- Freefall is the motion that an object undergoes when the only force acting on the object is the force of gravity. Typically the vertical direction is labelled by the y coordinate and the constant acceleration equations of motion are simply modified (i.e. just replace a with y). v = vo + at y – Yo = vot + ať? y – Yo = } (vo + v) t v? = v3 + 2a (y – yo) Which of the following statements about freefall motion are correct? If an object in freefall has an downwards velocity of 10 m/s then the acceleration of gravity in the constant acceleration equations of motion is a = -g = -9.8 m/s². If an object in freefall has an upwards velocity of 10 m/s then the acceleration of gravity in the constant acceleration equations of motion is a = -g = -9.8 m/s². If the Y-coordinate system is chosen to point upwards (i.e. Y increases when moving up), then the acceleration of gravity in the constant acceleration equations of motion is a = -g= -9.8 m/s². For an object to be in freefall then it must be…arrow_forwardA common graphical representation of motion along a straight line is the v vs. t graph, that is, the graph of (instantaneous) velocity as a function of time. In this graph, time t is plotted on the horizontal axis and velocity v on the vertical axis. Note that by definition, velocity and acceleration are vector quantities. In straight-line motion, however, these vectors have only a single nonzero component in the direction of motion. Thus, in this problem, we will call the velocity and a the acceleration, even though they are really the components of the velocity and acceleration vectors in the direction of motion, respectively.

- As a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (55 mph) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 155 ft. Since fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.536 and 0.599, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.350 and 0.480. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs weighing 1410 lb to large trucks weighing 8250 lb. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum…arrow_forwardAs a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets.
