A student drops a small black sphere alongside a vertical scale marked
in centimetres. A number of flash photographs of the sphere are taken at
0.10s intervals:
9.
..
This diagram is shown sideways- the first black dot is at 0 cm and the next
at 4 cm.
Figure 1.19
The first photograph is taken with the sphere at the top at time t = 0s.
Explain how Figure 1.19 shows that the sphere reaches a constant
speed.
Determine the constant speed reached by the sphere.
Determine the distance that the sphere has fallen when t 0.80 s.
In a real photograph, each image of the sphere appears slightly
blurred because each flash is not instantaneous and takes a time
b
of 0.0010s.
Determine the absolute uncertainty that this gives in the position of each
position of the black sphere when it is travelling at the final constant speed.
Saggest whether this should be observable on the diagram.

answer question 2.a.i quickly in 1 hours… thank you
You purchase a used car. After handing over the cash, you drive it away from the lot, starting at rest and accelerating at 19.8 m/s2. After 16.9 s, the engine breaks down and it decelerates at 5.9 m/s2 until coming to a stop. How far were you able to drive the car? (Please answer down to the fourth decimal place- i.e 10.3456)

- 1.7. A car accelerates from rest to a speed of 40 km/h in a distance of 50 m and then continues at constant speed. Using a velocity-time graph, or otherwise, calculate how long it takes to catch up with the car on a motorcycle starting from rest 2.0 min later than the car and reaching twice the speed with twice the acceleration.arrow_forwardA car moves along a straight road. It moves at a speed of 50 km/hr for 4 minutes, then during the next 4 minutes it gradually speeds up to 100 km/hr, continues at this speed for 4 minutes, then takes 4 minutes to gradually slow to a complete stop. Make a sketch like the figures in Section 1.2 of your textbook, marking dots for the position along the road every minute.arrow_forwardPlease answer the following question(s): 1. The speed of a boat in still water is vá. A river flows with a speed of v₁. The boat travels distance of 19 miles downstream in a river in 1 hour. However, the return journey takes 2 hours. Calculate the vand v₁. Hint: Velocity=displacement/time. Displacement can be positive of neagtive depending on the direction. You will first need to set up the equations by taking into account the resultant velocity of the boat in flowing water. Consider the direction the river is flowing to be positive. Set up two equations, one for the downstream journey and one for the upstream journey, in terms of "v" and "v": Do v" and "v, add or substract downstream to give the resultant downstream velocity? Do v" and "v, add or substract upstream togive the resultant upstream velocity? Use the upstream direction as negative. The resultant upstream velocity should be negative. vb vb Downstream positive Vr Upstream negative Vrarrow_forward
- Consider a dragster that, when the light turns green, accelerates uniformly from rest and completes a 372 meter race in a time of 6.61 seconds. a) During this period, what is the dragster's acceleration expressed as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity, g? b) If the dragster could continue with this average acceleration, what would its speed be, in miles per hour, after it has traveled a total distance of 1.6km1.6km, which is approximately one mile?arrow_forwardI am doing a free-fall experiment for Physics and I need to make a velocity vs. time graph using the average value of the final velocity.

- 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.arrow_forwardA motor car is moving with initial velocity in the x-direction at 30 m/s. After 30 s, the car applies its brakes steadily to slow down the car to a velocity of 10 m/s in 12 s. The continues onward for 10 s more. How far in m did the car travel for the full 52 s? Report your answer to three sig figs, you don't need to write "m". HINT: Break up the problem into three stages - 30s, 12s, and the final 10s.
