A softball player slides into second base. Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram of the player from the time he begins to slide until he reaches the base. Number the dots in order, starting with zero.
To draw: The motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is drawn.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
A softball player slides into second base.
Explanation:
The velocity of softball player will be in the initial stage is zero and as he slides and moves slower and slower till he rest at the base and corresponding the travelling distance becomes smaller and smaller till he stops.
The motion diagram of the softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is shown in Figure 1.
Conclusion:
Hence, the motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is drawn.
