Question
Figure P2.43 represents part of the performance data of a car owned by a proud physics student, (a) Calculate the total distance traveled by computing the area under the redbrown graph line, (b) What distance does the car travel between the times t = 10 s and t = 40 s? (c) Draw a graph of its acceleration versus time between t = 0 and t = 50 s. (d) Write an
equation for x as a function of time for each phase of the motion, represented by the segments 0a, ab, and bc. (e) What is the average velocity of the car between t = 0 and t = 50 s?

- A car starts from 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 4.00 m/s2 for 6.0 s, it coasts for 5.00 s, and then slows down at a rate of 2.00 m/s2to a stop. How far has it traveled, in meters? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardWhat is the unit for acceleration? A race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds. Determine the acceleration of the car. A blue beetle starts from rest and in 4.5 seconds is flying 2.2 m/s. What is the acceleration of this insect?arrow_forwardHere, you derive the formula. At t = 0, a car is going v0 and is x0 from the start of the road. The driver accelerates the car at a until time t.

- A soccer ball starts from rest and accelerates with an acceleration of 0.385 m/s2 while moving down a 8.50 m long inclined plane. When it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where, after moving 14.75 m, it comes to rest. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first plane (in m/s)? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) m/s (b) How long does it take to roll down the first plane (in s)?

(a) Neglecting air resistance, how fast is the object traveling when it strikes the ground at the end of 3.9 s? First used standard British units and then express the speed in mi/h for a familiar comparison. (ft/s and mi/h) (b) How far, in meters, does the object fall during the 3.9 s? Comment on how many floors the dormitory probably has. (Assume that there are 32 floors/100 m.)arrow_forward
- A car accelerates at a constant rate from rest to 16 m/s in a distance of 74 m. What is the magnitude of its acceleration, in m/s2? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive.

A driver finds an empty, flat stretch of desert that is 1776 meters long and decides to push the limits of his car. He finds the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (26.8 m/s) in 4.30 s. Now he wants to see how fast the car can go. Assume the car maintains the same average acceleration until it reaches its top speed of 84.8 m/s.
