A hard rubber ball, not affected by air resistance in its motion. is tossed upward from shoulder height, falls to the sidewalk, rebounds to a smaller maximum height, and is caught on its way down again. This motion is represented in Figure OQ2.17, where the successive positions of the ball through are not equally spaced in lime. At point the center of the ball is at its lowest point in the motion. The motion of the ball is along a straight, vertical line, but the diagram shows successive positions offset to the right to avoid overlapping. Choose the positive y direction to be upward. (a) Rank the situations through according to the speed of the ball |Yl at each point, with the largest speed first, (b) Rank the same situations according to the acceleration a% of the ball at each point. (In both rankings, remember that zero is greater than a negative value. If two values are equal, show that they are equal in your ranking.)
Parts (a), (b), and (c) of Figure 2.10 represent three graphs of the velocities of different objects moving in straight-line paths as functions of time. The possible accelerations of each object as functions of time are shown in parts (d), (c), and (f). Match each velocity vs. time graph with the acceleration vs. time graph that best describes the motion. Figure 2.10 (Quick Quiz 2.3) Match each velocity vs. time graph to its corresponding acceleration vs. time graph.

An ice sled powered by a rocket engine sum from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at + 40 ft/s2. After some time t1, the rocket engine is shut down and the sled moves with constant velocity v for a time t2. If the total distance traveled by the sled is 17 500 ft and the total time is 90 s. find (a) the times t1 and t2 and (b) the velocity v. At the 17 500-ft mark, the sled begins to accelerate at 20 ft/s2. (c) What is the final position of the sled when it comes to rest? (d) How long does it take to come to rest?
Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. Given this information, is acceleration a vector or a scalar quantity? Explain.
A spacecraft lands on a newly discovered planet orbiting the star 51 Pegasi. To measure the acceleration from gravity on the planet, an astronaut drops a rock from a height of 2 m. A precision timer indicates that it takes the rock 0.71 s to fall to the surface. What is the acceleration from gravity on this planet?

If a dog runs at 7 m/s straight off the end of a doc that is 0.5m above the water, how far will the dog go before hitting the surface of the water? Draw a sketch showing important points in the motion • Establish a coordinate system and define symbols • Draw a motion diagram • List knowns and desired unknowns • Identify and write down the relevant equation(s), using the symbols defined in your sketch • Solve equation(s) for the desired unknown • Substitute in the known values, including units, and calculate unknown value • Check units and assess if your answer is reasonable
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
