An insect crawls on the floor along the curved path shown in the figure below. The insect's positions and velocities are indicated for times t, = 0 and t,= 4.80 s. (Note the insect's initial velocity at t, in the +y-direction and its final velocity at t, is in the +x-direction.) y (m) 0.350 Uf = = 0.150 m/s v = 0.150 m/s 0.150 0.100 x (m) 0.390 Find the x- and y-components of the insect's displacement, average velocity, and average acceleration between the two times. (Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.) (a) displacement (in m) Ax => X How is displacement along a given axis related to the initial and final positions along that axis? m Ay = x How is displacement along a given axis related to the initial and final positions along that axis? m (b) average velocity (in m/s) Vav, x Vav, Y = X What is the displacement in the x-direction? How much time has elapsed? How is average velocity related to displacement and time? m/s X What is the displacement in the y-direction? How much time has elapsed? How is average velocity related to displacement and time? m/s (c) average acceleration (in m/s) aav, x a av, Y = = What is the final x-component of the velocity? If the initial velocity is in the y-direction, what is the initial x-component of velocity? How is average acceleration related to initial and final velocity? m/s X If the final velocity is in the x-direction, what is the final y-component of velocity? What is the initial y-component of the velocity? How is average acceleration related to initial and final velocity? m/s Need Help? Read It
