Chapter 1, Problem 3EAP
You are watching a jet ski race. A racer speeds up from rest to 70 mph in just a few seconds, then continues at a constant speed. Draw a basic motion diagram of the jet ski, using images from the video, from 10 s before reaching top speed until 10 s afterward.

A polar bear starts at the North Pole. It travels 1.0 km south, then 1.0 km east, and then 1.0 km north to return to its starting point. This trip takes 45 min. What was the bear's average speed and velocity?
A man rides a bike along a straight road for 5 min, then has a flat tire. He stops for 5 min to repair the flat, but can’t fix it. He walks the rest of the way, which takes him another 10 min. Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram of the man for the entire motion described here. Number the dots in order, starting with zero.

- An elevator in a high-rise building goes up and down at the same speed. Starting at the ground floor, Rafael and Monica ride up five floors, a vertical rise of 20 m. The elevator stops for 10 s as Monica gets off. Rafael then goes back down two floors. Rafael’s entire trip takes 24 s. Taking the origin to be at the ground floor, draw position-versus-time and velocityversus- time graphs for Rafael’s trip.arrow_forwardI have no clue why this problem is being rejected.

- An object moves in one dimensional motion with constant acceleration a = 7.4 m/s². At time t = 0 s, the object is at x = 3.2 m and has an initial velocity of vo = 4 m/s. How far will the object move before it achieves a velocity of v = 6.6 m/s? Your answer should be accurate to the nearest 0.1 m.arrow_forwardA frog fell down an abandoned Well which was 15 meters deep. He found it difficult to jump up the coated walls. He started his long jump up the Well at 6am. It took him him 15 minutes to jump three meters because the walls were so slippery. At the end of every 15 minute period he rested for 5 minutes while he sadly slipped down one meter. He continued on at the same rate. At what time did he finally reach the top of the Well?

During segment 1, the motorcycle starts from rest, has an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2, and has a displacement of 1200 m. Immediately after segment 1, the motorcycle enters segment 2 and begins slowing down with an acceleration of 0.6 m/s2 until its velocity is 12 m/s. What is the displacement (in meters ) of the motorcycle during segment 2?arrow_forwardI looked at the motion diagram and thought it was representing an object accelerating to the right and getting faster. I thought A and B were right, but my first thought was that C looked like it could be moving to the right and slowing down, could you explain why this is wrong? I tend to get these types of questions wrong.arrow_forward
