    PHY 115 Problem set 2

    Problem set 2
    Q1)
    A particle moves along the x axis. Its
    position varies with time according to
    the expression.
    x(t)= -4 t + 2 t2 m/s
    where x is in meters and t is in
    seconds. The position–time graph
    for this motion is shown in Figure.
    Note that the particle moves in the
    negative x direction for the first second
    of motion, is momentarily at rest at the
    moment t=1 s, and moves in the
    positive x direction at times t >1 s.
    a) Determine the displacement of the particle in the time intervals t = 0 to t = 1
    s and t = 1 s to t = 3 s.
    b) Calculate the average velocity during these two-time intervals.
    c) Estimate the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t =2.5 s.

    Q2)
    The velocity of a particle moving along the x axis varies in time according to the
    expression.
    v(t) = (40 – 5 t2) m/s
    a) Calculate the average acceleration in the time interval t=0 to t = 2.0 s.
    b) Determine the instantaneous acceleration at t = 2.0 s.
    c)
    Q3) Which of the graphs shows that one of runners started 10 yards further
    ahead of the other? Explain your answer.
    PHY 115 Problem set 2

    Q4)
    In which of the following graphs below are both runners moving at the
    same speed? Explain your answer.

    Q5) The distance-time graphs below represent the motion of a car. Match the descriptions
    with the graphs. Explain your answers.
    Descriptions:
    1. The car is stopped.
    2. The car is traveling at a constant speed.
    3. The speed of the car is decreasing.
    4. The car is coming back.
    PHY 115 Problem set 2

    Q6) The speed-time graphs below represent the motion of a car. Match the
    descriptions.
    with the graphs. Explain your answers.
    Descriptions:
    1. The car is stopped.
    2. The car is traveling at a constant speed.
    3. The car is accelerating.
    4. The car is slowing down.

    Q7) The graph below shows how the speed of a bus changes during part of a
    journey.
    PHY 115 Problem set 2

    Choose the correct words from the following list to describe the motion during
    each segment of the journey to fill in the blanks.
    • accelerating
    • decelerating
    • constant speed
    • at rest
    Segment 0-A The bus is ____________. Its speed changes from 0 to 10 m/s in
    5 seconds.

    Segment A-B The bus is moving at a _______________of 10 m/s for 5


    seconds.

    Segment B-C The bus is _____________. It is slowing down from 10 m/s to


    rest in 3 seconds.

    Segment C-D The bus is _________________. It has stopped.

    Segment D-E The bus is __________________. It is gradually increasing in


    speed.
