Explain why we only consider one dimensional motion when using a single motion sensor. Based on the definition of velocity, describe what you should observe in the velocity vs. time graph if you were measuring a stationary, distant object and you suddenly slid and object into the beam from the side [hint: think about the behavior of the position graph in this case.]

Make the proper representation for each of the following problems and solve
completely.
1. A euglena swims with a speed of 3.5 µm/s, and swim across the ends of
the diameter of an 8.0 cm petri dish. Find the time it takes to swim across
the ends of the petri dish.
2. A dog runs 100m away from its master in a straight line in 9.0s, and then
runs halfway back in one-third the time. Compute a) its average speed
and b) its average velocity.
3. A jeepney starts from rest and moves with an acceleration of 0.5 m/s² until
it reaches the velocity 5 m/s, runs at this speed for a time, then applies the
break to decelerate at 1.0 m/s² until it stops in 30 seconds. What is the
total displacement of the jeepney?

Thank you very much.arrow_forwardBy looking Figure 1, how can we say about velocity change with respect to time for every point (a, b, c, d, e)? Which point has the biggest instantaneous velocity? You should show the reason why you are using any parameter in the calculations.arrow_forwardQUESTION 1 Supply what is asked with the correct integer values, i.e. no decimal places. Do not forget the negative sign (-) if needed. The position vs. time graph of a moving particle for a time interval of 23 seconds is shown below. Each square unit in the horizontal axis corresponds to one second, and each square unit in the vertical axis corresponds to one meter. 10 position (m) 10 20 time (e) What is the displacement of the particle for the entire 23 seconds? Ax = m What is the distance traveled by the particle for the entire 23 seconds? m What is the average speed of the particle from t = 0s to t = 5 s? m/s What is the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t = 11 s? m/s What is the average velocity of the particle from t = 17 s to t = 18 s? m/sarrow_forward
- Write the actual function that you expect the velocity to obey as a function of time (recall that the initial velocity was 17 m/s). Your function should be a function of time (i.e. the t variable should be left as an independent variable) but all other values should be filled in with numbers. Based on your answer above, what type of curve would you expect the position vs. time function to obey? i.A constant (horizontal) curve? ii.A linear curve? iii.A quadratic (parabolic) curve? iv.Another type of curve, such as cubic, exponential, sine, square root, etc...? Circle an answer from above and explain how you use your answer to the above question and the relationship between position and velocity to arrive at your conclusion.arrow_forwardA person initially at rest accelerates at a constant rate for specific amount of time. A motion detector tracks the person's displacement vs time. If you wanted to know how fast the person was traveling at an exact point in time, you could find the...

- Could you find the average velocity for the entire graph. When looking the the graph what ever value it is closest to use that. For example at the coordinates- ( 7,4.5)Also note the x axis the in seconds. I would like to know the enitre average velocity for this graph. When I do it I am getting the entire average velocity as 0.08333ms/s. I am just dividing the displacement of 2 metres over 24 seconds to get the velocity.arrow_forwardA physics student records the data in the table below during a 1-D motion experiment with constant acceleration. Unfortunately he forgets to properly label the table before emailing it to his lab partners for analysis. As a result, they have to use their knowledge of kinematics to figure out how the table is organized and what the rows and columns represent. Use your knowledge of kinematics to select the correct answer below. Assume that all units are SI (meters, seconds, meters/second, etc) even though they are not shown. 7.000 0.00 3.0 7.031 0.01 3.1 7.062 0.02 3.2 7.095 0.03 3.3 7.128 0.04 3.4 The initial position is 7.0 meters The initial speed is 0.0 meters/second The initial time is 3.0 seconds The acceleration is 10 meters/second^2arrow_forwardLet your character move in a constant acceleration (a + b / 2, -a-b) along the (a,b) direction with a velocity of (a+b, a-b).
