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?

- 1d. A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 18.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 20.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.) x= y=arrow_forwardPlease do help me with this please. It is a physics question. Please, i promise to give a perfect feedback to you.arrow_forwardUse the component method to add the vectors A and B shown in Figure P3.9. Both vectors have mag- nitudes of 3.00 m and vector A makes an angle of 0 = 30.0° with the x axis. Express the resultant Á + B in unit-vector notation.arrow_forward
- A 11 m tall streetlight is positioned 16 m away from a vertical wall. Timothy throws a tennis ball directly towards the wall with a speed of 16.6 m/s. Assuming that the ball travels on a perfectly horizontal path 1.5 m above the ground, at what rate is the shadow of the ball moving up the wall when it is 2 m from the wall?arrow_forwardAnswer Part D). At what time is the object's velocity 10 m/s?arrow_forwarddr v(t) = dt %3D This means that if At is sufficiently small and Ar is the displacement during At, we can approximate Ar as v(t) At. (With r(t) given below, nothing prevents you from an exact calculation except the approximation of the numbers. But v(t) At may be easier.) An object moves according to the following function of time. This problem will be purely numerical, although if you wish, you may think of the numbers as numbers of meters, seconds, meters/second, and so forth. x(t) A + Bt2 r(t) = %3D %3D Ct + Dt3 Calculate the distance the object moves during the time interval (t - At/2, t + At/2), at least approximately -- to within three percent. The numbers: • A = 7.9 • B = 5.4 • C = 2.2 D = 8.9 •t 8.8 At = 0.048arrow_forward
- can you help with question B.arrow_forwardA car is traveling at a speed of 33 m/s. (a) What is its speed in kilometers per hour? (b) Is it exceeding the 90 km/h speed limit?arrow_forward3.48 The sphere of diameter D of Fig. P3.48 is traveling with a velocity V of 1.2 m/s in 20°C atmospheric air. If Re = VD/v is less than 4 × 10“, the boundary layer around the front of the sphere is completely laminar. Determine if the boundary layer is com- pletely laminar on a sphere of diameter: (a) 1 cm (b) 1m Boundary layer V Fig. P3.48arrow_forward
- The world's largest stuffed animal is a 420-meter-long snake built by Norwegian children. Assume the snake is laid out in a park, as shown in the figure below, forming two straight sides of a 115° angle, one side being 340m long. Olaf and Inge compete in a race they devise. Inge runs directly from the snake's tail to its head, while Olaf starts from the same place but runs along the snake. How much faster does Inge reach the head of the snake than Olaf if both children run steadily at 15.0km/h?arrow_forwardThe kinematic equations can describe phenomena other thanmotion through space and time. Suppose x represents a person’sbank account balance. The units of x would be dollars($), and velocity v would give the rate at which the balancechanges (in units of, for example, $/month). Accelerationwould give the rate at which v changes. Suppose a personbegins with ten thousand dollars in the bank. Initial moneymanagement leads to no net change in the account balance sothat v0 =0. Unfortunately, management worsens over time sothat a = -2.5 x 102 $/month2. Assuming a is constant, findthe amount of time in months until the bank account is empty.arrow_forwardWhat is the acceleration vector at t=4.5 seconds?arrow_forward
