Answer:
12.0 meters
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a₁ = 0.281 m/s²
t₁ = 5.44 s
a₂ = 1.43 m/s²
t₂ = 2.42 s
Find: x
First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.
v = at + v₀
v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s
v = 1.53 m/s
Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²
x = 4.16 m
Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²
x = 12.0 m
Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)
change in angular speed = (zero - 2,600 RPM) = -2,600 RPM
time for the change = 10 sec
Angular acceleration = -2600 RPM / 10 sec = -260 rev / min-sec
(-260 rev/min-sec) x (1 min / 60 sec) = <em>-(4 1/3) rev / sec²</em>
Since the acceleration is negative, the motor is slowing down.
You might call that a 'deceleration' of (4 1/3) rev/sec² .
The average speed is 1/2(2,600 + 0) = 1,300 rev/min = (21 2/3) rev/sec.
Number of revs = (average speed) x (time) = (21 2/3) x (10sec) = <em>(216 2/3) revs</em>

I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to 9.8 meters per second squared. You can see that all things fall at this rate if there is no air resistance in a system or when in a vacuum.
