gardener walks in a flower garden as illustrated in the figure below. a.)What distance does the gardener travel? b.)What is the gardener’s displacement?
Two students, student 1 and student 2, are discussing the graph shown above, which shows the vertical component of the velocity of the box from when it leaves the ramp to immediately before it hits the floor. The students make the following statements.
Student 1: This graph shows that the vertical acceleration of the box is constant, and that the box’s speed decreases for the entire time shown.
Student 2: The area between the graph and the time axis is the box’s vertical displacement, but the graph is incorrect because the positive displacement should be equal to the negative displacement.
(i) Would the slope of the graph of vertical velocity as a function of time shown above part (c) be different for this scenario in which the box is launched from the larger angle? Justify your response.
