|| An athlete starts at point A and runs at a constant speed of 6.0 m/s around a round track 100 m in diameter, as shown in Figure 3.34. Find the x and y components of this runner’s average velocity and average acceleration between points (a) A and B, (b) A and C, (c) C and D, and (d) A and A (a full lap). (e) Calculate the magnitude of the runner’s average velocity between A and B. Is his average speed equal to the magnitude of his average velocity? Why or why not? (f) How can his velocity be changing if he is running at constant speed?

- Ed drives back and forth along Main Street, which runs east-west, stopping a few different places to run errands. Let’s call east the +x direction. Over the course of 1.75 hours, he travels a total distance of 4.2 km, and his net displacement ∆x is −1.2 km.a) What is Ed’s average x velocity, in km/h b) What is his average speed? c) When Ed travels in the −x direction, is his instantaneous speed positive or negative?

- Basic kinematics variables using calculus: The velocity of an object is given by the expression v(t) = 3.00 m/s + (4.00 m/s3)t2, where t is in seconds. Determine the position of the object as a function of time if it is located at x = 1.00 m at time t = 0.000 s.arrow_forward|a (f/s?)
