Watch out for positive and negative signs!
7. Stephen rode his skateboard 5.0 km from his home to school. What is his
displacement?
An ant is crawling along a straight wire, which we shall call the x axis, from A to B to C to D (which overlaps A), as shown in the figure below. (Figure 1) O is the origin. Suppose you take measurements and find that AB is 35 cm , BC is 15 cm ,and AO is 5 cm .
Find the displacement of the ant after it has moved over the interval from A to B? Express your answer in centimeters.
Find the distance the ant moved over the interval from A to B? Express your answer in centimeters
We want to find the coefficient of restitution e between the ball and the floor. We will be able to measure the time of
flight between subsequent bounces, but not the velocities before and after each impact.
Question 1
a. Using the kinematics equation for position, find a relationship
between the time of flight tn and the velocity of the ball after
the nth bounce. You should obtain a quadratic equation that
has two solutions for the time tm, but only one of them
represents the time of flight.
b. Using the kinematics equation for velocity and the relationship
determined in the previous step, find the relationship between
the velocity right after the nth bounce and the velocity right
before the (n +1)th bounce?
c. Given your answers to the previous parts of this question and
the definition of €, find the coefficient of restitution e in terms of
the subsequent times of flight tn and tr+1.

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.

(a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway?
