On July 19th, 1985 Christa McAuliffe was selected as the first teacher to go to space by NASA. Her dream was to be the first teacher to go to space with all her lessons. Her daughter keeps her dream alive today by setting up 40 schools called the McAuliffe Centre.

"<span>Give an example of a situation in which you would describe an object's position in (a) one-dimension coordinates (b) two-dimension coordinates (c) three-dimension coordinates"
Solution
(a) One dimension example: a man walking along a metal plank. We just need to specify one coordinate, the distance from the beginning of the plank.
(b) Two-dimension example: a ball moving on a circle. In this case, we need two coordinates: (x,y) to specify the position of the ball at every instant, since it is moving on a 2-D plane.
(c) The position of an airplane in the air: in this case we need 3 coordinates, the height, the latitude and the longitude of the airplane.</span>
Answer:
60
Explanation:
(hint: speed = distance/time)
Answer:
The average force the golf club exerts on the ball is 600 N
Explanation:
Newton's second law of motion states that force, F, is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum produced
F = m× (v₂ - v₁)/(Δt)
The given parameters of the motion of the ball are;
The mass of the ball, m = 45 g = 0.045 kg
The initial velocity of the ball, v₁ = 0 m/s
The speed with which the ball was hit by the golfer, v₂ = 40 m/s
The duration of contact between the golf club and the ball, Δt = 3 ms = 0.003 seconds (s)
By Newton's law of motion, the average force, 'F', which the golf club exerts on the ball is therefore, given as follows;
F = 0.045 kg × (40 m/s - 0 m/s)/(0.003 s) = 600 N
The average force the golf club exerts on the ball = F = 600 N.
Answer:
The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:
where
is the increment in the y-variable
is the increment in the x-variable
We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:
corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement, 
corresponds to the change in time 
, so the time interval
Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to
which corresponds to the definition of velocity.
