Using what's given below, answer the following parts for practice: Ansdrew needs to get produce from the store, which is a distance d=2.87 km east of his condo. Andrew rides his bicycle to the store at a constant speed of v1= 6.19 m/s, and rides back to his condoat the slower speed of v2=2.22 m/s. The figure below is not drawn to scale. Part A: How long, in seconds, does it take for Andrew to reach the store? And how long in both seconds and minutes does the whole trip take? Part B: What total distance, in kilometers, was traveled by Andrew during the whole trip? Part C: What is the magnitude, in kilometers, of Andrew's displacement for the entire trip and what was the direction of his displacement for the entire trip?
*PLEASE ANSWER #2 and #3* Sketch a graph of how you would expect an instantaneous acceleration vs. time graph to look for a cart released from rest on an inclined track. Next to this graph, sketch a new graph of the acceleration vs. time for a cart with a much larger mass. Explain your reasoning. Write down the equation(s) that best represent each of these graphs. If there are constants in your equation, what kinematic quantities do they represent? How would you determine these constants from your graph? Sketch a graph of instantaneous velocity vs. time for each case. Use the same scale for the time axes as the acceleration graphs. Write down the equation(s) for each graph.
