Bacteria move back and forth using their flagella (structures that look like little tails). Speeds of up to 50m/s(50106m/s) have been observed. The total distance traveled by a bacterium is large for its size, whereas its displacement is small. Why is this?
The speed limit on some interstate highways is roughly 100 km/h. (a) What is this in meters per second? (b) How many miles per hour is this?
Tectonic plates are large segments of the Earth's crust that move slowly. Suppose that one such plate has an average speed of 4.0 cm/year. (a) What distance does it move in 1 s at this speed? (b) What is its speed in kilometers per million years?
A student drives a moped along a straight road as described by the velocity-versus-time graph in Figure P2.12. Sketch this graph in the middle of a sheet of graph paper. (a) Directly above your graph, sketch a graph of the position versus time, aligning the time coordinates of the two graphs. (b) Sketch a graph of the acceleration versus time directly below the velocity-versus-time graph, again aligning the time coordinates. On each graph, show the numerical values of x and ax for all points of inflection. (c) What is the acceleration at t = 6.00 s? (d) Find the position (relative to the starting point) at t = 6.00 s. (e) What is the mopeds final position at t = 9.00 s? Figure P2.12
A stone is thrown straight up from the edge of a reof, 675 feet above the ground, at a speed of 18 feet SEOne per second. A. Remembering that the acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet pET second squared, how high is the stone 2 seconds later? Don't forget to enter the correct units. B.At what time does the stone hit the ground C. What is the velocity of the stone when it hits the ground?
Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please break it down so I can understand. I tried to solve it how you guys did it but I keep getting another answer. Thank you!
