We know what the acceleration from the slope of the plot velocity vs time graph. 1) But what's the meaning of the intercept of the line with the v-axis? 2) Should we expect this value to be close to the origin?
Can someone give me feed back on the answers to this question. Is the scaling and representation accurate? Also, can some explain to me how the position-time graph can have a position starting at 2m.
Can you have a positive or negative velocity but a position with the opposite value (negative or positive)? Explain why or why not. (Easy to understand) Can you have zero velocity but a positive or negative position? Give an easy example. As you look at the graph for position, what does the slope of the line for distance vs. time tell us? (hint: Δd/Δt) As you look at the graph for velocity, what does the slope of the line for velocity vs. time tell us? (hint: Δv/Δt)
Suppose an object moves along a straight line with position f(t)at time t. Write an expression for the instantaneousvelocity of the object at time t=a . How can you interpretthis velocity in terms of the graph of f ?
A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of abuilding. A second ball is dropped from the roof 1.00 s later. Ignoreair resistance. (a) If the height of the building is 20.0 m, what must theinitial speed of the first ball be if both are to hit the ground at the sametime? On the same graph, sketch the positions of both balls as a functionof time, measured from when the first ball is thrown. Consider thesame situation, but now let the initial speed v0 of the first ball be givenand treat the height h of the building as an unknown. (b) What mustthe height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at thesame time if (i) v0 is 6.0 m/s and (ii) v0 is 9.5 m/s ? (c) If v0 is greaterthan some value vmax, no value of h exists that allows both balls to hitthe ground at the same time. Solve for vmax. The value vmax has a simplephysical interpretation. What is it? (d) If v0 is less than some value vmin,no value of h exists that allows both balls to hit the ground at the…
What does the area enclosed by the velocity time graph with the time axis give?
An object is moving in the air (defying gravity) so that its height after t seconds is given by ℎ(t)=18sin(t)cos(t)+8t meters. (If you graph this function, you can see it's moving up and down, but going higher and higher as time goes on.) a) At what time, t, does the object first change direction from going up to going down? b) What is the acceleration (m/s^2) of the object at that same time?
This is a graph of velocity vs time, what can we say about the speed of the object?
Now let’s apply our definition of average velocity to a swimming competition. During one heat of a swim meet, a swimmer performs the crawl stroke in a pool 50.0 mm long, as shown in (Figure 1). She swims a length at racing speed, taking 24.0 ss to cover the length of the pool. She then takes twice that time to swim casually back to her starting point. Find (a) her average velocity for each length and (b) her average velocity for the entire swim. c) If the swimmer could cross a 15 kmkm channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 mm in the pool, how long would it take?
A pedestrian is running at his maximum speed of 6.0 m/s to catch a bus stopped at a traffic light. When he is 15 m from the bus, the light changes and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.00 m/s2. Does he make it to the bus? If so, how far does he have to run in order to catch it? If not, how close does he get? Use sketches on velocity vs time and acceleration vs time graphs to make your case.
A police car is chasing a thief's car, initally they are 100 m apart and moving with velocity of '2v' m/s and 'v' m/s respectively. Based on this answer the following questions. (a) Calculate the time when the police car catches the theif's car. (b) Calculate the distance covered by the theif's car just before police catches it?
