Answer:

a) 0 m/s

b) - 24 m/s

c)  - 68 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial distance = - 4 m

Initial velocity, u = 4 m/s

1) acceleration, a = - 2 m/s² for time, t = 2 seconds

thus,

velocity after 2 seconds will be

from Newton's equation of motion

v = u + at

v = 4 + (-2) × 2

v = 0 m/s

2) Velocity after 2 second is the initial velocity for this case

given acceleration = - 6 m/s² for 4 seconds

thus,

final velocity, v = 0 + ( - 6 ) × 4 = - 24 m/s

here the negative sign depicts the velocity in opposite direction to the initial direction of motion

thus, velocity after 6 seconds = - 24 m/s

3) Now,

Total displacement in 6 seconds

= Displacement in 2 seconds + Displacement in 4 seconds

From Newton's equation of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

s is the distance

u is the initial speed  

a is the acceleration

t is the time

thus,

= 0\times2+\frac{1}{2}\times(-2)\times2^2  + 0\times4+\frac{1}{2}\times-6\times4^2

= - 16 - 48

= - 64 m

Hence, the final displacement = - 64 - 4 = - 68 m

A 25kg box fell 200m with an acceleration of 5 m/s2. with what force did it hit the floor when it landed?
Marizza181 [45]
According to Newton's Second Law of motion, the net force acting on the object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. In formula, it is written as

Net Force =mass * acceleration
Net force = 25 kg * 5m/s^2
Net force = 125 Newtons
