An object is thrown in the air with vertical velocity of 20 ft/s and horizontal velocity of 15 ft/s. The object’s height can be described by the equation y (t) = −16t2+20t while the object moves horizontally with constant velocity 15 ft/s. Write parametric equations for the object’s position, and then eliminate time to write height as a function of horizontal position. How did you arrive at your conclusion(s) for this problem? Use the graphical equation editor if necessary to express your answer.
You ride in a boat on a river flowing at 1.7m/s(in the negative y direction). Suppose you would like the boat to move directly across the river (in the positive x direction) with a speed of 5.5m/s.What is the corresponding speed of the boat's velocity relative to the water?Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.
You are walking around your neighborhood and you see a child on top of a roof of a building kick a soccer ball. The soccer ball is kicked at 50° from the edge of the building with an initial velocity of 10 m/s and lands 20 meters away from the wall of the building. Which equation will allow you to solve for the amount of time the ball is in the air? Hint: look at your givens in the x-direction. Group of answer choices A. vfx2=v0x2+2axΔx B. vfx=v0x+axt C. Δx =v0x t + ½ axt2
Answer the following question(s): A student sees her physical science professor approaching on the sidewalk that runs by her dorm. She gets a water balloon and waits. When the professor is 2.0s from being directly under the window about 11m from the sidewalk, she drops the balloon. Finish the story. Instructor Note: There are several ways to reach the correct answer. I generally solve for time to determine if balloon will hit the professor or not based on the given scenario. A formula to use is ?=12??2d=12gt2?d = 1 2 g t 2 where d = distance g = gravitational constant of 9.8 t = time
I looked at the motion diagram and thought it was representing an object accelerating to the right and getting faster. I thought A and B were right, but my first thought was that C looked like it could be moving to the right and slowing down, could you explain why this is wrong? I tend to get these types of questions wrong.
You measure the motion of a dynamics cart using a motion sensor. You then plot the cart’s position vs. time and velocity vs. time. The best way of finding the average acceleration of the cart is to find: a. the y-intercept of the position vs. time plot. b. the y-intercept of the velocity vs. time plot. c. the slope of the position vs. time plot d. the slope of the velocity vs. time plot. e. none of the above
Chris stands on top of a giant rock outcrop, 250 feet above the ground.Chris throws a grapefruit upwards, into the air, with initial velocity of 50 feet per second. The grapefruit has a trajectory such that it will fall all the way to the ground. Use calculus to write the equation of the displacement (position) of the grapefruit as a function of time using initial position s = 250 and ground level as position s = 0. Use acceleration a = -32 feet per second per second
Destiny is eating lunch at her favorite cafe when her friend Jada calls and says she wants to meet her. Jada is calling from a city 65 miles65 miles away and wants to meet Destiny somewhere between the two locations. Jada says she will start driving right away, but Destiny needs 10 min to finish her lunch before she can begin driving. Jada plans to drive at 65 mph, whereas Destiny usually averages about 80 mph. Ignore acceleration and assume the highway is a straight line. How many minutes tmeet will Jada be driving before she meets Destiny? tmeet= ? How many miles d will Destiny have traveled when they meet? d= ?
Hi I am in physics 1 and I need help with this problem. It saids a boy runs in an open field. He runs 233m due north in 77 seconds, turns 90 degrees to his left and runs 178m in 93 seconds. Sketch a map of his motion and find the following quantities of his motion during this period from starting time to final time a) Map of his motion b) The total distance he runs (233m + 178m= 411m) c) The displacement from starting position to final position. What I have thus far is I got c=sqrt (233)^2+(178)^2=293m. Would I subtract this number from the total distance? Please includes detailed steps of how to solve this
A projectile is fired vertically upward from a height of 225 feet above the ground, with an initial velocity of 800 ft/sec. Recall that projectiles are modeled by the function h(t)=−16t2+v0t+y0. Write a quadratic equation to model the projectile's height h(t) in feet above the ground after t seconds.
Hello. I am working on a problem with motion. The questions asks me to calculate the maximum height (h1), total time (t2), and speed of a ball right before it hits the ground. The question states that A person is throwing a ball upward into the air with an initial speed Vo = 10m/s. Assume that the instant when the ball is released, the person's hand is at a height ho = 1.5m. The speed of the ball at its peak height is zero, and the question needs to be solved in ascending part and descending part. I don't understand how to solve for the maximum height. What is the correct formula to use and why? For other questions like this, I will be able to solve them if I know the formulas for the ascending of the ball and the descent of the ball as well as the explanation. Thank you. For the sake of the question, the ball is being thrown straight up.
