At a soccer practice, the players run sprints. They start at the goal, run 10 m toward the center of the field and then run back to the goal. Then they run 20 m toward the center of the field and back to the goal. Finally they run 30 m toward the center of the field, turn around, and run back to the goal again. One player times herself to try and beat her personal best time. She runs the first 10 m in 2.5 s and gets back to the goal in 2.8 s. Then she runs the 20-m sprint in 5.7 s and gets back to the goal in 6.7 s. She runs the final 30-m sprint in 12 s and gets back to the goal in 15 s. Define the positive direction as forward, toward the center of the field and consider what a position versus time graph of her motion would look like. Rank the sprints according to their slopes on the position versus time graph, from steepest positive slope to steepest negative slope. Rank from steepest positive slope to steepest negative slope. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Q2. a) For the displacement equation, s = t2 +t-5, find the velocity and acceleration equations and plot each equation for the first 5 seconds. b) Compute your average velocity in the following two cases: (a) You walk 73.2 m at a speed of 1.22 m/s and then run 73.2 m at a speed of 3.05 m/s along a straight track. (b) You walk for 1.00 min at a speed of 1.22 m/s and then run for 1.00 min at 3.05 m/s along a straight track. (c) Graph x versus I for both cases and indicate how the average velocity is found on the graph.
Current Attempt in Progress A Boeing 747 "Jumbo Jet" has a length of 59.7 m. The runway on which the plane lands intersects another runway. The width of the intersection is 24.9 m. The plane decelerates through the intersection at a rate of 6.18 m/s2 and clears it with a final speed of 42.1 m/s. How much time is needed for the plane to clear the intersection?

A test car starts from rest on a horizontal circular track of 65-m radius and increases its speed at a uniform rate to reach 120 km/h in 13 seconds. Determine the magnitude a of the total acceleration of the car 10 seconds after the start. 65 m Answer: a = i m/s²
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. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
A physics student at a track meet has a radar gun which she can use to measure the speeds of the runners. Shortly after the start of one race she measures that the speed of a runner is 1.57 m/s. When the runner is 11.2 meters farther along the track, she measures the runner’s speed to be 7.87 m/s. Determine the runner’s acceleration during this interval (assuming the runner’s acceleration is constant)?
A car starts from rest, then accelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 57 m. It then immediately decelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 113 m. The entire trip lasts a total duration of 27.5 s. What were the magnitudes of the car s accelerations for the speedup and slowdown stages respectively? The car comes to a complete stop at the end of the braking phase. a. 4.11 m/s^2, then 2.07 m/s^2 b. 1.34 m/s^2, then 0.68 m/s^2 c. 2.07 m/s^2, then 4.11 m/s^2 d. 0.45 m/s^2, then 0.45 m/s^2
Q1) The position of a particle traveling along a straight line is s(t) = (t²-3t²+C) ft, where tis in seconds and C is a constant. If s = 4 ft when t= 0, determine the velocity of the particle when t =4 s. What is the total distance traveled during the time interval t = 0 to t = 4 s? Also, what is the acceleration when t = 2 s?

A motorcycle officer hidden at an intersection observes a car driven by an oblivious driver who ignores a stop sign and continues through the intersection at a constant speed. The police officer takes off in pursuit 2.0s after the car has passed the stop sign. She accelerates at 4.2 m/s^2 until her speed is 110 km/h until she catches the car. The car is 1.4 km from the intersection. a) How long did it take for the officer to catch the car? b) How fast was the car traveling?
