- The position of an object as a function of time is given as x = At3 + Bt2 + Ct + D . The constants are A = 2.41 m/s3 B = 1.37 m/s2 ' , C = -4.61 m/s, and D = 3.35 m.

They start at the goal, run 10 m toward the center of the field and then run back to the goal. Then they run 20 m toward the center of the field and back to the goal. Finally they run 30 m toward the center of the field, turn around, and run back to the goal again. One player times herself to try and beat her personal best time. She runs the first 10 m in 2.5 s and gets back to the goal in 2.8 s. Then she runs the 20-m sprint in 5.7 s and gets back to the goal in 6.7 s. She runs the final 30-m sprint in 12 s and gets back to the goal in 15 s. Define the positive direction as forward, toward the center of the field and consider what a position versus time graph of her motion would look like. Rank the sprints according to their slopes on the position versus time graph, from steepest positive slope to steepest negative slope. Rank from steepest positive slope to steepest negative slope. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.arrow_forward

This aptly named creature captures its prey by shooting a stream of water drops at an insect. either flying or at rest. The bug falls into the water and the fish gobbles it up. The archerfish has high accuracy at distances of 1.2 m to 1.5 m, and it sometimes makes hits at distances up to 3.5 m. A groove in the roof of its mouth, along with a curled tongue, forms a tube that enables the fish to impart high velocity to the water in its mouth when it suddenly closes its gill flaps. Suppose the archerfish shoots at a target that is 2.40 m away, measured along a line at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. With what velocity must the water stream be launched if it is not to drop more than 5.00 cm verticaly on its path to the target? 22.65 Your response is within 10% of the correct value.
