18:29:55 `q001. Note that there are 9 questions in this assignment. Using the equation vf = v0 + a * `dt determine the acceleration of an object whose velocity increases at a uniform rate from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 15 seconds. Begin by solving the equation for the acceleration a, then 'plug in' your initial and final velocities. Describe your work step y step.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> vf=v0+a*'dt v0=10m/s vf=30m/s 'dt=15s 30m/s=10m/s+a*15s first you need to subtract 10m/s from each side 20m/s=a15s next we need to divide 15s from each side 1.33m/s/s=a confidence assessment: 3

18:31:49 The equation vf = v0 + a * `dt is solved for a by first adding -v0 to both sides to obtain vf - v0 = v0 + a * `dt - v0, which simplifies to vf - v0 = a * `dt. Both sides are then divided by `dt to obtain (vf - v0) / `dt = a. Reversing left-and right-hand sides we obtain the formula a = (vf - v0) / `dt. We then plug in our given values of initial and final velocities and the time interval. Since velocity increases from 10 m/s to 30 m/s, initial velocity is v0 = 10 m/s and final velocity is vf = 30 m/s. The time interval `dt is 15 seconds, so we have a = (30 m/s - 10 m/s) / (15 s) = 20 m/s / (15 s) = 1.33.. m/s^2.

18:36:07 `q002. It wasn't necessary to use a equation to solve this problem. How could this problem had been reasoned out without the use of an equation?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> im not really good without my equations but im going to guess that we could use a flow chart to get this answer and that would show us how the change in time is directly associated with the average aceleration via the average velocity which ties in the change in displacement the final velocity is tied to the average velocity while bringing in the initial velocity finishing with the change in the velocity. confidence assessment: 0

18:45:23 `q003. Use the equation `ds = (vf + v0) / 2 * `dt to determine the initial velocity of an object which accelerates uniformly through a distance of 80 meters in 10 seconds, ending up at a velocity of 6 meters / sec. begin by solving the equation for the desired quantity. Show every step of your solution.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 'ds=(vf+v0)/2*'dt v0=? 'ds=80m 'dt=10s vf=6m/s 80m=(6m/s+v0)/2*10s well lets start by dividing both sides by 10 8m/s=(6m/s+v0)/2 now we will multiply 2 on both sides 16m/s=(6m/s+v0) now we will subtract both sides by 6m/s 10m/s=v0 confidence assessment: 2

......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:46:03 We begin by solving the equation for v0. Starting with `ds = (vf + v0) / 2 * `dt, we can first multiply both sides of the equation by 2 / `dt, which gives us `ds * 2 / `dt = (vf + v0) / 2 * `dt * 2 / `dt. The right-hand side can be rearranged to give (vf + v0) * `dt / `dt * 2 / 2; since `dt / `dt = 1 and 2 / 2 = 1 the right-hand side becomes just vf + v0. The equation therefore becomes 2 * `ds / `dt = vf + v0. Adding -vf to both sides we obtain v0 = 2 * `ds / `dt - vf. We now plug in `ds = 80 meters, `dt = 10 sec and vf = 6 m/s to get v0 = 2 * 80 meters / 10 sec - 6 m/s = 160 meters / 10 sec - 6 m/s = 16 m/s - 6 m/s = 10 m/s.

18:53:38 `q004. We can reconcile the above solution with straightforward reasoning. How could the initial velocity have been reasoned out from the given information without the use of an equation? Hint: two of the quantities given in the problem can be combined to give another important quantity, which can then be combined with the third given quantity to reason out the final velocity.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> well the change in displacement divided by the chagne in time gives us the aAve. the aAve =(vf+v0)/2. and solve confidence assessment:

18:55:46 The average velocity of the object is the average rate at which its position changes, which is equal to the 80 meters change in position divided by the 10 s change in clock time, or 80 meters / 10 sec = 8 meters / sec. Since the 8 m/s average velocity is equal to the average of the unknown initial velocity and the 6 m/s final velocity, we ask what quantity when average with 6 m/s will give us 8 m/s. Knowing that the average must be halfway between the two numbers being averaged, we see that the initial velocity must be 10 m/s. That is, 8 m/s is halfway between 6 m/s and 10 m/s.

19:07:53 `q005. Using the equation `ds = v0 `dt + .5 a `dt^2 determine the initial velocity of an object which accelerates uniformly at -2 m/s^2, starting at some unknown velocity, and is displaced 80 meters in 10 seconds. Begin by solving the equation for the unknown quantity and show every step.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 'ds=v0'dt+.5a'dt^2 v0=? a=-2m/s^2 'ds=80 'dt=10s 80m=v0*10s+.5(2m/s^s)(10s^2) 80m=v0*10s+100m/s divide both sides by 10 8m/s=v0+100m/s

......!!!!!!!!...................................
19:09:18 The unknown quantity is the initial velocity v0. To solve for v0 we start with `ds = v0 `dt + .5 a `dt^2. We first add -.5 a `dt^2 to both sides to obtain `ds - .5 a `dt^2 = v0 `dt. We then divide both sides by `dt to obtain (`ds - .5 a `dt^2) / `dt = v0. Then we substitute the given displacement `ds = 80 meters, acceleration a = -2 m/s^2 and time interval `dt = 10 seconds to obtain v0 = [ 80 meters - .5 * (-2 m/s^2) * (10 sec)^2 ] / (10 sec) = [ 80 meters - .5 * (-2 m/s^2) * 100 s^2 ] / (10 sec) = [ 80 m - (-100 m) ] / (10 sec) = 180 m / (10 s) = 18 m/s.

19:45:12 `q006. Check the consistency of this result by verifying, by direct reasoning rather than equations, that an object whose initial velocity is 18 m/s and which accelerates for 10 seconds at an acceleration of -2 m/s^2 does indeed experience a displacement of 80 meters.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> i dont like direct reasoning! i like equations! my mind wont wrap around the direct reasoning because to say aAve is the change in velocity divided by time and that means -2=x/10 multiple by 10 = -20=x and then that makes no sense but vAve is the final -the intial velocity and thats -20=x-18 so adding 18 we get 38 for vf and thats not right so i don't like direct reasoning i love equations though lets not mess with success k :-) confidence assessment: 0

......!!!!!!!!...................................
19:45:55 The change in the velocity of the object will be -2 m/s^2 * 10 s = -20 m/s. The object will therefore have a final velocity of 18 m/s - 20 m/s = -2 m/s. Its average velocity will be the average (18 m/s + (-2 m/s) ) / 2 = 8 m/s. An object which travels at an average velocity of 8 m/s for 10 sec will travel 80 meters.

19:53:39 `q007. Using the equation vf^2 = v0^2 + 2 a `ds determine the initial velocity of an object which attains a final velocity of 20 meters/second after accelerating uniformly at 2 meters/second^2 through a displacement of 80 meters. Begin by solving the equation for the unknown quantity and show every step.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> vf^2=vo^2+2a'ds v0=? vf=20m/s a=2m/s^2 'ds=80m 20m/s^2=vo^2+2(2m/s^2)(80) 400=v0^2+320 sub 320 from ea side 80=v0^2 square root both sides 8.9m/s=v0 confidence assessment: 2

19:53:56 To solve for the unknown initial velocity v0 we start with vf^2 = v0^2 + 2 a `ds. We first add -2 a `ds to both sides to obtain vf^2 - 2 a `ds = v0^2. We then reverse the right-and left-hand sides and take the square root of both sides, obtaining v0 = +- `sqrt( vf^2 - 2 a `ds). We then substitute the given quantities vf = 20 m/s, `ds = 80 m and a = 3 m/s^2 to obtain v0 = +- `sqrt( (20 m/s)^2 - 2 * 2 m/s^2 * 80 m) = +- `sqrt( 400 m^2 / s^2 - 320 m^2 / s^2) = +- `sqrt(80 m^2 / s^2) = +- 8.9 m/s (approx.).

19:59:19 `q008. We can verify that starting at +8.9 m/s an object which attains a final velocity of 20 m/s while displacing 80 meters must accelerate at 2 m/s^2. In this case the average velocity will be ( 8.9 m/s + 20 m/s) / 2 = 14.5 m/s (approx) and the change in velocity will be 20 m/s - 8.9 m/s = 11.1 m/s. At average velocity 14.5 meters/second the time required to displace the 80 meters will be 80 m / (14.5 sec) = 5.5 sec (approx). The velocity change of 11.1 meters/second in 5.5 sec implies an average acceleration of 11.1 m/s / (5.5 sec) = 2 m/s^2 (approx), consistent with our results. Verify that starting at -8.9 m/s the object will also have acceleration 2 meters/second^2 if it ends up at velocity 20 m/s while displacing 80 meters.

20:00:00 In this case the average velocity will be ( -8.9 m/s + 20 m/s) / 2 = 5.5 m/s (approx) and the change in velocity will be 20 m/s - (-8.9 m/s) = 28.9 m/s (approx). At average velocity 5.5 meters/second the time required to displace the 80 meters will be 80 m / (5.5 sec) = 14.5 sec (approx). The velocity change of 28.5 meters/second in 14.5 sec implies an average acceleration of 28.5 m/s / (14.5 sec) = 2 m/s^2 (approx), again consistent with our results.

20:02:46 `q009. Describe in commonsense terms the motion of the object in this example if its initial velocity is indeed -8.9 m/s. Assume that the object starts at the crossroads between two roads running North and South, and East and West, respectively, and that the object ends up 80 meters North of the crossroads. In what direction does it start out, what happens to its speed, and how does it end up where it does?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> well obviously the original motion of the object is reverse. then forward confidence assessment: 0

......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:09:02 The object ends up at position +80 meters, which is assumed to be 80 meters to the North. Its initial velocity is -8.9 m/s, with the - sign indicating that the initial velocity is in the direction opposite to the displacement of the object. So the object must start out moving to the South at 8.9 meters/second. Its acceleration is +2 m/s^2, which is in the opposite direction to its initial velocity. This means that the velocity of the object changes by +2 m/s every second. After 1 second the velocity of the object will therefore be -8.9 m/s + 2 m/s = -6.9 m/s. After another second the velocity will be -6.9 m/s + 2 m/s = -4.9 m/s. After another second the velocity will be -2.9 m/s, after another -.9 m/s, and after another -.9 m/s + 2 m/s = +1.1 m/s. The speed of the object must therefore decrease, starting at 8.9 m/s (remember speed is always positive because speed doesn't have direction) and decreasing to 6.9 m/s, then 4.9 m/s, etc. until it reaches 0 for an instant, and then starts increasing again. Since velocities after that instant become positive, the object will therefore start moving to the North immediately after coming to a stop, picking up speed at 2 m/s every second. This will continue until the object has attained a velocity of +20 meters/second and has displaced +80 meters from its initial position.{}{}It is important to understand that it is possible for velocity to be in one direction and acceleration in the other. In this case the initial velocity is negative while the acceleration is positive. If this continues long enough the velocity will reach zero, then will become positive.
