MotionofTwoRockets

LearningGoal:
Tolearntouseimagesofanobjectinmotiontodetermineposition,velocity,andacceleration.

Twotoyrocketsaretravelinginthesamedirection(takentobethexaxis).Adiagramisshownofatimeexposureimagewhere
astroboscopehasilluminatedtherocketsattheuniformtimeintervalsindicated.

PartA
Atwhattime(s)dotherocketshavethesamevelocity?

Hint1.Howtodeterminethevelocity
Thediagramshowsposition,notvelocity.Youcan'tfindinstantaneousvelocityfromthisdiagram,butyoucan
determinetheaveragevelocitybetweentwotimest1 andt2 :

x(t 2 )x(t 1 )
vavg [t1 , t2 ] = .
t 2 t 1

Notethatnopositionvaluesaregiveninthediagramyouwillneedtoestimatethesebasedonthedistancebetween
successivepositionsoftherockets.

ANSWER:

attimet = 1 only

attimet = 4 only

attimest = 1 andt = 4

atsomeinstantintimebetweent = 1 andt = 4
