2. The position of a drone as a function of time is given by *(t) = ( 8 i + 1.5 k) + (-3 î + 2 j) t – 0.5 t2 j The units are missing in the constant coefficients above, i.e., "0.5" should be "0.5 m/s2". Include the correct units on all the constant coefficients in your answers below. a. What is the x-position of the drone as a function of time? b. What is the y-position of the drone as a function of time? c. How far away is the drone from its starting position at t = 3s? d. What is the acceleration vector? е. What is the velocity vector as a function of time? (One way to do this is to take the time derivative of the position vector.) f. Make a sketch of the x, y, and z positions of the drone as function of time. You just need the general shape. time time time

6. A train is moving with a constant speed. The train moves 60 meters for every 1.5 seconds that elapses. a. Assume that we get 40 by dividing 60 by 1.5. What is the name that is commonly given to a quantity represented by this number 40? b. To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides the number 40? c. How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? Your answer should mention distance and time. d. Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the distance the train moves in 2.5 seconds.
You measure the motion of a dynamics cart using a motion sensor. You then plot the cart’s position vs. time and velocity vs. time. The best way of finding the average acceleration of the cart is to find: a. the y-intercept of the position vs. time plot. b. the y-intercept of the velocity vs. time plot. c. the slope of the position vs. time plot d. the slope of the velocity vs. time plot. e. none of the above
I PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS 1. One of the timing devices Galileo used was his pulse. Drop a rubber ball from a height of about 2 m and try to determine how many pulse beats elapsed before it hits the ground. What was the timing problem that Galileo encountered? 2. Now measure the time it takes for the rubber ball to fall 2 m, using a watch or clock with a second hand or seconds display. Did the results improve substantially? 3. Roll the hard ball down an incline that makes an angle of about 10° with the horizontal. First use your pulse and then your watch or clock to measure the time of descent. 4. Do you think that during Galileo's day it was possible to get useful data for any of these experiments? Why?
