I have an unusual question. I am getting confused with my graphs. I completed a few graphs and one in particular, a displacement-time graph was presented as displacement (cm) and time (s). Velocity is usually always written as m/s. Per the graph, would I comply and fill in my Velocity as cm/s or m/s?

How would you solve a problem like this? A computer system, using a preset coordinate system, begins tracking the motion of a high-speed train. The computer system determines the position of the train in that coordinate system, starting at time t = 0, and models the motion via the equation z(t) = 111.9 m −((227.6 m s)/(t+3.0 s) (a) Find an expression for the acceleration of the train as a function of time. .

One afternoon, a student was going home after attending a calculus class. For this reason, the student orders an online motorcycle taxi through the application. At the time of ordering, the online motorcycle taxi is in the position s = 2t² + 2t+4, where t is in units of time and s is in meters. a. Determine the average speed of the online motorcycle taxi at intervals of 3 minutes to 5 minutes. b. Determine the time when the instantaneous speed of the online motorcycle taxi is exactly the same as the average speed. NEED IN RUSH THANKS

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
