Figure 2.14a is a diagram of a multiflash image of an air puck moving to the right on a horizontal surface. The images sketched are separated by equal time intervals, and the first and last images show the puck al rest. (a) In Figure 2.14b, which color graph best shorn the puck’s position as a function of time? (b) In Figure 2.14c, which color graph best shows the puck’s velocity as a function of time? (c) In Figure 2.l4d, which color graph best shows the puck's acceleration as a function of time?
Figure 2.14 (Quick Quiz 2.5) Choose the correct graphs.

- A butterfly flies from the top of a tree in the center of a garden to rest on top of a red flower at the garden's edge. The tree is 6.0 mm taller than the flower, and the garden is 13 mm wide. Determine the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement.arrow_forwardOnly C Answer in one of the imagesarrow_forwardDear, Can you please solve this for me with extra explanations and drawing to understand the answer better as I have an exam soon?

- dsOne morning, Cosdnnie walks from her house to go to a store that is 500 ft, S 40o W from her hdouse. She starts walking 120 ft, SW; then continues walking 100 ft, 10o S of E; then sees a friend who is 700 ft, 30o N of E from where she isdasd. From her friend’s location, how far ansd in what direction should Connie waldk to finally get to the store?

Your boat rides through a pirate battle, in which cannons on a ship and in a fort are firing at each other. While you are aware that the splashes in the water do not represent actual cannonballs, you begin to wonder about such battles in the days of the pirates. Suppose the fort and the ship are separated by 75.0 m. You see that the cannons in the fort are aimed so that their cannonballs would be fired horizontally from a height of 7.00 m above the water. (a) You wonder at what speed they must be fired in order to hit the ship before falling in the water. (b) Then, you think about the sludge that must build up inside the barrel of a cannon. This sludge should slow down the cannonballs. A question occurs in your mind: if the cannonballs can be fired at only 50.0% of the speed found earlier,is it possible to fire them upward at some angle to the horizontal so that they would reach the ship?arrow_forward
- Elma runs 400 meters to Roldan’s house, turns around, and runs 400 meters backhome. What is Elma’s displacement?arrow_forwardMany handicapped individuals struggle using electric wheelchairs. Researchers used Bayes' rule to assess a “intelligent” robotic controller that attempts to record a wheelchair user's intent and assist in navigation. Consider the situation below. A wheelchair user may either (1) turn abruptly left and approach a door, (2) go straight to the opposite side of the room, or (3) turn slightly right and halt at a table. D (for door), S (straight), and T (for time) (for table). P(D) = 0.4, P(S) = 0.25, and P(T) = 0.35. The wheelchair has a joystick operated by a robot. The user directs the joystick straight 50% of the time while going through the door, 30% of the time when going straight, and 25% of the time when going to the table. What is her most likely destination, calculate based on P(D|J), P(S|J) and P(T|J)?arrow_forward16arrow_forward
