LONG QUIZ 1
VECTORS & MOTION

Directions: Answer the following questions then show your solutions. 5 POINTS EACH

A. VECTORS

1. Hearing rattles from a snake, you make two rapid displacements of magnitude 1.8 m and 2.4 m. In
sketches (roughly to scale), show how your two displacements might add up to give a resultant of
magnitude (a) 4.2 m; (b) 0.6 m; (c) 3.0 m.

2. A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then210 m in a direction
east of south, and then 280 m at east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds
herself back where she started. Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the
fourth displacement.

3. A disoriented physics professor, Dr. Cute Jas drives 3.25 km north, then 2.90 km west, and then 1.50
km south. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement, using the method of
components. In a vector-addition diagram (roughly to scale), show that the resultant displacement
found from your diagram is in qualitative agreement with the result you obtained using the method of
components.

B. MOTION

4. A car travels in the +x-direction on a straight and level road. For the first 4.00 s of its motion, the
average velocity of the car is vav-x = 6.25 m/s. How far does the car travel in 4.00 s?

5. Sir Jas Cute is flying due east using his Anemo Power. Its distance from a tall building is given by
3
��(��) = 28.0 �� + (12.4����) �� + (0.0450 ���� ) ��3. What is the instantaneous
velocity and instantaneous acceleration of Sir Jas when t = 9.87s?

6. The fastest measured pitched baseball left the pitcher’s hand at a speed of 45 m/s. If the pitcher was in
contact with the ball over a distance of 1.50 m and produced constant acceleration, (a) what
acceleration did he give the ball, and (b) how much time did it take him to pitch it?

7. The human body of Tighnari the Forest Ranger can survive an acceleration trauma incident (sudden
stop) if the magnitude of the acceleration is less than 250 m/s 2. If you are in an automobile accident
with an initial speed of 105 km/h (65mi/h) and you are stopped by an airbag that inflates from the
dashboard, over what distance must the airbag stop you for you to survive the crash?

8. A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350 s.
Ignore air resistance. Find (a) the height of the tabletop above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance
from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical
components of the book’s velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the
book reaches the floor.

9. Two popular Sumeru politicians, Alhaitam and Cyno, jump from the top of a vertical cliff. Cyno just
drops and reaches the ground in 3.50 s, while Alhaitam jumps horizontally with an initial speed of
9.50 m/s. How far from the base of the cliff will Alhaitam hit the ground?
