Question
Two objects, A and B, are moving along two different straight lines at constant speeds. With reference to a particular coordinate system in which distance is measured in metres, the position of A at time t (in minutes) is (2t − 1, 3t + 3), and the position of B is (5t − 2, 2t + 5).
Find the equation of the line that A moves along.

When it is at point “A” (xA = 2m; yA = 1.6m), the velocity of the marble v = 8m/s and the tangental acceleration due to gravity is dv / dt = 4ms2.

Very near and parallel to the track is a wall that slopes upward at a 12° angle with the horizontal. As you face the window (0.777 m high, 2.26 m wide) in your compartment, the train is moving to the left, as the drawing indicates. The top edge of the wall first appears at window corner A and eventually disappears at window corner B. How much time, in seconds, passes between appearance and disappearance of the upper edge of the wall? A B A 3.0 m/s 12⁰ Barrow_forward

Alice rides the Ferris Wheel (47.75 meters in diameter), but Bruce decides simply to watch. Chad and Dave are riding the monorail that passes along a straight track just below the Ferris Wheel's bottom. The monorail moves at a constant speed of 9 m/s. The first time that Alice passes Bruce (who is standing right next to Alice but on the ground), Alice and Bruce look at their watches, and Chad (who happens to be passing under Alice's seat on the Ferris Wheel at that instant) looks at the clock on her seat's fancy electronic display. This is event A. When Alice passes Bruce the next time (call this event B), Alice and Bruce again look at their watches, and Dave, who happens to be passing under Alice's position at just that instant, looks at his display (which we assume is synchronized with Chad's display). Everyone determines the time interval that they measure between these momentous events (Chad and Dave by…arrow_forward
