Why or why not?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown following a projectile motion.It is known that the horizontal distance (range) the ball can travel is given by R=v0²/g sin 20 ,where r is the range (in feet) ,v0 is the initial speed (in ft/s),0 is the angle of elevation the ball is thrown and g=32 ft/s² is the acceleration due to gravity. A. Express the new range in terms of the original range when an angle 0(0arrow_forwarda. You leave your home & drive 45 km in the +y direction for a job interview. They offer you the job so you decide to stop and celebrate with friends on the way home. You leave the interview and drive 22 km in the -y direction. Let your home be your reference point. - What total distance did you drive?(km) - What total distance did you drive? ____km to the a. +y, b. -y, c. +x, d. -x, c. no direction b. You are standing on a circular track that is 400 m long. You begin jogging at the start line and keep jogging until you complete 2 full lap and stop at the same point you started at. - What is the total distance you travel?

- The Nardo ring is a circular test track for cars. It has a circumference of 12.5 cars travel around the track at a constant speed of 100 km/h. A car starts at the easternmost point of the ring and drives for 15 minutes at this speed. a. What distance, in km, does the car travel?arrow_forwardLet's say you ride your bike from your house to your friend's house. To get there uou have to go 4.00 miles south, 8.00 miles west, then 6.00 miles north. This trip takes 32.5 minutes.a. What is your average speed for the trip in miles per minute? b. What is your average velocity for the trip in miles per minute?arrow_forwarda. The position of an object is given by x(t) = A + B*t + C*t³ (yes, those exponents are intentional, this is NOT constant acceleration). Provided that x is measured in meters and t in seconds, what must be the units for the constants A, B, and C. b. Another position function is given by y(t) = D # E*t1 + F*t3/2). What are its velocity, and acceleration functions with time? c. Bonus: choose and declare your values for D, E and F, and make graphs of y(t), vy(t), and a,(t). Don't forget appropriate units at each step.arrow_forward
