A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of -10 m / s." What is wrong with the student's statement? What has the student actually described? Explain.
A fireworks shell is accelerated from rest to a velocity of 65.0 m/s over a distance of 0.250 m. (a) Calculate the acceleration. (b) How long did theacceleration last?
Bacteria move back and forth using their flagella (structures that look like little tails). Speeds of up to 50m/s(50106m/s) have been observed. The total distance traveled by a bacterium is large for its size, whereas its displacement is small. Why is this?

I don't understand how to do this. Now let's see what we can tell from an equation for position:x(t) = 6t^2 + 4.2t + 9What is the object's initial position? Assume each term has units of meters, and that time is in seconds
Based on a grade 11 physics student, answer the following question: The position-time graph below represents the motion of two speed skaters, Bill and Ted on their Excellent Adventure as they time travel back to the 1952 winter Olympics in Oslo. What was Ted’s velocity at 20s? What was Bill’s velocity during the middle portion of the race? What was Ted’s average velocity throughout the race? What was Ted’s acceleration through the race? (assume constant) Make a velocity-time graph of Bill & Ted’s Speed Skating race.
An object moves in one dimension, according to the position versus time graph. Express your answers in m/s. A. What is the average velocity between the times 0 s and 0.4 s? B. What is the average velocity between the times 0.4 s and 1 s? C. What is the average velocity between the times 0.6 s and 1.6 s? D. What is the average velocity between the times 0 s and 2 s?
George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his velocity in meters per second? Also, is the acceleration due to gravity negative or positive or it depends? I'm really confused. Please help and explain in an easy to understand.
A car in stop-and-go traffic starts at rest, moves forward 20 mm in 8.0 ss, then comes to rest again. The velocity-versus-time plot for this car is given in the figure(Figure 1). What distance does the car cover in the first 4.0 seconds of its motion? What distance does the car cover in the last 2.0 seconds of its motion? What is the constant speed V that characterizes the middle portion of its motion?
What is the average velocity of this displacement time graph. My answer is 0.0833m/s because I am diving the final displacement of 2 metres by 24 seconds.Please keep in mind only use the whole number quanities in the graph such as in cooridinate- (7,4.5)
You start your bicycle ride at the top of a hill. You coast down the hill at a constant of 4.0 m/s2. When you get at the bottom of the hill, you are moving at 25m/s, and you pedal to maintain that speed. If you continue at this speed for 1 minute, how far will you have gone from the time you left the hilltop?
