According to ptolemy's model of the movement of celestial bodies,
a. the earth rotates around the sun.
b. the sun is the center of the universe.
c. the earth rotates around the moon.
d. planets orbit in circular paths around the earth.

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 13 m/s in a period of 2 s. what is your acceleration?

Newtons view of arrangement of the universe

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.
