Exercise 1:

2.19: Figure 2.31 is a graph of the coordinate of a spider walking on the

x-axis. a) Graph your velocity and acceleration as a function of time.

My doubt:I don't know how to find the x (position) with the times =S so then
calculate the speed and acceleration =/ They explained it to me in this link

v=3?qid=20100124081549AANHDe3but with more troubles... isn't there a better way
Easy? =( I have to know the position equation and by deriving I obtain the equation.
From the speed and by deriving again, I obtain the equation of acceleration, but not.
I find the position equation =/

Exercise 2

My doubt:Did I do well? I understand that it reached that speed over that distance and
that the initial position and the initial velocity is 0, is that right?

Exercise 3:
2.23: Car airbags. The human body can survive an incident.
from negative acceleration trauma (sudden stop) if the magnitude of the acceleration is
less than 250 m s 2 (about 25 g.). If you suffer a car accident with

It also refers to less than the distance you would cover with that acceleration ;) it gave me the
initial speed and the speed at that point we know will be 0 ;) but I don't know if
It will be fine, correct me =)

Exercise 4:
A cat walks in a straight line on what we will call the x-axis in the positive direction.

cat and build a graph of the feline's speed as a function of time (Figure)
2.32). a) Determine the speed of the cat at t = 4.0 s and at t = 7.0 s.

My doubt:I don't know how to derive the velocity equation =/ help me.

I did it like this:

a)

At 3 seconds.

v x= v 0x+ a x * t
(20.00m)s= (20.00m)+s a* (t x- 0 s.)
(45.00m)s= (20.00m)+s a* (3xs. - 0 s.)
a x=
(25.00m)s- (20.00m) s
(3 s. - 0 s.)
a x= 0.00m s2

At 7 s.

v x= v 0x+ a x* t
(45.00m)s= (20.00m )+s a* (tx-5 s.)
(45.00m)s= (20.00m)+s a*(7seconds

a x=
(45.00m)s- (20.00m) s
(7 s.5 s.)
a x=12.5m s2
At 11 seconds.

v x = v 0x+ a x* t
(0.00m)s= (45.00m)+ a* (t x- 5 s.)
(0.00m)s= (45.00m )+s a* (11s.9

s.)

a x=
(0.00m)s- (45.00m) s
(11s.9 s.)
a x = 22.5m s2

The first 5 centuries were traversed:

x= x 0+ v x* t
x= 0.00 m.+ (20.00m)* (5 s e c o n d s . )
x=100.00 m.

The first 9 s traveled:

1

x= 280.00 m.

My doubt:I don't know why the first 13 seconds are the same to me as the first 9 seconds. =S
but boo... I hope they explain it to me and I took the x= 0m.andt0hev= 20m. 0x s
