An object’s position as a function of time is x(t) = 9 m + 1.5 m/s t– 3 m/s^2 t^2a. Calculate the object’s position, velocity, and acceleration at t = 6.2 s. At this point in time, is the object to the left or to the right of the origin? is it moving towards the left or towards the right? is the object speeding up or slowing down?b. What is the maximum positive displacement reached?
A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 355000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 14.76 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 14.76 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
a.
3 hr 20 min
b.
2 hr 43 min
c.
1 hr 56 min
d.
6 hr 41 min
Problem 1: The Tesla Model S P85 electric car accelerates from 0 to 30 mph in 1.4 s, 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 s and 0 to 110 mph in 12.1 s. Estimate how far from the start (in meters) the car is at t=12.1 s. You are given limited information about the motion of the car, so you will need to make some reasonable assumption about how it accelerates. Describe what assumption you used to solve the problem.
Problem 2: The Tesla Model S P85 electric car stops from 60 mph over a distance of 118 feet. Find the average deceleration of the car? Express it in multiples of the acceleration due to gravity, g. Compare it to the average acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in problem 1. Which one is greater, by magnitude?
