- A particle travels with velocity v= (8m/s^2) t-7m/s. A.)find the average acceleration for two 1-s intervals, one beginning at t=3s and the other beginning at t=4s. B.)sketch v versus t. What is the instantaneous acceleration at any time? Please show your complete solution and answer all. write your solution clearly and readable. Thank you.arrow_forwardMake a sketch of the trajectory of a ball after it has been thrown. Draw the ball in at least five different positions; two when the ball is going up, two when it is going down, and one at its maximum height. Label the horizontal and vertical axes of your coordinate system. On your sketch, draw and label the expected acceleration vectors of the ball (relative sizes and directions) for the five different positions. Decompose each acceleration vector into its vertical and horizontal components. On your sketch, draw and label the velocity vectors of the object at the same positions you chose to draw your acceleration vectors. Decomposes each velocity vector into its vertical and horizontal components. Check to see that the changes in the velocity vector are consistent with the acceleration vectors.arrow_forwardTwo dogs, Ajax and Bandit, are pulling a Radio Flyer wagon carrying their best cat friend, Casper. the overhead view of the dog force vectors is shown to scale in the grid at the right. (Assume 4 significant figures.) a. Find the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown. b. If that old rusty wagon DOES NOT MOVE, find the force (including direction) that the ground exerts on the wagon to keep it in place, in spite of the dogs. The forces are measured in units of newtons (N). (You may use EITHER geometry OR vector addition with Cartesian or polarcoordinates. Either way, a diagram to scale is required. Be sure to JUSTIFY whyyour answer to part b is the opposite of your answer to part a.)arrow_forward
- A plane flying at 78.2 m/s [W32°S] takes 42 seconds to change its velocity to 78.2 m/s [S32°E]. a) Solve for the change in velocity of the plane algebraically, resolving vectors into their x- and y-components. b) What was the average acceleration of the plane over this time interval? c) Explain why the speed of the plane didn't change and yet the plane underwent acceleration. Please label sketches with events as well as GRASS and explanations to show your work. Please label triangle sides. Remember to have the magnitude rounded to a reasonable number of sig figs, the unit and the direction (if needed) in your answers.arrow_forwardA car drives around an eliptical race track as pictured at right. It starts at rest near the bottom of the diagram and speeds up to its maximum speed between points A and B, after which it conintues at a constant speed. Draw acceleration vectors at points A, B, and C to represent the direction of the acceleration of the car at these 3 points. Explain your answer. Is the magnitude of the acceleration at point B larger, smaller, or equal to the magnitude of the acceleration at point C? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardI Review You are riding on a Jet Ski at an angle of 35° upstream on a river flowing with a speed of 2.8 m/s. Part A If your velocity relative to the ground is 9.5 m/s at an angle of 20.0° upstream, what is the speed of the Jet Ski relative to the water?

- A cannon is turned towards the west and a cannonball is fired. This cannonball has a velocity of 252 kmph at an angle 60 degrees. The cannonball lands on a hillside 100 metres above its starting level. What is the range of the cannon ball? Make a simple sketch. Make a list of all given values, units, and the variables they represent. write the general form of the equation you are going to use. Insert the known values and solve. State at the start of the problem which direction is positive by using an up or down arrow. Keep the velocity components and time to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardShow your solution. Two cars, 100 apart, are about to collide. The cars, X & Y, are running at constant speed of 60kph &80 kph, respectively. a.) Illustrate the velocity vectors of the cars and formulate the equations. b.) What is the speed (in kph) of car Y observed on car X? c.) How many seconds will they collide?arrow_forwardTwo students, student 1 and student 2, are discussing the graph shown above, which shows the vertical component of the velocity of the box from when it leaves the ramp to immediately before it hits the floor. The students make the following statements. Student 1: This graph shows that the vertical acceleration of the box is constant, and that the box’s speed decreases for the entire time shown. Student 2: The area between the graph and the time axis is the box’s vertical displacement, but the graph is incorrect because the positive displacement should be equal to the negative displacement. (e) Which underlined phrase or phrases in student 2’s statement are correct, if either? If neither phrase is correct, write “none.”arrow_forward
