Explain why we only consider one dimensional motion when using a single motion sensor. Based on the definition of velocity, describe what you should observe in the velocity vs. time graph if you were measuring a stationary, distant object and you suddenly slid and object into the beam from the side [hint: think about the behavior of the position graph in this case.]

George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his velocity in meters per second? Also, is the acceleration due to gravity negative or positive or it depends? I'm really confused. Please help and explain in an easy to understand.
A bunch of keys was thrown directly upward by Macoy, who is looking out of the window, to be caught by Len-Len living on a room right above him. Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds, c. What is the keys' acceleration when it reached its highest point?d. What is the keys' velocity when it reached its highest point?

Use integrals with limits to complete the following. Credit will not be given for integrals without limits. 1. A jet lands on a runway. Between the time the jet touches the ground (t = 0) and when it comes to rest, the jet has a velocity given by v(t) = 160.0 - 2.5 ³. m m . (a) Write down a definite integral that will give you the displacement of the jet between t = 1.0 s and t = 3.0 s. (b) Evaluate the definite integral you wrote out in part (a) to determine the displacement of the jet between t = 1.0 s and t = 3.0 s?
You are sitting in your car at a red light when you see a zombie standing still 65m in front of your car. You both begin to accelerate towards each other. Your car accelerates at 1.8 m/s^2 and the zombie accelerates at 0.6 m/s^2. How long does it take for you to strike the zombie? Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system. Please use grade 12 kinematics and label the variables as v1, v2, a (Acceleration), t (time), d (displacement) Thanks!
An airplane heads due north at 100 m/s being blown by the wind at 500 m/s due East. Draw it's graph. Determine the resultant velocity of the airplane. After several tries of measuring, Lydia gets the results of 2.75, 2.76, 2.30 cm. She realized that the results of measurement is closest to the actual measurement which is 3.25. What is the implication of her measurements? Is it Accurate and precise? I measured the length of cabinet 3 times. The results of my measurements are 3.44 m, 3.55 m, 3.47 m. Afterwards, I compared it to the results with each other. What did I was trying to find out? Is it precision?
The motion of a cart can be represented by x (t) = (-2.5m/s) t – 10.0m. At what time does this cart cross the origin? It crosses the origint = 4s after we start observing it O It crosses the origin t = Os after we start observing it O If it were moving the same way before we started observing it then it crossed the origin 4 seconds before we started counting.
Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please break it down so I can understand. I tried to solve it how you guys did it but I keep getting another answer. Thank you!
Hi I am in physics 1 and I need help with this problem. It saids a boy runs in an open field. He runs 233m due north in 77 seconds, turns 90 degrees to his left and runs 178m in 93 seconds. Sketch a map of his motion and find the following quantities of his motion during this period from starting time to final time a) Map of his motion b) The total distance he runs (233m + 178m= 411m) c) The displacement from starting position to final position. What I have thus far is I got c=sqrt (233)^2+(178)^2=293m. Would I subtract this number from the total distance? Please includes detailed steps of how to solve this
