Explanation:
a) Given in the y direction (taking down to be positive):
Δy = 50 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 10 m/s²
Find: t
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
50 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²
t = 3.2 s
b) Given in the x direction:
v₀ = 12 m/s
a = 0 m/s²
t = 3.2 s
Find: Δx
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δx = (12 m/s) (3.2 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.2 s)²
Δx = 38 m
It's average speed during that 26 seconds was about 4.77 m/s. Without seeing the graph, we can't tell if it was going faster or slower at any particular time during that period. All we can tell is its average for the full interval.
