The total distance [mi] a jetliner cruising at a constant speed has traveled is recorded every 15 minutes, beginning at 30 minutes, and the following values tabulated:
At what time (in hours) will the distance traveled reach 2500 miles? All calculations must be done in MATLAB. Remember that total distance traveled by an object moving at a constant speed is d = do + vt.

- Q1. The image below shows an example of "absolute dependent motion analysis", where the motions of two objects depend on each other, and the goal is to find the relations in their motions (i.e., in their positions, velocities, and accelerations). Please put the suggested steps of analysis in the correct order. VA A B VB Differentiate the entire equation with respect to time, and extract the relation in velocities. Repeat for acceleration if needed. Set up a coordinate (s) along the direction of motion from a fixed point (O) or a fixed datum line. Represent the positions of the objects respectively. In some cases intermediate objects need to be considered too and their positions need to be represented as well. Recognize the constant length(s) and find the depending geometric relations between the position variables.arrow_forwardA member of your team gives you the following MATLAB program.

The radius of the wheel is 42cm, and the speed of the wheel as it rolls is 2 revolutions per second. Height Above Ground (m) radiu HIDE wheel spet Time The diagram above illustrates the vertical motion of a point on the tire over time. It is possible to model the height of this point using a sinusoidal function of the form h(t)=-a sin[b(t-c)]+d. a) Determine the length of time required for one revolution of the tire. b) State the numerical value for each of the parameters a, b, c & d.

For each, state whether it is TRUE or FALSE, and support your answer with a few sentences or provide a sketch. In rectangular coordinates the unit vectors change with respect to a) time. b) In cases of uniform acceleration, you could define velocity as a function of time or as a function of position. c) If two particles are moving along the same line, you can find the position of B with respect to A by adding xA+xB.

Show your work for each part of the question. Cylindrical Object Incline Figure 1 A cylindrical object can roll down an incline, as shown in Figure 1. The incline is slightly less than one meter in length. A group of students wants to determine the acceleration of the object while it is rolling down the incline. The students have access to the following equipment. · A stopwatch, which can measure time intervals up to 999 s with a precision of 0.01 s · A clock, which can measure time intervals up to 12 hours with a precision of 1 min ute (60 s) • A meterstick, which can measure lengths up to 1 m with a precision of 1 mm · A pair of calipers, which can measure lengths up to 10 cm with a precision of 0.05 mm (a) Assume the object moves with a constant acceleration as it rolls down the incline.

If the change in current is proportional to the voltage, the data should be in a straight line and it should go through zero. In these two examples how close is the y-intercept to zero? Is there a proportional relationship between voltage and current? If so, write the equation for each run in the form potential = constant x current.
