- Answer the following question(s): A student sees her physical science professor approaching on the sidewalk that runs by her dorm. She gets a water balloon and waits. When the professor is 2.0s from being directly under the window about 11m from the sidewalk, she drops the balloon. Finish the story. Instructor Note: There are several ways to reach the correct answer. I generally solve for time to determine if balloon will hit the professor or not based on the given scenario. A formula to use is ?=12??2d=12gt2?d = 1 2 g t 2 where d = distance g = gravitational constant of 9.8 t = timearrow_forwardFor a lab report, I have to answer these questions and am confused on how to get these answers from the graphs. The lab is on projectile motion and velocity. I basically threw a ball upwards and recorded its flight on tracker. The two pictures I attached show the vertical velocity by versus time and the horizontal velocity vx versus time. From the velocity vs. time graph(s) determine the acceleration of the ball independently for each component of the motion as a function of time. What is the acceleration of the ball just after it is thrown, and just before it is caught or lands? What is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration at its highest point? Is this value reasonable? Determine the launch velocity of the ball from the velocity vs. time graphs in the x and y directions. Is this value reasonable? Determine the velocity of the ball at its highest point. Is this value reasonable?arrow_forwardShown is a motion diagram of a car traveling down a street. The camera took one frame every second. A distance scale is provided.a. Use the scale to determine the x-value of the car at each dot. Place your data in a table, similar to Table 2.1, showing each position and the instant of time at which it occurred.b. Make a graph of x versus t, using the data in your table. Because you have data only at certain instants of time, your graph should consist of dots that are not connected together.arrow_forward

- I Review As you hurry to catch your flight at the local airport, you encounter a moving walkway that is 71 m long and has a speed of 2.3 m/s relative to the ground. Part A If it takes you 59 s to cover 71 m when walking on the ground, how long will it take you to cover the same distance on the walkway? Assume that you walk with the same speed on the walkway as you do on the ground. Express your answer using two significant figures.arrow_forwardA ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a 96-foottall building with an initial velocity of 80 feet per second.
