A rabbit runs across a parking lot on which a set of coordinate axes has, strangely enough, been drawn. The coordinates (meters) of the rabbit’s position as functions of time t (seconds) are given by x=-0.31t2 + 7.2t + 28 (4-5) and y =0.22t2 - 9.1t + 30. (4-6) (a) At t = 15 s, what is the rabbit’s position vector in unitvector notation and in magnitude-angle notation?

A rabbit runs across a parking lot on which a set of the coordinate axis has been drawn. The coordinates of the rabbit’s position as a function of time t are given by: x = -0.3t2 + 5t + 28 and y = 0.22t2 - 8t + 30 with t in seconds and x and y in meters. What is the velocity at t= 10 sec?
A person riding in a subway train drops a ball from rest straightdownward, relative to the interior of the train. The train is moving horizontally with a constant speed of 6.7 m>s. A second person standing at rest on the subway platform observes the balldrop. From the point of view of the person on the platform, theball is released at the position x = 0 and y = 1.2 m. Make a plotof the position of the ball for the times t = 0, 0.1 s, 0.2 s, 0.3s, and 0.4 s.

One day, Sofia goes hiking at a nearby nature preserve. At first, she follows the straight, clearly marked trails. From the trailhead, she travels 2.00 miles2.00 miles down the first trail. Then, she turns 30.0 degrees to the left to follow a second trail for 1.10 miles. Next, she turns 160.0 degrees to her right to follow a third trail for 1.90 miles. At this point, Sofia is getting very tired and would like to get back as quickly as possible, but all of the available trails seem to lead her deeper into the woods. She would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods (ignoring the trails). What distance ?SC does she have to walk to take a shortcut directly back to her starting point? ?SC= Through what angle ?SC should she turn to the right in order to take the shortcut directly back to her starting point? ?SC=

You are exploring a planet and drop a small rock from the edge of a cliff. In coordinates where the +y direction is downward and neglecting air resistance, the vertical displacement of an object released from rest is given by y − y0 = 1/2gplanett2, where gplanet is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet. You measure t in seconds for several values of y − y0 in meters and plot your data with t2 on the vertical axis and y − y0 on the horizontal axis. Your data is fit closely by a straight line that has slope 0.300 s2/m. Based on your data, what is the value of gplanet?
