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.
43. The giant eland, an African antelope, is an exceptional jumper, able to leap 1.5 m off the ground. To jump this high, with what speed must the eland leave the ground?

- A person going for a walk follows the path shown in Figure P3.35. The total trip consists of four straight-line paths. At the end of the walk, what is the persons resultant displacement measured from the starting point? Figure P3.35arrow_forward1."An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20m/s2 for 32.8s until it finally lifts off the ground. how long is the said runway? how long is the said runway?" From the problem, what is the most appropriate equation to be used? 2.Which describe the velocity of an object upward? a.The object moves in constant velocity for one meter b.The object adds one meter per second squared in its velocity every second c.The object changes its velocity to one meter per second at its highest point d.The object adds one meter per second in its velocity every second 3. which tells how fast an object is moving? a.30km at 40 northeast b.60 miles per hour in 4 hr c. 30 meters per second d. 30 meter per second squaredarrow_forward1. The boy walk 76 km east and run in the direction of 12 km north in 40 second. a. What is the boy's distance? b. What is the boy's displacement? c. What is the boy's speed? Formula speed distance/time d. What is the boy's velocity? Formula velocity displacement/timearrow_forward
- The motion of a person as seen by another person is described by the equation v=-3.0m/s+0.5m/s^2t. Draw a motion diagram. draw a motion potion vs time graph draw a motion velocity versus time graph draw a acceleration vs time graph say everything you can about this motion and what happens to the person when his speed becomes zero.arrow_forwardHi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please break it down so I can understand. I tried to solve it how you guys did it but I keep getting another answer. Thank you!arrow_forwardAlex goes cruising on his dirtbike. He rides 7 km north, 3 km east, 4 km north, 6 km west, 12 km south, 3 km east, and finally 1 km north. What is Alex's displacement? A. 12 km B. 0 kmarrow_forward
- A car goes 78 m to the righty and then 22 m to the left. It makes this trip on 35 seconds. a. What is the displacement in meters? b. What is the total distance travelled in meters? c. What is the average velocity? d. What is the average speed in m/s?arrow_forwardI looked at the motion diagram and thought it was representing an object accelerating to the right and getting faster. I thought A and B were right, but my first thought was that C looked like it could be moving to the right and slowing down, could you explain why this is wrong? I tend to get these types of questions wrong.arrow_forwardA motorist drives north for 32.0 minutes at 80.5 km/h and then stops for 15.0 minutes. He then continues north, traveling 130 km in 1.80 h. (a) What is his total displacement?arrow_forward
- Hi, can you help me with my homework please? The particle flies from the origin of the coordinate system with an initial velocity of 3.0i ms-1 and moves with constant acceleration a = (-1.0i-0.5 j)m·s-2 what is a speed of the particle at the moment when its x-coordinate takes on the greatest value? what is position of the particle at that moment? Thank Youarrow_forwardIn kinematics it may be necessary to analyze a situation in which particles do not exhibit regular displacement throughout their movement, so that we cannot use just a mathematical equation to describe their velocity, acceleration and displacement. In cases like these, we use graphs to represent the motion of a particle, since the fundamental equations of speed and acceleration have geometric relationships with the graphs that represent them. Regarding the graphs of acceleration as a function of time, position as a function of time and speed as a function of time, it can be stated that: Choose one:a. The difference between velocities v2 and v1 is numerically equal to the area under the position curve between time t1 and t2, and therefore can be calculated by the derivative: v2-v1 = dS / dt. The difference between the accelerations a1 and a2 is numerically equal to the area under the velocity curve between the time t1 and t2 and can be calculated by the derivative: a2-a1 = dv / dt.B.…arrow_forwardIn kinematics it may be necessary to analyze a situation in which particles do not exhibit regular displacement throughout their movement, so that we cannot use just a mathematical equation to describe their velocity, acceleration and displacement.
