b) resistance = current ∙ voltage
Mechanics and Thermodynamics

Task 4
The figure shows the body's position as a function of time in the (t,x) coordinate system.
a) Describe the movement verbally.
b) Calculate the displacement of the body between 0...3 s.
c) Calculate the distance traveled by the object between 0...3 s.
d) Calculate the average velocity of the body between 0...3 s.
e) Calculate the average speed of the body between 0...3 s
f) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the body at time t = 1.0s.

Task 5
The car's speed increases from 60 to 90 km/h in 6.1 seconds.
Calculate the average acceleration of the car.
Mechanics and Thermodynamics

Task 6
The table shows the acceleration in certain time intervals. Initial velocity v(0s) = 0 m/s. Draw a
graph showing
a) acceleration as a function of time
b) speed as a function of time

a) the acceleration of the aircraft,
b) time taken to stop.

Task 8
