Given Solution: The coordinates a point on the graph include a position and a clock time, which tells you where the object whose motion is represented by the graph is at a given instant. If you have two points on the graph, you know the position and clock time at two instants. Given two points on a graph you can find the rise between the points and the run. On a graph of position vs. clock time, the position is on the 'vertical' axis and the clock time on the 'horizontal' axis. • The rise between two points represents the change in the 'vertical' coordinate, so in this case the rise represents the change in position. • The run between two points represents the change in the 'horizontal' coordinate, so in this case the run represents the change in clock time. The slope between two points of a graph is the 'rise' from one point to the other, divided by the 'run' between the same two points. • The slope of a position vs. clock time graph therefore represents rise / run = (change in position) / (change in clock time). • By the definition of average velocity as the average rate of change of position with respect to clock time, we see that average velocity is vAve = (change in position) / (change in clock time). • Thus the slope of the position vs. clock time graph represents the average velocity for the interval between the two graph points. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I didn’t include that the slope is the same thing as the average velocity. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&*:3 ********************************************* Question: `qQuery Principles of Physics and General College Physics: Summarize your solution to Problem 1.19 (1.80 m + 142.5 cm + 5.34 * 10^5 `micro m to appropriate # of significant figures) YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: University Physics confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `a** 1.80 m has three significant figures (leading zeros don't count, neither to trailing zeros unless there is a decimal point; however zeros which are listed after the decimal point are significant; that's the only way we have of distinguishing, say, 1.80 meter (read to the nearest .01 m, i.e., nearest cm) and 1.000 meter (read to the nearest millimeter). Therefore no measurement smaller than .01 m can be distinguished. 142.5 cm is 1.425 m, good to within .00001 m. 5.34 * `micro m means 5.34 * 10^-6 m, so 5.34 * 10^5 micro m means (5.34 * 10^5) * 10^-6 meters = 5.34 + 10^-1 meter, or .534 meter, accurate to within .001 m. Then theses are added you get 3.759 m; however the 1.80 m is only good to within .01 m so the result is 3.76 m. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ********************************************* Question: For University Physics students: Summarize your solution to Problem 1.31 (10th edition 1.34) (4 km on line then 3.1 km after 45 deg turn by components, verify by scaled sketch). YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Ax = 2.6 cos (90) + 4 cos (0) + 3.1 cos (45) = 6.19 Ay = 2.6 sin (90) + 4 sin (0) + 3.1 sin (45) = 4.79 After calculating out the equation, I can say that the resultant vector comes out to be <6.19, 4.79> The magnitude of the vector is sqrt(6.19^2 + 4.79^2) = 7.83km.

Given Solution: `a** THE FOLLOWING CORRECT SOLUTION WAS GIVEN BY A STUDENT: The components of vectors A (2.6km in the y direction) and B (4.0km in the x direction) are known. We find the components of vector C(of length 3.1km) by using the sin and cos functions. Cx was 3.1 km * cos(45 deg) = 2.19. Adding the x component of the second vector, 4.0, we get 6.19km. Cy was 2.19 and i added the 2.6 km y displacement of the first vector to get 4.79. So Rx = 6.19 km and Ry = 4.79 km. To get vector R, i used the pythagorean theorem to get the magnitude of vector R, which was sqrt( (6.29 km)^2 + (4.79 km)^2 ) = 7.9 km. The angle is theta = arctan(Ry / Rx) = arctan(4.79 / 6.19) = 37.7 degrees. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&*:3 "
