Fundamentals of Kinematics
A.) Consider a particle moving in a straight line and assume that it's position is defined by the equation x = 6t2 - t3 (^-exponent). t is in sec and x is in meters. What is it's velocity at t = 3 sec? What is it's acceleration at t = 1.5 sec? And what is the total displacement at t = 3 sec?

You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity.

- Concept Simulation 2.3 offers a useful review of the concepts central to this problem. An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +12.9 m/s and measures a time of 24.8 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet?

A number of flash photographs of the sphere are taken at 0.10s intervals: 9. .. This diagram is shown sideways- the first black dot is at 0 cm and the next at 4 cm. Figure 1.19 The first photograph is taken with the sphere at the top at time t = 0s. Explain how Figure 1.19 shows that the sphere reaches a constant speed. Determine the constant speed reached by the sphere. Determine the distance that the sphere has fallen when t 0.80 s. In a real photograph, each image of the sphere appears slightly blurred because each flash is not instantaneous and takes a time b of 0.0010s. Determine the absolute uncertainty that this gives in the position of each position of the black sphere when it is travelling at the final constant speed.

- I looked at the motion diagram and thought it was representing an object accelerating to the right and getting faster.
