- will someone please help me with this physics questions? Part A: draw a detailed motion diagram to this question: An object covers a distance of 8 m in the first second of travel, another 8 m during the next second, and 8 m again during the third second the objects acceleration is ? 1. 5m/s 2. 1.2 m/s 3. 9.8 m/s 4. 11.0 m/s 5. 11.760 m/s Part B A steel ball is dropped from a diving platform from rest. Given that g=9.8 m/s^2, what is the velocity of the ball 1.2 seconds after it's release? (Ignore air resistance) 1. 0 m/s 2. 1.2 m/s 3. 9.8 m/s 4. 11.0 m/s 5. 11.76 m/s Part C: (Notice this is different from part B) A steel ball is dropped from diving platform from rest. Given that g=9.8 m/s^2, how far does it fall in the first 1.2 seconds of its flight ignoring air resistance. 1. 5.880 m 2. 7.056 m 3. 11.760 m 4. 14.112 marrow_forward15. A car travels at a constant velocity of 30 m/s. How long does it take to travel 126 meters? A car starts from rest and accelerates for 10 seconds at 3.5 m/s2. How far does it travel?arrow_forwardYou start out by driving 82 miles north in 4 hours and 36 minutes, and then you stop and park for a while. Finally you drive another 60 miles south in 3 hours and 11 minutes. The average velocity for your entire trip was 2.26 miles per hour to the north. How much time did you spend parked?1 hour 56 minutes 3 hours 53 minutes 0 hours 58 minutes 9 hours 43 minuarrow_forward
- A cheetah can reach a top speed of 112kmh in about 3 seconds starting from rest. a herd of antelope is galloping at 30kmh. A cheetah is hiding in the grass 50m away when an antelope passes. At that instant, the cheetah tries to catch the antelope for dinner, will the cheetah go hungryarrow_forward13. A boy walks 155 m at a speed of 3.5 m/s and then runs for 100 m at 8.2 m/s along a straight line. Calculate his average velocity. 14.A boat can accelerate from 2 to 21 km/h in 10 s. How far has the boat travelled in this time?arrow_forwardA person jogs three complete laps around a 200 m track in a total time of 11 minutes. What is the jogger's average velocity in m/s. 0 m/s 3.7 m/s 21.4 m/s 37 0.91arrow_forward

What is the acceleration of the ball for: When it is thrown When it is caught/lands Magnitude at its highest point? What are the Launch Velocity and velocity of the highest point for the velocity vs time graph? Is this value reasonable?arrow_forwardJulie drives 112 mi to Grandmother's house. On the way to Grandmother's house, Julie drives half the distance at 41 mph and half the distance at 60 mph. On her return trip, she drives half the time at 41 mph and half the time at 60 mph. What is her average speed on the return trip?arrow_forwardA car moves in a straight line with constant acceleration. Starting from rest at t=0 it travels 8m in 4s. What is the speed of the car at t=4s? I got 2m/s but I'm not sure that's right, I would love a step by step.arrow_forward
