Figure below shows the position of a cart moves along the x-axis. What is the object's velocity at 2.0 s, in m/s? 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. x (m) 2 1 A K 0 T -1 -2 B 2 4 6 8 10 C D 12 14 X6 E 18 -t (s)
Starting from rest, a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5.2 m/s2 for a total of 5 seconds. Compute the velocity of the car at 1 s, 2 s, 3 s, 4 s, and 5 s. The values of velocity at 1 s, 2 s, 3 s, 4 s, and 5 s are ____m/s, ___m/s, ___m/s, ___m/s, and ___m/s, respectively.
In coming to a stop, a car leaves skid marks 79 m long on the highway. Assuming a deceleration of 4.20 m/s. estimate the speed of the car just before braking. Express your answer using two significant figures. V= ??? m/s
If an average-size man jumps from an airplane with an open parachute, his downward velocity t seconds into the fall is v(t) = 20(10.2) feet per second. (a) Use functional notation to express the velocity 3 seconds into the fall. Calculate it. ft per sec (b) Explain how the velocity increases with time. Include in your explanation the average rate of change from the beginning of the fall to the end of the first second and the average rate of " change from the fourth second to the fifth second of the fall. This answer has not been graded yet. (c)-Find the terminal velocity. ft per sec (d) Compare the time it takes to reach 99% of terminal velocity here with the 25 seconds it took a skydiver with his parachute closed to reach 99% of terminal velocity in Example 2.1. On the basis of the information we have, which would you expect to reach 99% of terminal velocity first, O feather feather or a cannonball? O cannonball Need Help? Read It

1) A race car travels around a circular race track for which the start line and finish line are at the same location. If the race is 888km long and the radius of the track is 1.414km, how many times did the car go around the track? The race takes 2 hours and 45 minutes, what is the race car’s average velocity (in m/s) over the entire race? What is the race car’s average speed (in m/s) over the entire race?
