A record of travel along a straight path is as follows: 1. Start from rest with constant acceleration of 2.65 m/s2 for 17.0 s. 2

. Maintain a constant velocity for the next 1.60 min. 3. Apply a constant negative acceleration of −9.39 m/s2 for 4.80 s.
(a) What was the total displacement for the trip?

b) What were the average speeds for legs 1, 2, and 3 of the trip, as well as for the complete trip

Hello

Let's solve the problem in the three different steps

1) Uniformly accelerated motion, with acceleration a_1 = 2.65~m/s^2 and for a total time of t_1=17~s. The body is initially at rest, so the distance covered is given by
S= \frac{1}{2}a_1t_1^2=382.9~m
Calling v_f and v_i the final and initial velocity, and since the v_i=0~m/s because the body starts from rest, we can use
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}
to find the final velocity after this first leg:
v_{f}=v_i+a_1t_1=45~m/s
And the average velocity in this first leg is
v_1= \frac{v_f+v_i}{2}=22.5~m/s

2) Uniform motion. The velocity is constant and it is equal to the final velocity of the first leg: v_2=45~m/s. This is also the average velocity of the second leg. 
The total time of this second leg is t_2=1.60~min = 96~s. The distance covered is given by
S_2=v_2t_2=45~m/s \cdot 96~s=4320~m

3) Uniformly decelerated motion, with constant deceleration of a_3=-9.39~m/s^2 and for a total time of t_3=4.8~s. Here, the initial velocity of the body is the final velocity of the previous leg, i.e. v_i=45~m/s. Therefore, the distance covered in this leg is given by
S_3=v_i t_3 + \frac{1}{2} a_3 t^2 =107.8~m
The final velocity in this leg is given by
v_f=v_i+at=45~m/s-9.39~m/s^2 \cdot 4.8~s = -0.07~m/s
The negative sign means that after decelerating, the body has started to go in the opposite direction. Similarly to step 1, the average velocity in this leg is given by
v_3 =  \frac{1}{2}(v_f+v_i)=  \frac{1}{2}(-0.07~m/s+45~m/s)=  22.5~m/s

4) Finally, the total distance covered in the motion is
S=S_1+S_2+S_3=382.9~m+4320~m+107.8~m=4810.7~m
To find the average velocity, we must "weigh" the average velocity of each leg for the correspondent time of that leg:
v_{ave}= \frac{v_1t_1+v_2t_2+v_3t_3}{t_1+t_2+t_3}=40.8~m/s

Help me calculate the kinetic energy (just the middle column) ASAP! SHOW WORK! ON PAPER
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

I can tell you what the answers for the middle column are, but if you don't know how to solve total energy problems, they won't make any sense to you at all.

First row, KE = 0

Second row, KE = 220500 J

Third row, KE = 183750 J

Fourth row, KE = 205800 J

That's also not paying any attention to significant digits because your velocity only had 1 and that's not enough to do the problem justice. I left all the digits in the answer. Round how your teacher tells you to.
