Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Motion Diagrams
The bases on a baseball field are 90 feet apart.
A players hits a home run and gets around the bases in 20 seconds what is the players total speed?
Example Question #1 : Motion Diagrams
The bases on a baseball field are apart in a perfect square.
A player hits a home run and goes around all 4 bases. What is the total distance he travelled?
There is 90 feet between each base and distance does not depend on direction. Distance is scaler therefore, the batter travels 360 feet.
Example Question #1 : Motion Diagrams
The bases on a baseball field are 90 feet apart.
A players hits a home run and gets around the bases in 20 seconds what is the players total velocity?
Displacement is a vector. Magnitude and direction matter.
Example Question #3 : Motion Diagrams
The bases on a baseball field are apart.
A player hits a home run and runs around all four bases. What is his total displacement?
Displacement is a vector. Therefore, magnitude and direction matters and because direction matters the total displacement is 0 feet.
Example Question #11 : Motion
A ball is dropped and it hits the floor is
. How high was the ball dropped from?
We are dealing with motion in one plane and the initial velocity is zero. We must use the following kinematics equation to plug in known values and solve:
Example Question #1 : Motion Diagrams
There are between the bases on a baseball field and they make a square.
Jim hits a double and reaches second base in . What is his velocity?
Velocity is a vector so direction matters. Therefore this creates a right triangle with the two isosceles side having a velocity of . Therefore, the hypotenuse is
when you perform Pythagorean theorem.
