I need to find the area again to see the review of my work.

I think the above is a request for the link to your access page. I've emailed that.

If I've misinterpreted, then please clarify so I can answer.

Intro Prob 6 Intro Prob 6 How do you find final velocity and displacement given initial velocity, acceleration and time interval?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

First displacement must be found

ds= v0*dt+.5a*dt

After finding displacement, the Vave can be found

vAve= ds/dt

Next, is finding the dV

vAve*dt= dv

Velocity Finval is finally found.

vf= v0+dv

** To find final velocity from the given quantities initial velocity, acceleration and `dt:

Multiply `dt by accel to get `dv.

Then add change in velocity `dv to init vel , and you have the final velocity**

I understand this way, but would the way i explained work as well?

self critique assessment: 3

You solution is very good and would work just fine.

However the given solution doesn't use equations as much as direct reasoning from the definitions.

Both methods of solution are equally important.

Describe the flow diagram we obtain for the situation in which we know v0, vf and `dt.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

what are you asking for the flow digram to find?

confidence assessment: 0

The flow diagram reasons out everything possible from the given information.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

11:53:32

** The flow diagram shows us the flow of information, what we get from what, usually by combining two quantites at a time. How we get each quantity may also be included.

From vf and v0 we get `dv, shown by lines from vf and v0 at the top level to `dv. From vf and v0 we also get and vAve, shown by similar lines running from v0 and vf to vAve.

Then from vAve and `dt we get `ds, with the accompanying lines indicating from vAve and `dt to `ds, while from `dv and `dt we get acceleration, indicated similarly. **

Principles of Physics and General College Physics Students: Prob. 1.26: Estimate how long it would take a runner at 10 km / hr to run from New York to California. Explain your solution thoroughly.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

It is roughly 3500km from NY to Ca

3500km*10km/hr= 35000km/?hr

35000/60 =583.33hrs or 24 days for the runner to run from NY to Ca.

It is about 3000 miles from coast to coast. A km is about .62 mile, so 3000 miles * 1 km / (.62 miles) = 5000 km, approximately.

At 10 km / hr, the time required would be 5000 km / (10 km / hr) = 500 km / (km/hr) = 500 km * (hr / km) = 500 (km / km) * hr = 500 hr.

All Students: Estimate the number heartbeats in a lifetime. What assumptions did you make to estimate the number of heartbeats in a human lifetime, and how did you obtain your final result?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I estimated that the heart would beat approximately 3,000,000,000 beats in a lifetime

average person lives to about 75 (27375 days)

I asumed that the average heartbeat was 75beats/min

75*60min= 4500beats/hr

4500 * 24hr= 108000 beats/ day

108000* 27375 days = aprox. 3,000,000,000 beats/lifetime

confidence assessment: 3

12:29:48

** Typical assumptions: At 70 heartbeats per minute, with a lifetime of 80 years, we have 70 beats / minute * 60 minutes/hour * 24 hours / day * 365 days / year * 80 years = 3 billion, approximately. **

University Physics Students Only: Problem 1.52 (i.e., Chapter 1, Problem 52): Angle between -2i+6j and 2i - 3j. What angle did you obtain between the two vectors?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:30:27

** For the given vectors we have

dot product =-2 * 2 + 6 * (-3) = -22

magnitude of first vector = sqrt( (-2)^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(40)

magnitude of second vector = sqrt( 2^2 + (-3)^2 ) = sqrt(13)

Since dot product = magnitude of 1 st vector * magnitude of 2d vector * cos(theta) we have

cos(theta) = dot product / (magnitude of 1 st vector * magnitude of 2d vector) so that

theta = arccos [ dot product / (magnitude of 1 st vector * magnitude of 2d vector) ]

= arccos[ -22 / ( sqrt(40) * sqrt(13) ) ] = arccos ( -.965) = 164 degrees, approx.. **

** I had to get a little help from a friend on vectors, but now I think I understand them. They are not as difficult to deal with as I thought. **

They aren't that bad, but note that the questions on vectors in this assignment are for Univeristy Physics students. You will deal with vectors later in this course. If you know how to work with them at this point, then you're actually ahead of the game.
