The sketch below shows the position of a toy car that moves along a track while a fan is blowing and creating a "headwind". The numbers indicate the time when the car was at a given position (some images overlap). The "tic" marks are 10 centimeters apart. The positive x direction is to the right. 12s 10s Ss 2s -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 (centimeters) In the space below, make a motion diagram of the motion of the cart. Include arrows to represent the (1) velocities and the (2) accelerations. Motion diagrams include: (1) dots to indicate positions (the dots are already drawn), (2) labeled arrows between dots to represent velocities, and (3) labeled arrows above/below the dots to represent accelerations. Put the acceleration arrows slightly above the dots when the cart is moving to the right and slightly below the dots when the cart is moving to the left.

You have a great job working at a major league baseball stadium for the summer! At this stadium, the speed of every pitch is measured using a radar gun aimed at the pitcher by an operator behind home plate. The operator has so much experience with this job that he has perfected a technique by which he can make each measurement at the exact instant at which the ball leaves the pitchers hand. Your supervisor asks you to construct an algorithm that will provide the speed of the ball as it crosses home plate, 18.3 m from the pitcher, based on the measured speed vi of the ball as it leaves the pitchers hand. The speed at home plate will be lower due to the resistive force of the air on the baseball. The vertical motion of the ball is small, so, to a good approximation, we can consider only the horizontal motion of the ball. You begin to develop your algorithm by applying the particle under a net force to the baseball in the horizontal direction. A pitch is measured to have a speed of 40.2 m/s as it leaves the pitchers hand. You need to tell your supervisor how fast it was traveling as it crossed home plate. (Hint: Use the chain rule to express acceleration in terms of a derivative with respect to x, and then solve a differential equation for v to find an expression for the speed of the baseball as a function of its position. The function will involve an exponential. Also make use of Table 6.1.)

After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by v=1.2i9.8tj where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The balls displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by r=00.3803vdt To perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem [A+Bf(x)]dx=Adx+Bf(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s.
