If you have taken calculus, you know that we can find the velocity of the object by taking the derivative of the preceding equation. That is, dx = v = dt = gt We can find the acceleration by taking the derivative again: dv = a = g dt (a) Create a function called free_fall with a single input vector t that returns values for distance x, velocity v, and acceleration g.

It takes him 20 minutes to cover this distance. Write a vector in component form that describes his ride while also finding the magnitude and direction of this vector. Also, find the component of Bruce's motion which is in the direction of SW using a unit vector that uses both forms of the dot product (algebraic and geometric), then write parametric equations expressing his motion with the town being represented by the origin and t=0 being his starting point. Using these equations, what is his position after 5 minutes? Then eliminate the parameter to get a rectangular equation for this linear path and verify algabraically amd graphically that this equation represents the line.arrow_forward
