A ball rolls up, then down an incline. Sketch an acceleration diagram for the entire motion. (An acceleration diagram is similar to a velocity diagram; however, the vectors on an acceleration diagram represent the acceleration rather than the velocity of an object.)
If we're shown a drawing of a person's velocity and acceleration vectors,
a. how do we know whether the person is speeding up, slowing down or moving at constant speed?
(Note: Vectors in the "same direction" are parallel, and those in"opposite directions" are anti-parallel. So it's best
to avoid these phrases because we want an answer that encompasses all possibilities, not just parallel and anti-
parallel.)
A car goes around a corner in a circular arc at constant speed. Draw a motion diagram including positions, velocity vectors, and acceleration vectors.

I'm very confused and now stuck on the questions. On the apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf club improvised from a tool. The free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1/6 of its value on earth. Suppose he hit the ball with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle 26 degrees above the horizontal. A.) How long was the ball in flight? B.).How far did it travel? C.) Ignoring air resistance, how much farther would it travel on the moon than on the earth? Thank you for all your help!arrow_forward
- What is the direction of the acceleration vector for each of these situations? Remember that if an object speeds up, then the velocity and acceleration vectors are in the same direction; if an object slows down, then they are in opposite directions. Any object that is traveling in a vertical direction also experiences acceleration due to gravity. a. {up/ down/ right/ left} Object travels to left and slows down. b. {up/ down/ right/ left} Object is tossed upward.arrow_forward1. Draw a qualitative motion diagram (including both velocity and acceleration vectors) for the following objects in the following situations: Be sure to show the vector subtraction that supports how you got your acceleration vectors. a) Viewed from above, a car traveling around a traffic circle having radius R at constant speed. b) A person in a perfectly circular roller coaster loop-de loop having radius R.

He landed safely on the far side of the river. It was reported that he leapt 22 ft across while falling 20 ft. Tall tale, or possible?a. What is the minimum speed with which he’d need to run off the edge of the cliff to make it safely to the far side of the river?b. The world-record time for the 100 m dash is approximately 10 s. Given this, is it reasonable to expect Brady to be able to run fast enough to achieve Brady’s leap?arrow_forwardRead and analyze the problem below then solve. Show a complete solution with illustration. 1. The range R of a projectile fired at an acute angle e with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of v meters per second is given by R=V²/g sin20 where g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/sec² near the Earth's surface. An archer targets an object 100 meters away from her position. If she positions her arrow at an angle of 32° and releases the arrow at the speed of 30 m/sec. will she hit her target?
