Concept explainers
Problems 39 through 45 are motion problems similar to those you will learn to solve in Chapter 2. For now, simply interpret the problem by drawing a motion diagram showing the object's position and its velocity vectors. Do not solve these problems or do any mathematics.
41. Sam is recklessly driving 60 mph in a 30 mph speed zone when he suddenly sees the police. He steps on the brakes and slows to 30 mph in three seconds, looking nonchalant as he passes the officer. How far does he travel while braking?

- 3. Use the graph to answer the following questions. a. What physical quantity is represented by the Graph B Velocity vs. Time slope of the graph? 7 b. What physical quantity is represented by the 6 y-intercept of the graph? c. What physical quantity is represented by the area 5 under the graph? d. Find the area under the graph. 1 1 3 4 6 7 Time (sec) v (m/s) 4. onsid the following v vs. t graph a. What is the acceleration at: i. t = 11 s? ii. t = 15 s? b. How far, and in which direction, did the object travel: i. from t = 4 to t = 11 s? (sec) ip ii. from t = 13 tot = 18 s? c. During what time intervals is the object speeding up? slowing down? d. During what time intervals is the acceleration positive? Negative? Zero? Velocity (m/s)arrow_forwardProblem-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_forwardHi thank you for that solution. In an exam would I be given those formulas or do I need to know them for myself?arrow_forward

From Camp 4 to the peak is 900 meter east, 200 meter south, and 200 meter up. a. What is the displacement from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? Give distances east/west, north/south and up/down from Camp 3 to the peak. b. What is the straight-line distance from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? The straight-line distance is the distance if you drew a straight line from Camp 3 to Mt. Everest.arrow_forwardProvide an explanation on outlining the underlying physics principle and using correct terminologies. In answering these problems, apply appropriate formulae, principles, and equations. A. Can an object have a constant speed but varying velocity ?arrow_forward
