A total distance of travel of 1,000 km breaks every 100 km of a pattern of East-South-East-South continuously up to the end. The time of travel was recorded 5 hours.
a. Find the average velocity of the travel.
b. If a helicopter flies from the same origin, what will be its average velocity in an hour travel?
The position of an object as a function of time is given by the equation: x (t)=3t^3 - 4t^2 + 3 (position x is in meters and time t is in seconds)
a.) Determine the object’s speed at time, t = 3 seconds.b.) Determine the object’s acceleration at time, t = 3 seconds.
I also attached a picture of the problem that is easier to read.

The lab is on projectile motion and velocity. I basically threw a ball upwards and recorded its flight on tracker. The two pictures I attached show the vertical velocity by versus time and the horizontal velocity vx versus time. From the velocity vs. time graph(s) determine the acceleration of the ball independently for each component of the motion as a function of time. What is the acceleration of the ball just after it is thrown, and just before it is caught or lands? What is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration at its highest point? Is this value reasonable? Determine the launch velocity of the ball from the velocity vs. time graphs in the x and y directions. Is this value reasonable? Determine the velocity of the ball at its highest point. Is this value reasonable?arrow_forward
