- An object starts from rest and moves along the a axis such that for the first 10 seconds, itsposition is given by x = 2t^3 + 3t in meters. After that, it continues with a constant velocityfor 5 seconds. It then speeds down with a constant deceleration of magnitude 5 m/s? andcomes to a complete stop.(a) Find the instantaneous velocity and acceleration at t = 10.(b) Find the total displacement of the object.arrow_forwardThe froghopper Philaenus spumarius is supposedly the best jumper in the animal kingdom. To start a jump, this insect can accelerate at 4.00 km/s2 over a distance of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially designed "jumping legs." (a) Find the upward velocity with which the insect takes off. m/s (b) In what time interval does it reach this velocity? ms (c) How high would the insect jump if air resistance were negligible? The actual height it reaches is about 70 cm, so air resistance must be a noticeable force on the leaping froghopper. m Need Help?

(a) What is the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground? (Treat the ball as a particle.) (b) Is the average acceleration up or down?arrow_forwardA jogger accelerates from rest to 3.12 m/s in 3.52 s. A car accelerate from 22.2 to 39.7 m/s also in 3.52 s. (a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the jogger. (b) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the car. (c) How much futher does the car travel than the jogger during the 3.52 s?arrow_forwardAn object has an initial velocity of 15 m/s.

- A person walks 20.0 meters in a straight line. Then the person turns around and walks back 18.0 meters along the same line. The time for the walk is 9.00 seconds.(a) What is the average speed for this walk?(b) What is the average velocity for this walk?(c) What is the displacement?(d) What is the total distance?arrow_forwardA particle moves along one dimension with a constant acceleration of 3.45 m/s2 over a time interval. At the end of this interval it has reached a velocity of 10.2 m/s. (a) If its original velocity is 5.10 m/s, what is its displacement (in m) during the time interval? m (b) What is the distance it travels (in m) during this interval? m (c) A second particle moves in one dimension, also with a constant acceleration of 3.45 m/s2 , but over some different time interval. Like the first particle, its velocity at the end of the interval is 10.2 m/s, but its initial velocity is −5.10 m/s. What is the displacement (in m) of the second particle over this interval? m (d) What is the total distance traveled (in m) by the second particle in part (c), during the interval in part (c)? marrow_forwardA runner travels 100 m in 10.0 s.
