Concept explainers
Problems 49 through 52 show a partial motion diagram. For each:
a. Complete the motion diagram by adding acceleration vectors.
b. Write a physics problem for which this is the correct motion diagram. Be imaginative! Don’t forget to include enough information to make the problem complete and to state clearly what is to be found.
c. Draw a pictorial representation for your problem.

- Acceleration a has the dimensions of length per time squared, speed v has the dimensions of length per time, and radius r has the dimension of length. Which of the following expressions may be correct? Explain your answer in each case. a. a = vr b. a = v/r c. a = v2/r d. a = v/r2arrow_forwardP1. 19. An automobile travels 9 km due north, then 6 km northwest. Determine the resultant displacement of the automobile. Select one: a. 10.82 km O b. 3 km O c. 15 km O d. 6.71 kmarrow_forwarda. The position of an object is given by x(t) = A + B*t + C*t³ (yes, those exponents are intentional, this is NOT constant acceleration). Provided that x is measured in meters and t in seconds, what must be the units for the constants A, B, and C. b. Another position function is given by y(t) = D # E*t1 + F*t3/2). What are its velocity, and acceleration functions with time? c. Bonus: choose and declare your values for D, E and F, and make graphs of y(t), vy(t), and a,(t). Don't forget appropriate units at each step.arrow_forward

Estimate the acceleration 0? d. Estimate the deceleration after 1 minute.arrow_forward1. Jack drives a distance of 160 miles at an average speed of 35 miles/hr, followed by a distance of 190 miles at 75 miles/hr. What is his average speed over the 350-mile trip? Hint: Draw a labeled sketch of the trip. V avg miles per hourarrow_forward
- Helparrow_forwardA pleasearrow_forward1. A sprinter at a track and Field event is entered in a 500 m race. The starting gun goes off, accelerating every step of the way, he runs the distance of 63.50 seconds. What is the acceleration of the sprinter in units of meters per second squared? How fast is he going as he crosses the finish line in units of meters per second? write the general form of the equation you are going use. list all given values, units, and variables they represent. solve the equation.arrow_forward
