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.
The ﬁgure shows three graphs, A, B, and C, which collectively describe the motion of an object in one dimension. The horizontal axis of each graph is time (symbol t). The vertical axes of the graphs are different. For one graph the vertical axis is position (symbol x), for another it is velocity (symbol v), and for another it is acceleration (symbol a). Where the axes cross is the point of zero for both time and the quantity corresponding to the vertical axis. Part A: For which sequence of graphs is the vertical coordinate position, velocity, and acceleration, respectively? (e.g., If you think graph Y is position versus time, graph X is velocity versus time, and graph Z is acceleration versus time, then your answer is Y, X, Z.). Multiple choice: 1)C, A, B 2)A, C, B 3)C, B, A 4)B, C, A 5)B, A, C 6)A, B, C. Part (b) Which one of the following situations can be most accurately represented by the graphs, consistent with your answer to part (a)? (1) A car driving in the negative x…
The motion of a particle moving in space from t=0 to t=4 seconds is defined by the following velocities: Vx=2t2, Vy=4-t2, Vz=8t. What is the total distance traveled by the particle after 4 seconds in meters? answer: 81 meters Explain every process.
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
