A softball player slides into second base. Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram of the player from the time he begins to slide until he reaches the base. Number the dots in order, starting with zero.
To draw: The motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is drawn.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
A softball player slides into second base.
Explanation:
The velocity of softball player will be in the initial stage is zero and as he slides and moves slower and slower till he rest at the base and corresponding the travelling distance becomes smaller and smaller till he stops.
The motion diagram of the softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is shown in Figure 1.
Conclusion:
Hence, the motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is drawn.

- A man rides a bike along a straight road for 5 min, then has a flat tire. He stops for 5 min to repair the flat, but can’t fix it. He walks the rest of the way, which takes him another 10 min. Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram of the man for the entire motion described here. Number the dots in order, starting with zero.arrow_forwardA boy walks to the store using the following path: 0.4 miles west, 0.2 miles north, 0.3 miles east. What is his displacement from his house?

- A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5.0 m above the water. After entering the water, it sinks to the bottom with a constant velocity equal to the velocity with which it hit the water. The ball reaches the bottom 3.0 safter it is released. How deep is the lake?

- A quarterback throws a pass to a defender on the other team who intercepts the football. Assume the defender had to run 28.3 m away from the quarterback to catch the ball, then 46.4 m towards the quarterback before he is tackled. The entire play took 6.68 seconds. What is the average speed of the defender? NOTE: For the unit only write the symbol not the word.
