Assignment 4

course PHy201

A bee is making a beeline for its hive. Its velocity is measured at a distance of 75 meters from the observer and again at distance 145 meters from the observer. The clock times at these two positions are t = 9 sec and t = 16 sec, and the measured velocities are 3 m/sec and 13.5 m/sec. What is its average velocity during this time? What is its average acceleration during this time? Is it possible that the acceleration is uniform? The average velocity is 8m/s

The average acceleration is 10m/s

I don’t think a bee could have a uniform acceleration.

I expect that you are right, but solutions need to be based on the given information.

The average acceleration is not 10 m/s.

You need to give the details of your reasoning, starting with the definition of acceleration.
