- In the particle under constant acceleration model, we identify the variables and parameters vxi, vxf, ax, t, and xf xi. Of the equations in Table 2.2, the first does not involve xf xi, the second does not contain ax, the third omits vxf, and the last leaves out t. So, to complete the set, there should be an equation not involving vxi. (a) Derive it from the others.

- A skier starts from rest down a slope 500.0 m long. The skier accelerates at a constant rate of 2.00 m/s squared. • a. Find the velocity of the skier at the bottom of the slope. Do this by deriving two separate equations for time and then making the expressions equal to each other to solve for the second velocity. • b. Using the distance down the hill, and the two velocities, determine the time it took to descend the hill.arrow_forwarda) At the beginning, the object is located (to the left of, to the right of, or at) the origin.

For the speed vs base graph, we will plot the average velocity for each of the ramp angles (20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 70°) on the y-axis, and the distance travelled (base) on the x-axis. For the speed vs height graph, we will plot the average velocity for each of the ramp angles on the y-axis, and the height of the ramp on the x-axis. For the speed vs slope graph, we will plot the average velocity for each of the ramp angles on the y-axis, and the slope of the ramp (rise over run) on the x-axis. now using this information creat these 3 graphs for the table down below, Ramp angle in degrees Distance (in m) time 1 (s) time 2 (s) time 3 (s) T-avg Velocity(m/s) 20 1.7 0.8 0.7 0.9 0.8 2.125 m/s 30 1.5 0.9 1.1 1.0 1.0 1.5 m/s 45 2 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.4 1.54 m/s 60 1.8 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.7 1.125 m/s 70 1.9 1.6 1.8 2.0 2.0 1.06 m/sarrow_forward
