Problem 2.11
Please wait for the animation to completely load.
A golf ball is putted on a level, but wet, green. A top view
is shown in the animation (position is given in meters and time is given in seconds).
Restart.
- Is the velocity of the golf ball constant, increasing, or decreasing during
the interval from t = 0 to t = 5 s?
- Is the speed of the golf ball constant, increasing, or decreasing during
the interval from t = 0 to t = 5 s?
- What does the area under the velocity vs. time graph (from zero to the
curve) from t = 0 to t = 9.4 s correspond to?
- What is the ball's average acceleration between t = 0 and t = 9.4 s?
- Is the acceleration of the golf ball constant, increasing, or decreasing during
the interval from t = 0 to t = 5 s?
