- When given a velocity vs. time graph, draw the corresponding position vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs. Graphs should include labels (including numerical values and correct units) for both the horizontal and vertical axes. The values don't have to be exactly right, but they should be relatively close. If possible, find the slope and apply it to a real life situation.arrow_forwardA train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s². 1. What is the speed of the train after 7.40 s on the incline? 2.How far has the train traveled up the incline after 7.40 s?arrow_forwardA particle moves along the x axis beginning at x = −2 m at time zero. The particle moves forward at speed 4 m/s for 3 seconds, then backward at 3 m/s for 2 seconds, then forward again at 1 m/s for 3 seconds. Draw a position vs. time graph for this motion.

- Q2.1 Dr. John Paul Stapp was U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme deceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s! 3 2 a. Calculate his acceleration. Express as a multiple of g (9.80 m s-2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity. b. Calculate his deceleration. Express as a multiple of g (9.80 m s-2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.arrow_forwardA Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of a gazelle assumes an acceleration of 4.2 m/s2m/s2 for 6.5 ss , after which the gazelle continues at a steady speed. What is the gazelle's top speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The best time for a 30 mm sprint for a human runner is 3.6 ss. How much time would the gazelle take for a 30 mm race? Express your answer with the appropriate units. A gazelle would win a longer race. The best time for a 200 mm sprint for a human runner is 19.3 ss. How much time would the gazelle take for a 200 mm race?
