A particle moves along the x axis according to the equation x = 2.00 + 3.00t 1.00t2, where x is in meters and t is in seconds. At t = 3.00 s, find (a) the position of the particle, (b) its velocity, and (c) its acceleration.
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.31 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.93 km with an average velocity of 2.06 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.688 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
If a driver is initially going 21m/s to the left and then slams on the brakes to accelerate at a magnitude of 14.7m/s/s until she comes to a stop. How far did she travel/what was the distance she traveled the moment she started applying the brakes?
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.17 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.57 km with an average velocity of 2.53 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.425 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
A suspicious-looking man runs as fast as he can along a moving sidewalk from one end to the other, taking 2.50 s.Then security agents appear, and the man runs as fast as he can back along the sidewalk to his starting point, taking 10.0 s.What is the ratio of the man’s running speed to the sidewalk’s speed?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 11 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
