Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:

 x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a          (EQUATION 1)

vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a             (EQUATION 2)

Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2

The angle of reflection is the angle the ____ to the reflecting surface.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The angle of reflection is the angle the reflected rays make with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.  

Explanation:

Reflection It is the change of direction suffered by a luminous ray when hitting the surface of an object. The angle of reflection is that which is formed by the reflected ray and the normal vector to the study surface

final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration x time) <span>
3.9 m/s = 0 m/s + (acceleration x 0.11 s) 
3.9 m/s / 0.11 s = acceleration 
30.45 m/s^2 = acceleration 

distance = (initial velocity x time) + 1/2(acceleration)(time^2) 
distance (0 m/s x 0.11 s) + 1/2(30.45 m/s^2)(0.11s ^2)

In a game of darts, the dart thrower releases the dart directly at the center of the target (the "bull’s eye") with a speed of 1
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:2.81 m

Explanation:

Given

speed(u)=13 m/s

dart strikes 0.23 m below

i.e. vertical distance traveled by dart is 0.23 m

considering dart motion similar to Projectile

h=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

0.23=0+\frac{9.8t^2}{2}

t=0.216 s

Horizontal distance travel by dart =u\times t

=13\times 0.216=2.81 m
