O A car moves a distance of 20 miles and is 20 miles from the starting point after 4 hours. O A car moves a diştance of 40 miles and is 20 miles from the starting point after 1 hour. O A car moves a distance of 40 miles and is 20 miles from the starting point after 2 hours. ssionld-D464133958#arrow_forwardc) Su Bingtian, Asia's fastest man, is running along a straight line. Assume that he starts from rest from point A and accelerates uniformly for T s, before reaching a speed of 3 m/s. He is able to maintain this speed for 5 s. After that, it takes him 6 s to decelerate uniformly to come to a stop at point B. Sketch a speed versus time graph based on the information given above. Find the value of Tif the distance between A and B is 100 m. i. ii. iii. Determine the deceleration.arrow_forwardThe figure shows a graph of the position x of two cars, C and D, as a function of time t.According to this graph, which statements about these cars must be true? (There could be more than one correct choice.) The magnitude of the acceleration of car C is less than the magnitude of the acceleration of car D. Both cars have the same acceleration. The magnitude of the acceleration of car C is greater than the magnitude of the acceleration of car D. The cars meet at time t = 10 s. At time t = 10 s, both cars have the same velocity.arrow_forward
- Two cars are moving in the same direction (the positive direction) on a straight road. The acceleration of each car also points in the positive direction. Car 1 has a greater acceleration than car 2 has. Which one of the following statements is true? The velocity of car 1 is always greater than the velocity of car 2. o In the same time interval,the velocity of car 1 changes by a greater amount than the velocity of car 2 does. The velocity of car 2 is always greater than the velocity of car 1. o In the same time interval,the velocity of car 2 changes by a greater amount than the velocity of car 1 does.arrow_forwardA dog and her handler are at rest, and are facing each other at a distance of 40.0 m. On command, they run towards each other: the handler runs at a constant speed vp = 2.5 m/s, while the dog first runs with constant acceleration ad = 2.0 m/s 2 until she reaches her maximum speed of vd = 4.5 m/s. a) Calculate the time it takes the dog to reach her maximum speed. Choose t = 0 when the handler and dog start to run. b) Find the positions of the handler and dog at the instant the dog reaches her maximum speed. Choose the coordinate, such as that the handler is at the origin x = 0 at time t = 0. %3D %3D %3D Notes Commentsarrow_forwardCar A is heading east at 30 m/s and Car B is heading west at 22 m/s.

- e rocket-driven sled Sonic Wind No. 2, used for investigating the physiological effects of large accelerations, runs on a straight, level track 1070 m (3500 ft) long. Starting from rest, it can reach a speed of 224 m/s(500 mi/h) in 0.900 s. (a) Compute the acceleration in m/s, assuming that it is constant. (b) What is the ratio of this acceleration to that of a freely falling body (8)? (c) What distance is covered in 0.900 s? (d) A magazine article states that at the end of a certain run, the speed of the sled de- creased from 283 m/s (632 mi/h) to zero in 1.40 s and that during this time the magnitude of the acceleration was greater than 40g. Are these figures consistent?arrow_forward)A car is moving along a straight line defined to be the positive x direction. Its velocity is measured and found to be a function of time given by Vz (t) = at² where a is a known constant. The car was at the point x = A at the time t = 2sec. Find the car's position as a function of time. How fast would the car be going just before it hits a wall located at x = L? 今ォメ X=A X =Larrow_forwardA car traveling at 33.0 km/h speeds up to 45.0 km/h in a time of 7.00 s. The same car later speeds up from 63.0 km/h to 75.0 km/h in a time of 7.00 s. Let the +x direction point in the direction the car is traveling. Calculate the magnitude a, of the constant acceleration for the first time interval. Determine the distance de traveled by the car during the first time interval. Calculate the magnitude ay of the constant acceleration for the second time interval. m/s² m/s² Earrow_forward
- Welcome Rotonda is a roundabout which is about 30 m in diameter. Coming from Quezon City to exit towards España Blvd., a rider on a bicycle increases his speed on the roundabout at a constant rate, from 15 to 25 kph over a distance of 28 m. a. Determine the magnitude of the total acceleration of the bicycle 3 s after he begins to increase his speed. Determine the magnitude of the total acceleration as he exits the roundabout. please include drawings if possible thank you!arrow_forwardA car, as shown in the figure, is moving towards the left, which is the negative x direction. It travels a distance d=31.7m during time interval Δt=8.48s. a) What is the car’s average speed, in meters per second, during the time interval? b) What is the value of the x component of the car’s average velocity, in meters per second, during the given time interval?arrow_forwardA car starts from rest and travels for 10.0 s with a uniform acceleration of +2.0 m/sf. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of -1.5 m/s. If the brakes are applied for 1.0 s, determine each of the following.
