The following graph depicts the velocity of someone playing tag over a short period of time. Use this velocity graph to answer the following questions. The person's maximum magnitude for velocity is 4.5 m/s in both the positive and negative directions. A is at time point 3 seconds, B is at time point 4.5 seconds, C is at time point 5.5 seconds, D is at time point 7 seconds, E is at 8 seconds, F is at 9 seconds and G is at 10 seconds.

- Your favorite car goes zero to 60.0 mph in 5.00 seconds. Assuming it accelerates uniformly, sketch a velocity versus time graph of the motion. To three significant figures, the car travels ________ miles in the 5.00 seconds..arrow_forwardThe velocity as a function of time for a world-class track sprinter in a 100 m race is shown in the figure. The sprinter accelerates for the first 4.0 seconds, and then runs at a constant velocity until the end of the race. What is his average velocity for the first 4.0 s, in meters per second?arrow_forwardA runner and a cyclist compete in a race over a straight course 20 km long. The runner runs at a steady speed of 10 m/s toward the finish line. The cyclist zips at a speed of 23 m/s toward the finish line for 12 km but upon seeing that he is already far ahead of the runner, he decides to stop and wait for the runner to catch up to him. The runner eventually reaches the cyclist and continues moving toward the finish line. The cyclist waits for a while after the runner passes and then cycles toward the finish line again at 23m/s. Both the cyclist and the runner cross the finish line in the exact same instant. Assume both of them, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the runner from the finish line when the cyclist resumes the race? (b) For how long in time was the cyclist stationery?arrow_forward
- A ball is thrown straight down at 1.29 m/s and hits the ground 1.07 seconds later. How many meters did the ball travel before hitting the ground? Type your answer.arrow_forwardI have no clue why this problem is being rejected. I have submitted similar problems and have been answered. Can I please get some help with this. Thank you!arrow_forwardA physics teacher walks 5 km East, 2.5 km South, 5 km West, and finally 2.5 km North. The entire motion lasted for 3 hours. Determine the average speed and the average velocity.arrow_forward
- Shown below is a graph of velocity-versus-time for a moving object. The object starts at position x = 0 m at t = 0 s. What is the final position at t = 4.0 s, in meters?arrow_forwardThe figure shows three graphs, A, B, and C, which collectively describe the motion of an object in one dimension. The horizontal axis of each graph is time (symbol t). The vertical axes of the graphs are different. For one graph the vertical axis is position (symbol x), for another it is velocity (symbol v), and for another it is acceleration (symbol a). Where the axes cross is the point of zero for both time and the quantity corresponding to the vertical axis. Part A: For which sequence of graphs is the vertical coordinate position, velocity, and acceleration, respectively? (e.g., If you think graph Y is position versus time, graph X is velocity versus time, and graph Z is acceleration versus time, then your answer is Y, X, Z.). Multiple choice: 1)C, A, B 2)A, C, B 3)C, B, A 4)B, C, A 5)B, A, C 6)A, B, C. Part (b) Which one of the following situations can be most accurately represented by the graphs, consistent with your answer to part (a)?

- Figure below shows the position of a cart moves along the x-axis. What is the object's velocity at 2.0 s, in m/s? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. x (m) 2 1 A K 0 T -1 -2 B 2 4 6 8 10 C D 12 14 X6 E 18 -t (s)arrow_forwardThe figure shows an acceleration- time graph of a particle with a starting velocity at 60 m/s and the distance travelled is 200 meters at 10 seconds.
