Can you give several examples of an object's motion in which a great distance is traveled but the displacement is zero?
I am having trouble with a 3d motion problem. The problem is as follosw, "At t = 0, a particle moving in the xy plane with constant acceleration has a velocity of i = (3.00 i - 2.00 j) m/s and is at the origin. At t = 2.00 s, the particle's velocity is = (7.00 i + 8.20 j) m/s. (Use the following as necessary: t. Round your coefficients to two decimal places.)" The problem asks me to find acceleration of the particle at any time t and to find its coordinates at any time t. Thanks for the help
You take your dog on a walk to a nearby park. On the way, yourdog takes many short side trips to chase squirrels, examine fire hydrants, and so on. When you arrive at the park, do you and yourdog have the same displacement from home? Have you and yourdog traveled the same distance? Explain
If the vertical axis is position, does either child ever change direction? If yes, at what time does this occur? Explain.
66. Useful background for this problem can be found in Multiple-ConceptExample 2. On a spacecraft two engines fi re for a time of 565 s. Onegives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax 5 5.10 m/s2, whilethe other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay 5 7.30 m/s2.At the end of the fi ring period, the craft has velocity components ofvx 5 3775 m/s and vy 5 4816 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction ofthe initial velocity. Express the direction as an angle with respect to the1x axis.

a particle initially at position r=(2j+3k)m moves to r=(2i+3j-2k)m in 2s. Find the magnitude of the particles average velocity. If the particles acceleration is a=(2i-k) m/s^2 , find the angle between the particles acceleration and displacement
Can an object have a varying speed if its velocity is constant? Can it have varying velocity if its speed is constant? If yes, give examples in each case.
Can an object have a negative acceleration and be speeding up? If so, describe a possible physical situation and a corresponding coordinate system. If not, explain why not.
A projectile is launched from the point (x = 0, y = 0), with velocity (12.0i19.0j)m/s2, at t = 0. (a) Make a table listing the projectiles distance r from the origin at the end of each second thereafter, for 0 t 10 s. Tabulating the x and y coordinates and the components of velocity vx and vy will also be useful. (b) Notice that the projectiles distance from its starting point increases with time, goes through a maximum, and starts to decrease. Prove that the distance is a maximum when the position vector is perpendicular to the velocity. Suggestion: Argue that if v is not perpendicular to r, then r must lie increasing or decreasing. (c) Determine the magnitude of the maximum displacement. (d) Explain your method for solving part (c).
Can an object reverse its direction of travel while maintaining a constant acceleration? If so, give an example .If not,provide an explanation.
