A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in: 2 seconds
Answer:
2.4 m
Explanation:
From the question above,
Applying equation of motion,
s = ut+at²/2....................... Equation 1
Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.
make s the subject of the equation,
Given: a = 1.8 m/s², t = 2 seconds, u = 0 m/s (from rest)
Substitute these value into equation 1
s = 0(2)+1.8(2²)/2
s = 1.2(4)/2
s = 2.4 m.
Hence she has traveled 2.4 m
Question: What happens to potential energy when a skier goes down the hill?
Answer: Decrease
Explanation: As the skier begins the descent down the hill potential energy is lost and kinetic energy is going to start acting

This one is also using pre-conventional moral reasoning.
Answer:
The distance the piece travel in horizontally axis is
L=3.55m
Explanation:





Now the angular velocity is the blade speed so:
assuming no air friction effects affect blade piece:
time for blade piece to fall to floor

Now is the same time the piece travel horizontally

blade piece travels HORIZONTALLY = (24.5)(0.397) = 9.73 m ANS
