Problem 45 show a motion diagram. For each of these problems, write a one or two sentence 鈥渟tory鈥 about a real object that has this motion diagram. Your stories should talk about people or objects by name and say what they are doing.

For Problem 38, draw a complete pictorial representation. Do not solve these problems or do any mathematics.
A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.0 m/s hits a 5.0-m-wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continues on at 6.0 m/s. What is her acceleration on the rough ice?
You are watching a jet ski race. A racer speeds up from rest
to 70 mph in just a few seconds, then continues at a constant
speed. Draw a basic motion diagram of the jet ski, using images
from the video, from 10 s before reaching top speed until 10 s
afterward.
Your roommate drops a tennis ball from a third-story balcony.
It hits the sidewalk and bounces as high as the second story.
Draw a complete motion diagram of the tennis ball from the
time it is released until it reaches the maximum height on its
bounce. Be sure to determine and show the acceleration at the lowest point.
For Problem 34, draw a complete pictorial representation. Do not solve these problems or do any mathematics. |
