Study Notes

Terrell's Workout Analysis

  • Terrell's speed for the first 120 seconds of his workout was calculated to be 4.2 m/s.
  • Over the entire 1700 meters, Terrell's average speed was 4.7 m/s, determined by a total time of 360 seconds.
  • Speed variations indicate that Terrell did not maintain a constant speed within the first 210 seconds, shown by changing slopes on the graph, including a stop from 30 to 60 seconds and acceleration from 180 to 210 seconds.
  • Terrell was taking a break during the first option of the segment, from 0 to 60 seconds.

Car Trip Average Speed Calculation

  • A car covered a total distance of 360 kilometers in four hours, which results in an average speed of 90 km/h.

Sarah's Cycling Acceleration

  • Sarah increased her speed from 4 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds, achieving an acceleration of 2 m/s².

Object's Acceleration Analysis

  • The object's acceleration for the first 60 seconds of motion was calculated as 3.333 m/s².
  • The object experienced no acceleration between 60 to 90 seconds, indicated by a flat line on the graph.
  • The greatest acceleration occurred within the time segment of 0 to 30 seconds.

Marisol on the Bus

  • Marisol is moving relative to both the traffic light and the bus, but stationary relative to the bus driver.
  • The velocity of the moving bus is best represented as 40 m/s East.

Train Movement Reference Frame

  • From the perspective of the ground, a person in a train moving at 100 km/h is not in motion.

Car Average Acceleration

  • During the first 5 seconds, the average acceleration of the car is 5 m/s² south.
  • Between 6.0 to 8.0 seconds, the car's acceleration is characterized as changing direction rather than increasing or decreasing speed.

Anna's Running Performance

  • Anna increased her velocity from 0 m/s to 5 m/s in 3 seconds at the start of her 100 meter dash, showcasing effective initial acceleration.
