A softball player slides into second base. Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram of the player from the time he begins to slide until he reaches the base. Number the dots in order, starting with zero.
To draw: The motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is drawn.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
A softball player slides into second base.
Explanation:
The velocity of softball player will be in the initial stage is zero and as he slides and moves slower and slower till he rest at the base and corresponding the travelling distance becomes smaller and smaller till he stops.
The motion diagram of the softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is shown in Figure 1.
Conclusion:
Hence, the motion diagram, using the particle model of a softball player from the time he begins to slide till he reaches the base is drawn.

- Consider a map oriented so that the x-axis runs east-west (with east being the "positive" direction) and y runs north-south (with north "positive"). A person drives 28 km to the north, turns and drives 73 km to the east, and then turns north and drives for an unknown distance z. If his final position is 97 km from where he started, find z. kmarrow_forwardOlivia's trip to a coffee shop. She gets on her bike at Loomis and then rides south 0.9mimi to Broadway. She turns east onto Broadway, rides 0.8 mimi to where Broadway turns, and then continues another 1.2mimi to the shop. What is the magnitude of the total displacement of her trip What is the direction of the total displacement of her trip?arrow_forwardis Vectors are represented by arrows. The length of the arrows indicate the magnitude of the vector, and the arrowhead points to the direction of the vector. In our example, the displacement is drawn at a scale: 1 cm = 10 cm, directed to the east. ne EXERCISES 1. A group of mountain climbers walked 10 km north from their camp, then walked 20 km more to the east. a. What was the total distance walked by the mountain climbers? b. Determine the total displacement from the starting point. 2. I walked 1 km N, 2 km E, 3 km S, and then 4 km W. What is the total distance I traveled? What is my total displacement? The speed of an object is a measure of how fast it moves. If the object is moving from on position to another in a measured time, its average speed v is obtained by dividing the distan traveled by the time taken to cover the distance.

While you are in your cabin, you both decided to hike and visit the lake several kilometers away. Since there is two possible hiking course, you both decided that you take path 1 while your friend will try path 2. The total distance for path 1 is 7.5 km while path 2 is 8.2 km. What is the final displacement of each camper?arrow_forwardYou drive 7.50 km in a straight line in a direction 25° East of North. a. Find the distances (in km) you would have to drive straight East and then straight North to arrive at the same point. (This is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the East and North directions.) b. Show that you still arrive at the same point if the East and North legs are reversed in order.arrow_forward
