Aman is running at speed c (much less than the speed of light) to catch a bus already at a stop. at t = 0, when he is a distance b from the door of the bus, the bus starts moving with the positive acceleration a. use a coordinate system with x = 0 at the door of the stopped bus.

(a) draw a position vs. time graph for both the man and bus on the same graph. make sure to label what object each curve corresponds to and the initial position of each object in the graph.
(b) what is xman (t), the position of the man as a function of time.
(c) what is xbus (t), the position of the bus as a function of time.
(d) what condition is necessary for the man to catch the bus? assume he catches it at the time tcatch. hint: when are the bus and person at the same position at the same time? (e) find the minimum speed, cmin that the man needs to catch the bus. (f) assume that the man misses getting aboard when he first meets up with the bus. does he get a second chance if he continues to run at the constant speed c > cmin?

Copper has free electrons per cubic meter. a 71.0-cm length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 a of current. (a) how much time does it take for an electron to travel the length of the wire? (b) repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm) of the same length that carries the same current. (c) generally speaking, how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?

16. a brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 n on him. the mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20m/s2 size 12{1 "." "20"" m/s" rsup { size 8{2} } } {} backward. (a) what is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass? (b) what force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg? (c) draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. for this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
