- Problem-Solving Technique: Draw a labeled picture. Put a coordinate system on the picture indicating the location of the origin and the positive direction. Show the solution in a step-by-step orderly fashion. Write any equation you use in symbolic form before substituting in numbers. 1. Ann is traveling at 30 m/s (80 mi/hr) west when she passes a police car. She immediately begins slowing down at a rate of 2.5 m/s for 4 seconds. How far has she traveled for this time? a. Fill in the information that is given in the problem. Put a question mark for any quantity that is not given in the problem. Vox = v. = b. Determine the distance she traveled in this time. Start with the equation in sy numbers you used including units. olic form and show thearrow_forwardWhat is the acceleration (in units of feet per second squared) of a car that goes from 15 mph to 75 mph in a 10.0 second time period? How far does the car travel during that acceleration in units of feet? Identify the quantity(variable) you are solving for. make a simple sketch to represent the data given. Make a list of all given values, units, and the variables they represent. Write the general form of the equation you are going to use. Solve the equation.arrow_forwardGeorge walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his velocity in meters per second? Also, is the acceleration due to gravity negative or positive or it depends? I'm really confused.
