Concept explainers
Problems 49 through 52 show a partial motion diagram. For each:
a. Complete the motion diagram by adding acceleration vectors.
b. Write a physics problem for which this is the correct motion diagram. Be imaginative! Don’t forget to include enough information to make the problem complete and to state clearly what is to be found.
c. Draw a pictorial representation for your problem.

Find the average speed.arrow_forwardA car travels with an average speed of 8.00 meter/second. A. What is the speed in km/s? B. What is the speed in mile/hour? Hint: 1km =1000.0 metersarrow_forward1. A sprinter at a track and Field event is entered in a 500 m race. The starting gun goes off, accelerating every step of the way, he runs the distance of 63.50 seconds. What is the acceleration of the sprinter in units of meters per second squared? How fast is he going as he crosses the finish line in units of meters per second? write the general form of the equation you are going use. list all given values, units, and variables they represent. solve the equation.arrow_forward
- a. You leave your home & drive 45 km in the +y direction for a job interview. They offer you the job so you decide to stop and celebrate with friends on the way home. You leave the interview and drive 22 km in the -y direction. Let your home be your reference point. - What total distance did you drive?(km) - What total distance did you drive? ____km to the a. +y, b. -y, c. +x, d. -x, c. no direction b. You are standing on a circular track that is 400 m long. You begin jogging at the start line and keep jogging until you complete 2 full lap and stop at the same point you started at. - What is the total distance you travel? (m) -What is your final displacement? (m)arrow_forward1. Problem 1: Travelling with an initial speed of 70 km/hr, a car accelerates at 6000km/hr2 along a straight road. (problem la.) How long will it take to reach a speed of 120 km/hr? (problem 1b.) Also, through which distance does the car travel during this time?arrow_forwardA. using your measured distance (35 inches) your average time of motion (drop times 2.04s,1.78,2.26,1.59,1.87 and 1.91)and the constant acceleration equation (x=1/2 at^2)calculate the acceration of the atwood machine. B. using m2-m2/m1+m2(9.8)=20/40=0.5x9.8=4.9 and the masses (60,70g) calculate the expected acceleration. C. what quanatiative compariosn is most appropriate between your results (percent difference or error)?arrow_forward
