D. Review your earlier interpretation of the speed for your small tape segment. (See section I.)
Is that interpretation valid for the entire motion that generated the tape?
Based on the speed for your piece of tape, could you successfully predict how far the object would move in:
How can you modify the interpretation of the speed so that it applies even to motion with varying speed?
What name is given to a speed that is interpreted in this way?

- We have an optional assignment for physics, shown below. I've already worked out the problems, but I'm not sure if I'm doing them correctly. I would really appreciate it if someone could explain how to solve the four questions below, as well as the principles behind them. Thank you!arrow_forwardAnwser all questions and each part ! 1. The position function x(t) of a particle moving along an x axis is x = 3.2 − 7.2t2, with x in meters and t in seconds. (a) At what time does the particle (momentarily) stop? (b) Where does the particle (momentarily) stop? (c) At what negative time does the particle pass through the origin? (d) At what positive time does the particle pass through the origin? 2. A car traveling 56.0 km/h is 22.0 m from a barrier when the driver slams on the brakes. The car hits the barrier 2.13 s later. (a) What is the magnitude of the car's constant acceleration before impact?(b) How fast is the car traveling at impact? 3.The single cable supporting an unoccupied construction elevator breaks when the elevator is at rest at the top of a 189 m high building. (a) With what speed does the elevator strike the ground? (b) How long was it falling? (c) What was its speed when it passed the halfway point on the way down? (d) How long had it been falling when it…arrow_forwardAnswer should be B but I don't understand how. This is one of my previous test and I need help find in logic behind itarrow_forward
- A pendulum is released and swings until it stops. If it passes through an arc of 25 inches the first pass, and if on each successive pass it travels 2/5 the distance of the preceding pass, how far will it travel before stopping? To solve this problem fully, respond the following questions a) Write the distance traveled in expanded form b) Write the distance traveled in sigma notation c) How far will it travel before stopping?arrow_forwardLight travels at a speed of about 3 × 108 m/s. (a) How many miles does a pulse of light travel in a time interval of 0.1 s, which is about the blink of an eye? (b) Compare this distance to the diameter of Earth.arrow_forwardYou walk from home due east to school to get a book, and then you walk back west to visit a friend. The figure shows your distance D, in yards, east of home as a function of the time t, in minutes, since you left home. (a) How far away is school? yd(b) At what time do you reach school? The school is first reached in about minutes.(c) At what time(s) are you a distance of 900 yards from home?You are first 900 yards away from home at about minutes and then again at about minutes.(d) Compute the average rate of change in D over the interval from t = 0 to t = 3. yd/minCompute the average rate of change in D over the interval from t = 3 to t = 6. yards per minuteCompute the average rate of change in D over the interval from t = 6 to t = 9. yards per minute(e) How is this related to the shape of the graph over the interval from t = 0 to t = 9? This part of the graph ---Select--- concaves down is a straight line concaves up . (f) At what time are you walking back west the fastest?You…arrow_forward
- Hi, please also explain how you got the answer and also explain why that is the right answer. This is the right answer please explain. (B)arrow_forwardWhat's the correct answer? Can you explain in detail please.arrow_forwardSuppose that you walk 22 blocks north, 16 blocks east, and 26 blocks south and the city blocks all have the same length. a.) How many blocks are you from where you started? b.) In what direction are you from where you started, measured counterclockwise from due east?arrow_forward
- Part B is wrong FA=(2mw(L−x)+mbL)g/2L is the formula but I'm unsure which numbers to plug in where.arrow_forwardA water tank is filled to its 59×103-L capacity. a. What is the tank's volume in cubic millimeters? b.What is the mass of the water in milligrams? c.If you drank eight average-sized glasses of water a day, how long would the water in the tank last? Assume that 8 averaged sized glasses is approximately 5.0 Larrow_forward1. The mass m = 178 g in the figure on the right (above) is moving in a circular path of radius 22 cm at a constant speed. It takes 2.6 seconds to make 5 revolutions. How fast is the mass traveling? Approximate pi to 3.14 for this calculation. Present your answer with three significant figures. 2. The mass m = 180g in the figure on the right (above) is moving in a circular path of radius 19 cm at speed 1.250 m/sec. What is the force on the spring? Present your answer with three significant figures.arrow_forward
