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
- 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?arrow_forwardGiven 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.arrow_forwardAn ant travels 3.95 inches due east, then turns and travels an additional 3.35 inches south. The ant walked east for 2.25 minutes and south for 3.15 minutes. a) What is the ant's average speed over the entire trip in the given units? O 1.35 inches/minute O 1.76 inches/minute O1.06 inches/minute O 2.32 inches/minute O 3.24 inches/minute b) What is the ant's average speed over the entire trip in Sl units? 3,190 m/s 2.06 m/s O 0.000572 m/sarrow_forward
