The Grand Canyon is 6000 feet deep at the deepest part. A rock is dropped from this height. (The acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet/sec2.)
a. Express the height of the rock as a function of the time (in seconds).
b. How long will it take the rock to hit the canyon floor?
c. With what velocity does the rock hit the canyon floor? With what acceleration?
A student drives a moped along a straight road as described by the velocity–time graph in Figure P2.58. Sketch this graph in the middle of a sheet of graph paper. (a) Directly above your graph, sketch a graph of the position versus time, aligning the time coordinates of the two graphs. (b) Sketch a graph of the acceleration versus time directly below the velocity–time graph, again aligning the time coordinates. On each graph, show the numerical values of x and ax for all points of inflection. (c) What is the acceleration at t = 6.00 s? (d) Find the position (relative to the starting point) at t = 6.00 s. (e) What is the moped’s final position at t = 9.00 s?
When given a velocity vs. time graph, draw the corresponding position vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs. Graphs should include labels (including numerical values and correct units) for both the horizontal and vertical axes. The values don't have to be exactly right, but they should be relatively close. If possible, find the slope and apply it to a real life situation.
