Answer:
A. speed = 7.14 Km/s
B. distance = 1820.7 Km
Explanation:
Given that: a = 14.0 m/, t = 8.50 minutes.
But,
t = 8.50 = 8.50 x 60
= 510 seconds
A. By applying the first equation of motion, the speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minutes can be determined by;
v = u + at
where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.
u = 0
So that,
v = 14 x 510
= 7140 m/s
The speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minute is 7.14 Km/s.
B. the distance traveled can be determined by applying second equation of motion.
s = ut + a
where: s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.
u = 0
s = a
= x 14 x
= 7 x 260100
= 1820700 m
The distance that the shuttle has traveled during the given time is 1820.7 Km.
The butterfly takes a vertical perpendicular path equivalent to 9m and travels a horizontal distance of 17m. The net path between the two is equivalent to that of the hypotenuse, so we will apply the Pythagorean theorem.
Therefore the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement is 9m
