current flows from north to south at speed v and Marie can paddle at a speed 2v in still water In what general direction should she head to cross the river to the east bank in the least amount of time C A B C D The three directions take the same amount of time North of East Due East South of East 2 A kicker kicks a football from ground level at the 10 yard line to the 50 yard line Where along the trajectory is the football s speed a minimum B A B C D E F At the 40 yard line At the 30 yard line At the 20 yard line At the 10 yard line just after the football leaves the kicker s foot At the 50 yard line just before the football lands The speed is the same throughout 3 A car s brakes produce a constant magnitude acceleration For some initial speed the stopping distance of the car is d If the initial speed doubles what will be the new stopping distance B A B C D E 8d 4d 2d d d 2 Copyright c 2019 University of Georgia 2 Physics 1111 Exam 1 2 30 D Solutions 8 February 2019 Last Name II Order

1111 Exam 1 2 30 D Solutions 8 February 2019 Last Name III Table Slide 40 points Abby shoves her physics textbook horizontally from the left end of a long table with an initial speed of v0 6 50 m s The book then slides the length of the table and shoots off the right end with speed v1 4 70 m s landing on the floor a distance d to the right of the table The table is 3 40 m long and h 0 650 m high v0 v1 a What was the acceleration magnitude and direction of the book as it slid the length of the table 8 points The first two parts of this problem are 1 D motion There are two events to consider for this part of the motion the moment the book is given its initial velocity and the moment it leaves the table Let s call them Event 0 and Event 1 respectively As usual a table can be useful here Let s take the origin to be the starting point and the direction of motion right as positive t x vx ax Event 0 Event 1 t0 0 s t1 x0 0 m x1 3 40 m v0x 6 50 m s v1x 4 70 m s ax v12 v02 2a a The most direct way to find the acceleration would be to use the kinematic equation 2 2 2ax x Using the appropriate vfx vix quantities here gives v12 v02 4 70 m s 2 6 50 m s 2 2 96471 m s2 2 96 m s2 2 2 3 40 m The negative sign means that the acceleration is to the left If you chose to find time first then v1 v0 at1 would be a convenient way to find acceleration b How long did it take for the book to reach the far end of the table 7 points We have lots of options for this part particularly if we have found acceleration in Part a However we can find time without acceleration 1 2 2 3 40 m s v0 v1 t1 t1 0 607143 s 0 607 s 2 v0 v1 6 50 m s 4 70 m s If we already have a another option would be to use v1 v0 at1 Yet another option would be to use x vi t 12 at2 This requires solving a quadratic which will give us …
