2.1 Relative Motion, Distance, and Displacement

1.
Can one-dimensional motion have zero distance but a nonzero displacement? What about zero displacement but a nonzero distance?
  1. One-dimensional motion can have zero distance with a nonzero displacement. Displacement has both magnitude and direction, and it can also have zero displacement with nonzero distance because distance has only magnitude.
  2. One-dimensional motion can have zero distance with a nonzero displacement. Displacement has both magnitude and direction, but it cannot have zero displacement with nonzero distance because distance has only magnitude.
  3. One-dimensional motion cannot have zero distance with a nonzero displacement. Displacement has both magnitude and direction, but it can have zero displacement with nonzero distance because distance has only magnitude and any motion will be the distance it moves.
  4. One-dimensional motion cannot have zero distance with a nonzero displacement. Displacement has both magnitude and direction, and it cannot have zero displacement with nonzero distance because distance has only magnitude.

A graph with no title plots t on the x-axis, and v on the y-axis. A line starts with zero slope, beginning around three-fourths of the way up on the y-axis, then decreases towards to x-axis sharply, and then decreases towards the x-axis less sharply, ending at three-fourths of the length of the x-axis horizontally.
Describe the acceleration of the ship based on the graph.
  1. The ship is moving in the forward direction at a steady rate. Then it accelerates in the forward direction and then decelerates.
  2. The ship is moving in the forward direction at a steady rate. Then it turns around and starts decelerating, while traveling in the reverse direction. It then accelerates, but slowly.
  3. The ship is moving in the forward direction at a steady rate. Then it decelerates in the forward direction, and then continues to slow down in the forward direction, but with more deceleration.
  4. The ship is moving in the forward direction at a steady rate. Then it decelerates in the forward direction, and then continues to slow down in the forward direction, but with less deceleration.

9.
Boat A and Boat B are traveling at a constant speed in opposite directions when they pass each other.

2.4 Velocity vs. Time Graphs

The National Mall in Washington, DC, is a national park containing most of the highly treasured memorials and museums of the United States. However, the National Mall also hosts many events and concerts. The map in Figure 2.32 shows the area for a benefit concert during which the president will speak. The concert stage is near the Lincoln Memorial. The seats and standing room for the crowd will stretch from the stage east to near the Washington Monument, as shown on the map. You are planning the logistics for the concert. Use the map scale to measure any distances needed to make the calculations below.

A map drawing of the National Mall area of Washington, D.C., is shown. A red line is drawn on the map to show the presidential motorcade route from the White House at the top right of the map to a concert stage near the Lincoln Memorial at the bottom left of the map. A dot with the number one is plotted to the right of, and slightly below, the concert stage. A straight horizontal line connects this dot to a point to the right. Two separate straight lines that slope downward connect the second point to th
Figure 2.29

The park has three new long-distance speakers. They would like to use these speakers to broadcast the concert audio to other parts of the National Mall. The speakers can project sound up to 0.35 miles away but they must be connected to one of the power supplies within the concert area. What is the minimum amount of wire needed for each speaker, in miles, in order to project the audio to the following areas? Assume that wire cannot be placed over buildings or any memorials.

Part A. The center of the Jefferson Memorial using power supply 1 (This will involve an elevated wire that can travel over water.)

 

Part B. The center of the Ellipse using power supply 3 (This wire cannot travel over water.)

Part C. The president’s motorcade will be traveling to the concert from the White House. To avoid concert traffic, the motorcade travels from the White House west down E Street and then turns south on 23rd Street to reach the Lincoln memorial. What minimum speed, in miles per hour to the nearest tenth, would the motorcade have to travel to make the trip in 5 minutes?

Part D. The president could also simply fly from the White House to the Lincoln Memorial using the presidential helicopter, Marine 1. How long would it take Marine 1, traveling slowly at 30 mph, to travel from directly above the White House landing zone (LZ) to directly above the Lincoln Memorial LZ? Disregard liftoff and landing times and report the travel time in minutes to the nearest minute.
