A particle's position is given by × = 14.0 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) What is its velocity at t = 1s? (b) Is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) What is its speed just then? (d) Is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (Try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) Is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? If so, give the time t; if not, answer "O". (f) Is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? If so, give thetime t; if not, answer "O".

- When a train is traveling along a straight track at 2m/s, it begins to accelerate at a = (60v-4) m/s, where v is in m/s. Determine its velocity v and the position 3 sec after the acceleration.arrow_forwardA particle moves along the x-axis according to x(t) = 42t – 6t2 m. (Round all answers to at least the nearest integer.) (a) What is the instantaneous velocity (in m/s) at t = 2 s and t = 5 s? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) v(2 s) = m/s v(5 s) = m/s (b) What is the instantaneous speed (in m/s) at these times? s(2 s) m/s s(5 s) m/s (c) What is the average velocity (in m/s) between t = 2 s and t = 5 s? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/sarrow_forward(a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 35 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.84 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.84 s after kicking the rock? m/s Need Help?

- In a room, a boy throws a ball up. (a) Will the ball hit the bulb in the ceiling, 4 meters above the floor, if it leaves the boy's hand at 9.0 m/s? Justify your answer. (b) If your answer in (a) is yes, how much time does it take the ball to reach the ceiling? If your answer in (a) is no, how much time does it take the boy to catch the ball? Ignore air friction.arrow_forwardAn object is launched at 9.8 meters per second (m/s) from a 171.5-meter tall platform. The function that represents the object's height s at time t seconds after launch is s(t) = −4.9t2 + 9.8t + 171.5, where s is in meters. When does the object strike the ground?arrow_forwardA rodeo horse is running around a corral at a speed of 300 ft/s. Let x(t) be the distance of the horse from the third barrel and y(t) his distance from the fourth. (see figure; note that the distance between barrels is 900 řt). At what rate is the horse's distance from the fourth barrel changing at the instant when he is 200 ft from the third? 2 1 3 4arrow_forward
- Suppose a migrating bird flies at a constant altitude of 5 km, with a velocity of 42 km/h. At time t = 0 the bird passes directly above a radar station, where t is measured in hours. (a) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing after 10 minutes? Round your final answer to 2 decimal places and provide units. (b) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing at time t = 0, i.e. when the bird is directly above the radar station? Is this reasonable? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardMake a motion chart for a cannonball launched with an initial speed of 20m/s. Neglect drag and the initial height of the cannonball. After the ball lands on the ground enter zero for all speeds and heights if necessary. Use regular metric units (ie. meters). Round all speeds to nearest whole number, if necessary. |a| = 10 m/s? t |v| m/s m 20 10 15 10 20 15.9 4 20 1.6 5 direction of motion at 3s: downarrow_forwardIXFQP A police car traveling 95.0 km/h is traveling west, chasing a motorist traveling at 80.0 km/h.
