Sketch a velocity versus time graph for the motion using backwards as the positive direction and forwards as the negative direction. You walk two meters backwards for two seconds at a constant speed, you stop for two seconds, and then return to your starting place walking forward at a steady speed of 0.5 m/s and then you stop again.
Two runners (Jacob and Stephan) accelerate uniformly from rest at 3.6 m/s2 for 8.00 s. What is their final velocity? How far do they travel? (please hand-write it and make the steps very clear to understand)
This is a graph of velocity vs time, what can we say about the speed of the object?

- Consider the velocity vs. time graph of a person in an elevator shown in Figure 2.58. Suppose the elevator is initially at rest. It then accelerates for 3 seconds, maintains that velocity for 15 seconds, then decelerates for 5 seconds until it stops. The acceleration for the entire trip is not constant so we cannot use the equations of motion from Motion Equations for Constant Acceleration in One Dimension for the complete trip. (We could, however, use them in the three individual sections where acceleration is a constant.) Sketch graphs of (a) position vs. time and (b) acceleration vs. time for this trip.arrow_forwardTwo dogs are racing. A poodle runs 9000m at a constant velocity for 10 minutes. From rest, a mastiff runs at a constant acceleration of 0.086m/s2 for 70 seconds. What is the maximum speed the poodle reaches? What is the maximum speed the mastiff reaches?arrow_forwardA plane starts from rest at one end of a 600 meter long runway and accelerates to a speed of 105 meters per second at the other end of the runway. Assuming that the acceleration of the plane is constant, how much time does the plane spend on the runway? Thank you.arrow_forward
- Spud Webb, height 5'7", was one of the shortest basketball players to play in the NBA. But he had an impressive vertical leap; he was reportedly able to jump 110 cm off the ground. Hint: suggest using the Prep and Solve steps. To jump this high, with what speed would he leave the ground? What was his hang time (how long was he off the ground)?arrow_forwardAn Olympic gold medalist from Australia runs one time around the 400 meter track in 40 seconds. What is his average velocity?

- A passenger bus starts from a stop and travels with a uniform acceleration of 0.6m/s2for 20suntil it reached a maximum velocity. It travels with this maximum velocity for another 40s, thebrake is then applied so that a uniform retardation is obtained and then come to a halt at thenext bus stop after 10s.Sketch the velocity-time graph of this motion and use this to calculate the total distance.arrow_forwardA ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 40 m/s, so that its height (in meters) after t seconds is: h(t)=2t(20-t) I don't have answer pages at the end, so ill need an explanation as well, please.
