You go watch your friend as she runs at a cross country meet. The first time she passes you, your friend runs by going due north at a speed of 4.40 m/s. You move to a different place on the course and twelve minutes after you saw her the first time, your friend runs past you again. This time she is traveling at a speed of 3.80 m/s in the direction 30.0◦ W of S. What is the direction of her average acceleration between those same two times?

- An object is released from rest at a height of h. During the final second of its fall, it traverses a distance of 38m. Determine h. I would like to know the solution but also maybe an explanation on how I would know what process to take. For the last second, I was able to find that final vf = 38m/s. That is vf = deltax/deltat, or 38m/1s. I plugged it in to vf2 = vo2 + 2a(deltax), since I think that vf shouldn't change for h, but I got the wrong answer. Please explain.arrow_forwardSpaceship Malfunction. You and your team get a distress call from another ship indicating that there has been an explosion and their propulsion and navigation systems are now off line. A large piece of their ship has been jettisoned into space, and their life support systems are failing. They need help as soon as possible. You try to track them, but are only able to pick up the piece of the craft that had been projected away from them in the explosion. You look up the make and model of their ship, a Galaxy Explorer 5000 (GE 5000), which has a total mass of 51000 kg. The piece heading in your direction is the ship's storage module, and has a mass of 8500 kg. The GE 5000 was at rest with respect to your ship at the time of the explosion. (a) Assuming you received the distress call 20 minutes before the jettisoned storage module passed by your ship at a speed of 650 m/s, what is the speed of the damaged craft? (b) How far away is the Galaxy Explorer 5000 when its storage module passes by?…arrow_forwardGab, a professional rooftop futbol player, kicked a 0.45 kg ball off a rooftop that is 81 m off the ground, at 15 m/s oriented 45° above his horizon.
