Question
You are an observer on the ground. (a) Draw two motion diagrams representing
the motions of two runners moving at the same constant speeds in opposite
directions toward you. Runner 1, coming from the east, reaches you in 5 s, and
runner 2 reaches you in 3 s. (b) draw a motion diagram for runner 2 as seen by
runner 1. Explain your work.

Draw a qualitative motion diagram (including both velocity and acceleration vectors) for the following objects in the following situations: Be sure to show the vector subtraction that supports how you got your acceleration vectors. a) Viewed from above, a car traveling around a traffic circle having radius R at constant speed. b) A person in a perfectly circular roller coaster loop-de loop having radius R. (Note: higher speed at the bottom of the loop than the top)arrow_forward1. 3.A helicopter blade spins at exactly 100 revolutions per minute. Its tip is 5.00 m from the center of rotation. (a) Calculate the average speed of the blade tip in the helicopter's frame of reference. (b) What is its average velocity over one revolution? 2. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. Given this information, is acceleration a vector or a scalar quantity? Explain. 3. A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s? (b) If she then brakes to a stop in 0.800 s, what is her decelerationarrow_forward
- A cat walks in a straight line, which we shall call the -axis, with the positive direction to the right. As an observant physicist, you make measurements of this cat's motion and construct a graph of the feline's velocity as a function of time (Figure 1). I. Calculate the area under the graph between t = 0 and t = 6.0 s. (Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.) II. For the time interval t = 0 to t = 6.0 s, what is the magnitude of the average velocity of the cat? (Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.) III. Use constant-acceleration equations to calculate the distance the cat travels in this time interval. (Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.)arrow_forwardGrey Maxi... Home Hurry,... Current Time: 10:05:02 PM general.physics.rutgers.edu R List by Da...

Consider the following three displacement vectors: Vector A has a magnitude of 3.80 km and a direction that makes an angle of 36.0° south of west, vector B has a magnitude of 6.50 km and a direction that makes an angle of 15.0° north of west, vector C has a magnitude of 3.50 km and a direction that makes an angle of 37.0° north of east. Determine the magnitude of the vector X = B+C - A km 5. Two cars are traveling along a straight road. Car (A) maintains a constant speed of 88.0 km/h; car (B) maintains a constant speed of 115 km/h. At t = 0, car (B) is 49.0 km behind car A. How far will car (A) travel from t = 0 before it is overtaken by car (B)? 1 6arrow_forwardPlease explain with words.arrow_forward
