V (m/s) 4- t (s) 4 0. a) Draw a motion diagram of the object. Be sure to label your velocity and acceleration vectors. 0. b) What are the position, velocity, and acceleration of the object at t = 3 s? You must show all %3D of your work to get full credit. c) Sketch the object's position-versus-time graph and acceleration-versus-time graph. 2.arrow_forwardIn an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5120 km away, and released. It found its way back to its nest 12.5 days after release. Part A If we place the origin in the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird's average velocity for the return flight? Express your answer in meters per second. ANSWER: Vay.-x = m/s Part B What was the bird's average velocity for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning? Express your answer in meters per second. ANSWER: Vav. = m/sarrow_forward
