- Sketch a graph of position versus time for the following motion using backwards as the positive direction and forwards as the negative direction. You walk back 2 meters for two seconds at a constant speed, you stop for two seconds, and you return to your starting place by walking forward at a slower, but still steady, speed of 0.5 m/s. Once you reach your starting point, you stop again. Label your axes.arrow_forwardDave asked Shaun to pass the basketball ball, Shaun passed the ball to Dave with an initial speed of 13 m/s at an angle of 30°.

Consider the two airplanes shown in the figure(Figure 1). At time t=0, airplane 1 is at the location (X, 0) and moving in the positive y direction; airplane 2 is at (0, Y) and moving in the positive x direction. The speed of airplane 1 is v1. A) What speed must airplane 2 have if the airplanes are to collide at the point ( X, Y)?
