2.9 + A. ball moves ina Straight Tine dhe xcaxig, The Powe £29 raph in Fig. E29 shows this my hall's velocity asa function ‘of time, (a) What are the ball’s 3° average speed and average Velocity during the first 2.8 s? (b) Suppose thatthe ball moved 10 in such a way that the graph seg- ment after 2.0 s was -30m/s 9, 1072030! instead of +3.0 m/s. Find the ball's average speed and average velocity inthis case 20 2.16 © An astronaut has left the International Space Station to {esta new space scooter. Her partner measures the following ve- locity changes, each taking place in a 109-s imerval. What are the ‘magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction ofthe average ac celeration in each interval? Assume that the positive direction isto the right (a) At the beginning ofthe interval, the astronaut is mov- ing toward the right along the x-axis at 15.4 mys, and atthe end of the interval she is moving toward the right at 4.90 m/s. ¢b) AC the beginning she is moving toward the left at 4.90 m/s, and at the end she is moving toward the eft at 15.4 mys. (¢) Atthe beginning she {is moving toward the right at 15.4 m/s, and at the end she is mov- ing toward the eft at 15.4 ms 2.30.» A cat walks in a straight line, which we shall call the ‘axis, withthe postive direction tothe right. Asan observant physi- jst, You make measurements of this cat's motion and construct 4 graph of the feline’ velocity as a function of time (Fig. £2.30) (@) Find the cats velocity at = 5.08 and at 1= 7.05, (b) What is the cat’s acceleration at 1 = 3.08? At f= 608? At 7.08? (6) What distance does the cat move during the first 45 8? From r= 0 (0 F = 7.58? @) Assuming that the cat started atthe origin, sketch clear graphs of the cat’ acceleration and posi= tion as functions of time, 20 Figure2.34 + Ache instant the traffic Hight turns green, a car that has ‘been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constant accel- eration of 3.60 m/s2. At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 21.0 mys, overtakes and passes the car. (2) How far beyond its starting point does the car overtake the truck? (b) How fast is the ear traveling when it overtakes the truck? (6) Sketch an1-f graph of the motion of both vehicles. Take x = 0 a the intersection. (d) Sketch a vic! graph of the motion of both, vehicles. 2.49 You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a thway bridge that crosses a river. The rock passes you on its way down, 6.00 s after it was thrown, What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 28.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand? Ignore air resistance.
