Although the magnitudes of the displacements are equal, the displacements are in opposite directions. Therefore, one displacement is positive and one displacement is negative. 13. The displacement is negative because a change of position in the direction opposite of increasing positive position is negative displacement. 14. The dog s initial position and its final position are the same position. 15. Since the usual choice of coordinates uses positive as the direction away from Earth, the direction of free-fall acceleration is negative because the object accelerates toward Earth. 16. 1.7 10 2 h v avg = 1.8 km/h x = 0.30 km v avg = x t t = x 0.30 km = v avg 18 km/h = 1.7 10 2 h 17. 1.2 km, north v avg,1 = 0.75 km/h t 1 = 1.5 h v avg,2 = 0.90 km/h t 2 = 2.5 h x = x 1 + x 2 = v avg,1 t 1 + v avg,2 t 2 x = ( 0.75 km/h)(1.5 h) + (0.90 km/h) (2.5 h) = 1.2 km, north 18. 1.0 m/s v i = 1.8 m/s a = 3.00 m/s 2 x = 0.37 m v f 2 = v i 2 + 2a x v f = v i 2 + 2a x = (1.8 m/s) 2 + (2)( 3.0 m/s 2 )(0.37 m) v f = 1.0 m/s 19. at least 0.20 m a = g = 9.81 m/s 2 t = 0.20 s v i = 0.0 m/s x = v i t + 1 2 a( t)2 = v i t + 1 2 ( g)( t)2 x = (0 m/s)(0.20 s) + 1 2 ( 9.81 m/s2 )(0.20 s) 2 = 0.20 m Holt Physics 1 Chapter Tests
