(b) If the particle is at position 2 mm at time 0 seconds, find a. (c) Using the value of a that you found in (b), what direction is the particle traveling inafter 2 seconds?arrow_forwardMost important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3400g during a time interval of 6.50 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?arrow_forwardIf you divide the total distance traveled on a car trip (as determined by the odometer) by the elapsed time of the trip, are you calculating average speed or magnitude of average velocity? Under what circumstances are these two quantities the same?arrow_forward

At countdown time t= 0 second, the velocity of a particle v=3 m/s.
