I looked at the motion diagram and thought it was representing an object accelerating to the right and getting faster. I thought A and B were right, but my first thought was that C looked like it could be moving to the right and slowing down, could you explain why this is wrong? I tend to get these types of questions wrong.
Two cars leave from the same place at the same time and travel in opposite direction. One car travels at 55 mph and the other at 75 mph. After how many hours will there be 520 miles apart? Please include the FBD
You ride in a boat on a river flowing at 1.7m/s(in the negative y direction). Suppose you would like the boat to move directly across the river (in the positive x direction) with a speed of 5.5m/s.What is the corresponding direction of the boat's velocity relative to the water (i.e. from the positive x direction)?Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.
A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 22.0 m/s. The cliff is h = 37.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure.(d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.) x = y = (e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff? s(f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? vf = m/s ? = ° below the horizontal
You are on the roof of a Physics Building, 35 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.83 m tall, is approaching the building at constant speed of 1.75 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on his head, how far should your professor be when you release the egg? Express your answer without rounding off PLEASE
The brakes on your car can slow you at a rate of 5.2 m/s2. (a) If you are going 137 km/h and suddenly see a state trooper, what is the minimum time in which you can get your car under the 90 km/h speed limit? (The answer reveals the futility of braking to keep your high speed from being detected with a radar or laser gun.) (b) Graph x versus t and v versus t for such a slowing.
A certain cable car is San Francisco can stop in 10 s when traveling at maximum speed. On one occasion, the driver sees a dog a distance d m in front of the car and slams on the brakes instantly. The car reaches the dog 7.81 s later, and the dog jumps off the track just in time. If the car travels 3.41 m beyond the position of the dog before coming to a stop, how far was the car from the dog? [Hint: You will need three equations.] (m)
After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by:v = 1.2 i - 9.8t jwhere v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The ball’s displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by:Δ⃗r=∫00.380s⃗vdtTo perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem:∫[A+Bf(x)]dx=∫Adx+B∫f(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s
Can someone please show me how to compute this? With explanation please. Thank you Identify the law(s) of motion that can be seen or feel in the following instances: a) A pitcher throws a baseball at 150 km/hr towards the catcher. b) A pinch hitter hits a baseball with his bat. c) Physics book sitting on top of the table. d) A basketball rolling on the floor. e) Two delinquent boys wrestling over money.
A person drove a car in a straight line, cutting 8.4 km at a time of 0.12 h, then he ran out of fuel and left the car and walked in the same straight line to the nearest gas station, and he cut 2 km in a time of 0.5h and then returned again in a time of 0.6 h, calculate the average speed For the movement? A) From its inception until reaching the gas station b) from its inception until his return to the car again
15. Hello, Can you please help me with the next problem? 15. Two friends talk on the phone to meet,both come out at the same time in their respective bicycles; one of them with a speed of 25 km/h and the other with a speed of 30 Km/h. If the distance that initially separates them is 120 km:1. How far are they from each other's house?2. How long after dating do they meet? Thank you in advance!
1. Speed is directly proportional to the length of time travel. TRUE OR FALSE 2. In a simulation activity, when a man is moving towards the house, the position versus time graph that you observed is a straight line sloping upward. TRUE OR FALSE 3. In a simulation activity, when a man is moving towards his initial position from the house, the position versus time graph that you observed is a straight line sloping downward. TRUE OR FALSE 4. The average speed is the same as the instantaneous speed when traveling at constant speed. TRUE OR FALSE 5. In free fall motion, the velocity versus time graph is a straight line sloping upward. TRUE OF FALSE 6. The higher the object dropped, the larger its acceleration. TRUE OR FALSE 7. The slope of velocity versus time graph in free fall motion corresponds to acceleration of a falling body. TRUE OR FALSE
