Suppose an object starts at time t=0s at a position defined as x=0m. At t=0.5s, the object is at x=1.5m, and at t=1.0s, the object is at x=2.0m. What is the average velocity for the first interval (approximated at t=0.25s) and for the second interval (approximated at t=0.75s)? What is the average acceleration of the object?
The acceleration of a bus is given by ax(t) = αt, where α = 1.15 m/s3 is a constant. a. If the bus's velocity at time t1 = 1.05 s is 4.90 m/s, what is its velocity at time t2 = 2.20 s? b. If the bus's position at time t1 = 1.05 s is 6.05 m, what is its position at time t2 = 2.20 s?
From t = 0 to t = 4.14 min, a man stands still, and from t = 4.14 min to t = 8.28 min, he walks briskly in a straight line at a constant speed of 1.60 m/s. What are (a) his average velocity vavg and (b) his average acceleration aavg in the time interval 1.00 min to 5.14 min? What are (c) vavg and (d) aavg in the time interval 2.00 min to 6.14 min?
A simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.2 m/s in 2.14 s, what will be his total time?
A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.55 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard for t2 = 5 s until it comes to a stop. How far, in meters, from the original location of the limb will the car be when it stops?
Referring 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? Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
