Estimate the acceleration you subject yourself to if you walk into a brick wall at normal walking speed. (Make a reasonable esti

mate of your speed and of the time it takes you to come to a stop.) Give your reasoning, and make sure your estimate has units

Answer:

From certain assumptions that the walking speed is 2 m/s, and the stop time is 0.1 s the acceleration would be -20 m/s

Explanation:

Using the average acceleration formula:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} where \Delta v and \Delta t are the changes in the speed and time respectively.

We have by assuming that the walking speed is 2 m/s and the stop time is 0.1s which is equal to the change in time during the stopping.

\Delta v=v_f-v_i=0-2 m/s=-2 m/s, where v_i,v_f are the initial speed and final speed respectively, and \Delta t=0.1 s

Plugging the previous in the average acceleration formula we get

a=\frac{-2}{0.1}=-20\, m/s where the minus sign indicates an acceleration in the opposite direction of the motion (or in other word opposite to the speed's direction).

A stone is dropped from from rest at the top of a mine shaft. It takes 95 seconds for the stone to fall to the bottom of the min
Marianna [84]

Distance of fall from rest,
without air resistance              =  (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

                                             = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (95 sec)²

                                             =  (4.9 m/s²) (9,025 sec²)

                                             =        44,222.5 meters  .

The depth of the mine shaft is five times the height of Mt. Everest !

Assume the equation x 5 At3 1 Bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having
igomit [66]

Answer:

(a) A = m/s^3, B = m/s.

(b) dx/dt = m/s.

Explanation:

(a)

x = At^3 + Bt\\m = As^3 + Bs\\m = (\frac{m}{s^3})s^3 + (\frac{m}{s})s

Therefore, the dimension of A is m/s^3, and of B is m/s in order to satisfy the above equation.

(b) \frac{dx}{dt} = 3At^2 + B = 3(\frac{m}{s^3})s^2 + \frac{m}{s} = m/s

This makes sense, because the position function has a unit of 'm'. The derivative of the position function is velocity, and its unit is m/s.

Look at the velocity versus time graph below. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the object after it travels for three
Elza [17]

Answer:

C. 12m

Explanation:

veocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}

from the graph v = 4m/s and t = 3 s

d = vt = 4 × 3 = 12 m
