- Peacock mantis shrimps (Odontodactylus scyllarus) feed largely on snails.

(a) Obtain an expression for a(t). (b) Draw graphs for v(t) and a(t) for the time interval 0 to 2.0 s. (c) Obtain an expression for x(t), choosing the positive x axis as downward, and draw the graph for this func- tion.

The average of 30.0 mi>h and 50.0 mi>h is 40.0 mi>h, and hence this is the average speed for the trip.II. You go farther during the 50.0 mi>h part of the trip, and hence your average speed is greater than 40.0 mi>h.III. You spend more time during your trip traveling at 30.0 mi>h, and hence your average speed is less than 40.0 mi>h.arrow_forward

The rock misses the building on its way down, and is observed to strike the ground 4.00 seconds after being thrown. With what speed was the rock thrown? Neglect any effects of air resistance.
