Concept explainers
Problems 39 through 45 are motion problems similar to those you will learn to solve in Chapter 2. For now, simply interpret the problem by drawing a motion diagram showing the object's position and its velocity vectors. Do not solve these problems or do any mathematics.
42. A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.0 m/s hits a 5.0-m-wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continues on at 6.0 m/s. What is her acceleration on the rough ice?

- A person drops a rock from the edge of a cliff that is 1350 ft high. The initial acceleration is a=−32 ft/sec^2. 1. What is the velocity equation? Use t as the variable and v for the velocity. 2. What is the displacement equation? Use t as the variable and s as the displacement. 3.What time did it hit the ground? (Hint: s=0) 4. What was the velocity just before impact?arrow_forwardwill someone please help me with this physics questions?

Formula speed distance/time d. What is the boy's velocity? Formula velocity displacement/timearrow_forward1. 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 FALSEarrow_forward5.
