at 40o to the horizontal. If Blasto leaves the cannon at a speed of 35 m/s, a. How long will it take him to reach the maximum height? b. Where should he instruct his team to put the net to catch him (what will be his range)? 6. A fighter jet going 350 km/h dives at an angle of 25o to the vertical and releases a bomb from a height of 350 m. a. How far will the bomb travel horizontally? b. What will be the velocity of the bomb just before it hits the ground? 7. A golfer strikes a golf ball and it flys away at an angle 17o above the horizontal. What is the initial velocity of the ball if it bounces on the putting green 250 m away? Assume the golfer and the putting green are at the same elevation.
