Particle Motion: Slide 1-7 The picture above is made with a stroboscope (a light that flashes at regular time intervals) made at two frames of film per second, of a ball rolling along a track. The track has a 3.0-m-long sticky section. a.Make a position-versus-time graph for the ball. Because you have data only at certain instants of time, your graph should consist of dots that are not connected together. b.What is the change in the ball’s position from t = 0 s to t = 1.0 s? c. What is the change in the ball’s position from t = 2.0 s to t = 4.0 s? d. What is the ball’s velocity before reaching the sticky section? e. What is the ball’s velocity after passing the sticky section? f. Determine the ball’s acceleration on the sticky section of the track.
