Parts (a), (b), and (c) of Figure 2.10 represent three graphs of the velocities of different objects moving in straight-line paths as functions of time. The possible accelerations of each object as functions of time are shown in parts (d), (c), and (f). Match each velocity vs. time graph with the acceleration vs. time graph that best describes the motion.
Figure 2.10 (Quick Quiz 2.3) Match each velocity vs. time graph to its corresponding acceleration vs. time graph.

- A stone is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building. If the equation of the motion of the stone is s=-5t^2+30t+200, where s is the directed distance from the ground in meters and t is in seconds. a. What is the height of the building? b. What is the average velocity in the time interval [1,3]c. What is the instantaneous velocity at time t=1?d. At what time will be the stone hit the ground?arrow_forwardI need the answer quicklyarrow_forwardA motorcycle begins at rest at t0 = 0 seconds. The motorcycle starts moving, and eventually covers a distance d = 840 m, in a time tf = 189 s. In a coordinate system with north being the positive x-direction, the motorcycle's motion is in the northern direction (see figure). 1. What was the motorcycle's average velocity in in the northern direction vavg,N, in this period in meters per second? 2. If the motorcycle's final velocity at tf was 12 m/s, what was the motorcycle's average acceleration in the northern direction, aavg,N, during this period in m/s2?arrow_forward
- Shown is a motion diagram of a car traveling down a street. The camera took one frame every second. A distance scale is provided.a. Use the scale to determine the x-value of the car at each dot. Place your data in a table, similar to Table 2.1, showing each position and the instant of time at which it occurred.b. Make a graph of x versus t, using the data in your table. Because you have data only at certain instants of time, your graph should consist of dots that are not connected together.arrow_forwardA bicycle's velocity in the x direction, as a function of time is given by: vx(t) = alpha beta(t2). Alpha and beta are constants. 1.) What is the acceleration as a function of time? 2.) What is the position as a function of time? Assume the initial position at t=0 is y. 3. If alpha = 300m/s and beta = 0.100m/s3 and y = 2.00m, what are the positions, velocities, and accelerations at the locations below? t(s) x(m) v(m/s) a(m/s2 1 2 5 10arrow_forwardsolve in a detailed form.
