Chapter 1.1, Problem 2dT
D. Review your earlier interpretation of the speed for your small tape segment. (See section I.)
Is that interpretation valid for the entire motion that generated the tape?
Based on the speed for your piece of tape, could you successfully predict how far the object would move in:
How can you modify the interpretation of the speed so that it applies even to motion with varying speed?
What name is given to a speed that is interpreted in this way?

A. What would units of speed be in this system? Explain.
B. What would units of velocity be in this system? Explain.
C. What would units of acceleration be in this system? Explain.
A pendulum is released and swings until it stops. If it passes through an arc of 25 inches the first pass, and if on each successive pass it travels 2/5 the distance of the preceding pass, how far will it travel before stopping? To solve this problem fully, respond the following questions
a) Write the distance traveled in expanded form
b) Write the distance traveled in sigma notation
c) How far will it travel before stopping?
In what reasonable ways can you represent or describe the motion of a car traveling from one stoplight to the next? Construct each representation for the moving car.

- PLEASE ANSWER ON PAPER!!! The difference in length of a spring on a pogo stick from its non-compressed length when a teenager is jumping on it after θ seconds can be described by the function f(θ)= 2sinθ + √3 Part A: Determine all values where the pogo stick's spring will be equal to its non-compressed length. Part B: If the angle was doubled, that is θ became 2θ, what are the solutions in the interval [0, 2π)? How do these compare to the original function? Part C: A toddler is jumping on another pogo stick whose length of their spring can be represented by the function g(θ)= 1 - cos2 θ + √3 At what times are the springs from the original pogo stick and the toddler's pogo stick lengths equal?

- This is one of the twelve images that make up "The Horse in Motion", copyright 1878 by Eadweard Muybridge and now available via Creative Commons license. In this image, the two front legs are rotating in opposite directions from our point of view one clockwise and one counter-clockwise around their respective shoulder joints. These images and those like them helped scientists understand the physics of gross-motor-motion for living things. In your first post, discuss the functional morphology or gait of a person or animal species as it relates to your data and observations. For example: How does a person change the moment of inertia of their arm when beginning to run as compared when they are walking? If you look at a picture of a running horse like the one shown below, can you tell which legs are rotating so that the foot moves toward the front of the horse and which are rotating in the opposite direction?
