Transcript text: Time a:
Estimate the rise and run.
rise 800
run 0.001
Compute the acceleration at time a. (Use your estimates.) $800,000 \sim \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
Time b:
Estimate the rise and run.
rise $0 \quad$ Your value is acceptable. $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
run $0.001 \quad s$
Compute the acceleration at time b. (Use your estimates.)
$0 \quad \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
Time c:
Estimate the rise and run.
rise $\square$ Your value is acceptable. $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
run $\square$ $\times 5$
Compute the acceleration at time c. (Use your estimates.)
$\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate acceleration at time a
The rise is approximately 800 m/s and the run is 0.001 s. Acceleration is rise/run.
