A father and his daughter go to the bus stop that is located 75 m from their front
door. The father walks in a straight line while his daughter runs along a varied
path. Despite the different paths, they both end up at the bus stop at the same
time. The father's average speed is 2.2 m/s, and his daughter's average speed is
3.5 m/s. (a) How long does it take the father and daughter to reach the bus stop?
(b) What was the daughter's total distance traveled? (c) If the daughter
maintained her same average speed and traveled in a straight line like her father,
how far beyond the bus stop would she have traveled? *

The kinematics for the uniform motion can be found to be correct is:

       D.     (a) 34 s    (b) 119 m   (c) 44 m

Parameters given

  • The distance x = 75 m
  • Average velocity of father and daughter v₁ = 2.2 m/s and v₂ = 3.5 m/s

To find

    a) The travel time

    b) The distance traveled by the daughter

    c) How much does the daughter exceed the stop if she is going in a straight line

Kinematics studies the movement of bodies, finding relationships between position, velocity and acceleration.

In the special case that the acceleration is zero, the motion is called uniform motion and is described by the relation

             [tex]v_{avg}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}[/tex]

Where v_avg is the mean speed, Δx and Δt are the variation of distance and time in the interval

a) Since the father travels in a straight line to the bus, his distance is

          x=75m

           Δt = [tex]\frac{\Delta x}{v_1}[/tex]

           Δt = [tex]\frac{75}{2.2}[/tex]

           Δt = 34.09 s

This time is the same for both since they indicate that they arrive together

b) The distance traveled by the daughter

          Δx₂ = v₂ Δt

          Δx₂ = 3.5  34.09

          Δx₂ = 119.32 m

c) If the daughter's trip had been in a free straight, she would open after the stop

           Δx = Δx₂ - 75

           Δx = 119.32 -75

           Δx = 44.2 m

In conclusion using the kinematic relations for the uniform motion we can find that the answers are:

      a) The travel time is 34.09 s

      b) The distance traveled by the daughter is 119.32 m

      c) The daughter passed the stop by a distance of 44.2 m

Reviewing the answers we find that the correct one is:

    d)    (a) 34 s    (b) 119 m   (c) 44 m
