The motion diagram below shows the positions of two people walking across the South Oval. The positions are given at equally spaced times to, t, t2, etc. These times are the same for each person, of course. Both people are already moving as shown at to = 0 sec, when we start timing. The x-axis points East and the point x = 0 is at the entrance to Lin Hall, the home of OU's Center for Quantum Research and Technology. (You are looking North; East is to the right.) The interval between each successive time is At = 6.9 seconds and the distance between the vertical marks on the x-axis is Ax = 6.6 meters. At what position on the x-axis, measured from x = 0, do the two people meet? Give your answer in meters to at least 3 significant figures to avoid being counted off due to rounding. Do not include the units (meters) in your answer. to x=0 t4 t t3 t4 t3 t2 t to The motion diagram below shows the positions of two people walking across the South Oval.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To find the position on the xaxis where the two people meet we need to figure out their speeds and the point at which their paths intersect Both peopl... View the full answer
