D. Review your earlier interpretation of the speed for your small tape segment. (See section I.)
Is that interpretation valid for the entire motion that generated the tape?
Based on the speed for your piece of tape, could you successfully predict how far the object would move in:
How can you modify the interpretation of the speed so that it applies even to motion with varying speed?
What name is given to a speed that is interpreted in this way?

- For the question below, it will help if you draw a figure and put in it all the given information. At one point during the Oman bicycle race, three racers are riding along a straigh section of road. The velocity of racer Arelative to racer B is VAB, the velocity of is VAC and the velocity of C relative to B is yCB. If VAB = +6.0 m/s, and yac= +2. VCB? a) +2.0 m/s b) +4.0 m/s c) +8.0 m/s d) -4.0 m/s e) -2.0 m/s а. (а) b. (b) с. (с) d. (d) е. (е)arrow_forwardA. From the perspective of point x, vector a and vector b are approaching with around the same speed. From Joseph's perspective, the two are walking with around the same speed. Determine if vector a is approaching with the same speed, twice the speed, or half the speed from the perspective of vector b. Explain.B. Vectors x and y are moving with uniform velocities. If the image below is t = 0, how long will it take (in seconds) for vector x to be in the same position with vector y? How far should vector x have traveled (in meters) by the time it has overtaken the position of vector y? Show proper solution.arrow_forwardYou stand on the top of a tall building and throw a baseball directly downwards. When the baseball leaves your hand, it has a speed of 6 m/s. (Assume there is no air resistance for this problem) a. Four seconds after you throw it, what is the acceleration of the baseball? Show your work and explain your steps. b.

- Two kids decided to play with their toys, balls. The first kid is on the ground (0.00 meter), whereas the second kid is on top of a 10.00-meter tall building. The second kid threw his ball at the same time that the first kid throws another ball upward. At the time that the first kid’s ball reaches its maximum height, the two balls will collide. i.) Compute for the initial speed of the first kid’s ball. ii.) Determine at what time and at what height the two balls will collide.arrow_forwardA student has assembled an arrangement of tracks on which a steel ball has the motion represented by the v versus t graph at the right.

Show your work, explaining how you determined your answer from the v versus t graph. b.

What is the new speed of the horse if he travels twice his time travelled? Velocity 1. It is 21,000 kilometers around the earth and the earth rotates in 24 hrs. How fast is it rotating? 2. Jessica jogs on a path that is 25 kilometers long to get to a park that is south of the jogging path. If it takes Jessica 2.5 hours then, what is the velocity? 3. How long will it take light moving at 300,000 km/s to reach us from the sun? The sun is 150,000,000 km from earth. 4. An auto travels going to Roxas City at a rate of 25 km/hr for 0.045 hour , then at 50 km/hr for 0.056 hr, and finally at 20 km/hr for 0.015 hour. Find the total…arrow_forward
- A kid throws a water balloon at a high wall. The balloon hits a 7.0 m high spot on the wall with a speed of 6.5 m/s. How fast does the kid throw the balloon? please show your work, including diagrams, algebraic equations, and enough written explanations that somebody who is not familiar with the problem could understand what you are doing.arrow_forwardQuick description In this lab you will study two-dimensional motion, specifically projectile motion. You will roll a ball down an inclined plane (a track with one end propped). The ball will fly off the end of the inclined plane and undergo projectile motion until it hits the ground. At the moment the ball is leaving the inclined plane, a photogate detector measures the time the ball takes to pass through the gate. Using the diameter f the ball and the photogate time, you can calculate the speed of the ball when it passed through the photogate. Based on the angle of the inclined plane, the initial speed for the projectile motion, and the distance the ball falls (Ay in figure), you should be able to predict the horizontal distance (Ax in figure) and compare it to your measured horizontal distance. 41cm Ball 121cm Inced Plane Table Inclined plane angle = sin ^-1 (41cm/121 cm) = 19.81° Ball diameter = 0.013 m Delta Y= 76 cm=0.76 m Time (s) Velocity (m/s) Delta X (m) 0.00707 0.184 0.654…arrow_forwardPart A The 5.0-m-long rope in (Figure 1) hangs vertically from a tree right at the edge of a ravine.
