- After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by v=1.2i9.8tj where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The balls displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by r=00.3803vdt To perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem [A+Bf(x)]dx=Adx+Bf(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s.arrow_forwardFigure OQ1.13 shows two vectors D1 and D2.

Find the average acceleration of the space shuttle between the time interval t=10 s and t=1 minutes. *arrow_forward
- Your answer is partially correct. A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity = (2.54î) m/s and a constant acceleration a ( − 4.67î – 1.95ĵ) m/s². When the particle reaches its maximum x coordinate, what are (a) its velocity, (b) its position vector?

- A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by the following expressions: 2. x = (18.0 m/s)t and y = (4.00 m/s)t – (4.90 m/s²) t² (a) Write a vector expression for the ball's position as a function of time, using the unit vectors i and j. By taking derivatives, obtain expressions for (b) the velocity vector v as a function of time and (c) the acceleration vector a as a function of time. Next use unit-vector notation to write ex- pressions for (d) the position, (e) the velocity, and (f) the acceleration of the golf ball, all at t = 3.00 s.arrow_forwardI have no idea to how to start to this question: Wags (a dog) decides to go on a journey. He begins his journey by traveling 58 meters in a direction directly south. He then runs 100.0 meters in a direction 30◦north of west. During the last leg of his journey, he follows a scent for 59 meters in a direction 30◦east of north. What distance does Wags end up from his initial startingpoint?arrow_forwardThe Moon is about 3.8 x 10° m from Earth. Traveling at the speed of light, 3.0 x 10° m/s, how long does it take a laser beam to go from Earth to the Moon and back again (in s)? The same physics was responsible for the noticeable delay in communications signals between lunar astronauts and controllers at the Houston Space Flight Center. Sarrow_forward

The bird is flying due south at a rate of 400 feet per minute. a) sketch a labeled picture that represents this situation. Use s for the distance ( in feet) that the bird has flown, and d for the distance between the bird and the bird watchers after t minutes( where t>0) b) Express d as a function of s c) Express s as a function of t d) Find d of s What does it represent d of s = it represents__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________arrow_forwardQuestion 4: An object is moving in the x-y plane according to the following formulas: x = 25t and y = 14t²+9, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. a) Write a vector expression for the position as a function of time, using the unit vectors î and j. b) Work out the expressions for the velocity vector v as a function of time and the acceleration vector a as a function of time c) Find for the position, the velocity, and the acceleration of the object at t = 3.00 s in unit vector formatarrow_forwardA weather forecast states the temperature is predicted to be −5 °C the following day.
