Question
Describe the acceleration of the ship based on the graph below (See the picture).
A.The ship is moving in the forward direction at a steady rate. Then it accelerates in the forward direction and then decelerates.
B.The ship is moving in the forward direction at a steady rate. Then it turns around and starts decelerating, while traveling in the reverse direction. It then accelerates, but slowly.
C.The ship is moving in the forward direction at a steady rate. Then it decelerates in the forward direction, and then continues to slow down in the forward direction, but with more deceleration.
D.The ship is moving in the forward direction at a steady rate. Then it decelerates in the forward direction, and then continues to slow down in the forward direction, but with less deceleration.

- Consider a person in a chair with wheels (like you have in lab, say). A friend pushes you down the hallway. They let go when you are moving at 4 m/s. You and the chair have a mass of 85 kg. The frictional force between the chair’s wheels and the ground is 18 Newtons. You and the chair will slow to a stop. a) Draw a motion of you and the chair slowing to a stop. Label the acceleration with an arrow. b) Force list for you and the chair c) Free body diagram for you and the chair d) Write each force as a vector using bracket notation. Fill in numbers for each component. e) Write (sum of F) = m x a for yarrow_forwardThe kinematical graphs of a person riding her bicycle are shown below. Time is measured in second, velocity in m/s and acceleration in m/s2. Assume that she starts at x=0. Kinematical Graph 5.png Describe the motion of the bicyclist (direction of velocity and whether the velocity is constant, increasing and decreasing) during each 1s interval from 0-4 s using the graph. Draw the position – time (x-t) graph of this motion. This is qualitative only, showing the shapes of the x-t curves in each interval and need not be drawn to scale. Draw the acceleration – time graph (a-t graph) for this motion. Draw this graph showing the values of acceleration in m/s2. What is the displacement of the bicyclist from 0-4 s.

- In the Soap Box Derby, kids build non-motorized cars with very low-friction wheels. They race by rolling down a hill. The track at Akron's Derby Downs begins with a 14-meter section tilted 15 degrees below the horizontal. A. Draw a useful pictorial representation for this problem. Clearly indicate the angle above, and a useful coordinate system. B. What is the acceleration of a car rolling down this hill (ignore friction)? C. If a car starts from rest at the top of the section so that will be its speed at the bottom of this section of the track?arrow_forwardThe direction of the ball is indicated by the arrow. For each case, indicate if there is an acceleration. Explain why or why not. Indicate the direction of the acceleration. a. =5 m/s =5 m/sarrow_forwardUse the scenario below to answer questions 1-2. Rex decides to launch a priceless vase into the air at a 90-degree angle. The initial velocity of the vase is +7.0 m/s. 1. Dylan claims that the vase would achieve a higher height if it were launched at a 45-degree angle. Is Dylan correct? A. Dylan is correct because a 45-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range. B. Dylan is correct because larger launch angles result in a smaller vertical range. C. Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree and 45-degree launch angle result in the same vertical range. D. Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range. e Education TM Inc.arrow_forward
