A particle moves from point x1 = 30 cm to x2 = -40 cm. What is the displacement of this particle?
A volume is measured to be 52 mm^3. This volume in m^3 is
5.2 X 10^-8 m^3
A semi truck accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 over a distance of 140 m and reaches a velocity of 32 m/s. What was the truck’s initial velocity?
vf2 = vo2 + 2ad
vo = 28.0 m/s
d = 140 m
a = 0.85 m/s2
vf = 32 m/s
32^2 = vo^2 + 2(0.85)(140)1024 = vo^2 + 238
vo^2 = 786
vo = √786 = 28.0 m/s
A driver is stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, she accelerates at a rate of 2.2 m/s2 for 6.5 s. How fast is she driving at the end of the acceleration period?
vf = vo + at
t = 6.5 s a = 2.2 m/s2
vo = 0 m/s vf = ?
vf = vo + at = 0 + (2.2)(6.5) t
vf = 14.3 m/s
Ignoring air resistance, does a heavier object fall faster than a lighter object? Explain.
What is: ALL objects fall at 9.8 m/s2.
A roofer drops a tool off the side of a house. The tool takes 2.4 seconds to hit the ground.
a. How tall is the house?
vo = 0 m/s, t = 2.4 s, a = 9.8 m/s2
d = vot + ½ at2 =
d = 28.22 m/s
What determines the amount of inertia in an object?
