Given a motion diagram. For the problem, write a one or two sentence “story” about a real object that has this motion diagram. Your stories should talk about people or objects by name and say what they are doing.
A ball is dropped from the roof of a tall building and students in a physics class are asked to sketch a motion diagram for this situation. A student submits the diagram shown. Is the diagram correct? Explain.
You are driving your car with a velocity of 60.0 km/h on a straight road. At t=0 s, you slow down your car to 30.0 km/h in 6.00 sec. You proceed with this constant velocity for 100. m and then speed up to 60.0 km/h at a rate of 2.80 m/s2.
a) Draw a motion diagram for the whole trip and label it with known quantities
b) Summarize all the known and unknown quantities for all three sections of this trip
c) Calculate the total time elapsed until the car reaches the speed of 60 km/h
Show all work step by step clearly and use correct formula. State the formula used.
