- At time t0=0.0s, a car, starting from rest, moves south. It continues moving south, and by time tf =121s, it has covered a distance of d=6689m. Take north as the positive x direction, as indicated in the figure. Part A: What is the car's average speed, in meters per second, during this period? Part B: What is the car's displacement, in meters, during this period? Part C: What is the car's average velocity, in meters per second, during this period? Part D: A different car, after starting from rest at t0 =0.0s, travels for the same period, tf =121s, attaining a final velocity of vf =−30.0m/s. What is this car's average acceleration, in meters per squared seconds, during the period described?arrow_forwardPart A.) What is the final velocity, in meters per second, of a freight train that accelerates at a rate of 0.095 m/s2 for 8.75 min, starting with an initial velocity of 3.8 m/s? Part B.) If the train can slow down at a rate of 0.575 m/s2, how long, in seconds, does it take to come to a stop from this velocity? Part C.) How far, in meters, does the train travel during the process described in part (A)? Part D.) How far, in meters, does the train travel during the process described in part (B)?arrow_forwardA block falls from rest off a building that is y = 185 m tall. At what time,in seconds, does the block hit the ground? t0 = How long, in seconds, does it take for the block to be y′ = 38 m off the ground? t1 = How much time, in seconds, does it take for the block to fall the additional y′ distance? t2 = What is the speed, in meters per second, of the block right before it hits the ground? v=arrow_forward

Velocity data measured as the plane approaches takeoff are shown in the table below. t(s) vx(m/s) 0 0 10 23 20 46 30 69 (a) What is the plane’s acceleration as it approaches takeoff? (b) At what time t does the plane leave the ground? (c) Safety regulations require that the length of the runway must be at least three times the takeoff distance. What is the minimum length runway this aircraft can use?arrow_forwardReferring to the figure, a truck drives a distance d=30.1m in the positive x direction in a time t1=17.2s, at which point the truck brakes, coming to rest in t2=8.13s. Part A: What is the truck's average velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, during the t1 time period? Part B: Assuming the truck started from rest and moved with a constant acceleration, what was the acceleration, in meters per suqared second, during the time interval t1? Part C: What was the truck's instananeous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? And using the result from the previous answer, what was the truck's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period?
