Students have asked these similar questions
a. 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.
A kangaroo can jump over an object 2.7 m high.
a. Calculate its vertical speed when it leaves the ground, in meters per second.
b. How many seconds is it in the air?
