- 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?

(a) Draw a coordinate system for this situation and label the relevant quantities, including vectors, (b) For the given information, what single equation is most appropriate for finding the acceleration? (c) Solve the equation selected in part (b) symbolically for the boats acceleration in terms of vf, vi, and x. (d) Substitute given values, obtaining that acceleration, (e) Find the time it takes the boat to travel the given distance.arrow_forwardA stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 17.6 m/sm/s from the edge of a cliff 75.0 mm high. A.)How much later does it reach the bottom of the cliff? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. B.)What is its speed just before hitting? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. C.)What total distance did it travel? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forward
- 1. Speed is directly proportional to the length of time travel. TRUE OR FALSE 2. In a simulation activity, when a man is moving towards the house, the position versus time graph that you observed is a straight line sloping upward. TRUE OR FALSE 3. In a simulation activity, when a man is moving towards his initial position from the house, the position versus time graph that you observed is a straight line sloping downward. TRUE OR FALSE 4. The average speed is the same as the instantaneous speed when traveling at constant speed. TRUE OR FALSE 5. In free fall motion, the velocity versus time graph is a straight line sloping upward. TRUE OF FALSE 6. The higher the object dropped, the larger its acceleration. TRUE OR FALSE 7. The slope of velocity versus time graph in free fall motion corresponds to acceleration of a falling body. TRUE OR FALSEarrow_forwardLet's Apply Part I.

From the acceleration vs. time graph that you have made in part 1, find the velocity for the time interval. 8s > t>14 s.arrow_forwardSuppose a rock is launched from the ground straight upward (use up as the positive direction) and reaches its maximum height in a time of 3.0 s. Then the rock descends back to the ground. (To simplify your numbers, you may use |g| = 10 m/s².) Find the following: a. The maximum height reached above the ground. b. The velocity of the rock at the time t = 4.5 s.arrow_forward

Time Time Time Time Which velocity graph shows the car moving toward the left (toward the origin) at a steady (constant) velocity?arrow_forwardProblem 1: The Tesla Model S P85 electric car accelerates from 0 to 30 mph in 1.4 s, 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 s and 0 to 110 mph in 12.1 s. Estimate how far from the start (in meters) the car is at t=12.1 s. You are given limited information about the motion of the car, so you will need to make some reasonable assumption about how it accelerates. Describe what assumption you used to solve the problem. Problem 2: The Tesla Model S P85 electric car stops from 60 mph over a distance of 118 feet. Find the average deceleration of the car? Express it in multiples of the acceleration due to gravity, g. Compare it to the average acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in problem 1. Which one is greater, by magnitude?arrow_forwardPart A If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.370 m, what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?
