The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is
1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m
Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as
<em>v</em> (ave) = ∆<em>x</em> / ∆<em>t</em>
and under constant acceleration,
<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>v</em> (final) + <em>v</em> (initial)) / 2
According to the plot, with ∆<em>t</em> = 4.0 s, we have <em>v</em> (initial) = 0 and <em>v</em> (final) = 10.0 m/s, so
∆<em>x</em> / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2
∆<em>x</em> = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2
∆<em>x</em> = 20.00 m
Answer:
(B) 13.9 m
(C) 1.06 s
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 5.2 m/s
y₀ = 12.5 m
(A) The acceleration in free fall is -9.8 m/s².
(B) At maximum height, v = 0 m/s.
v² = v₀² + 2aΔy
(0 m/s)² = (5.2 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 12.5 m)
y = 13.9 m
(C) When the shell returns to a height of 12.5 m, the final velocity v is -5.2 m/s.
v = at + v₀
-5.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.2 m/s
t = 1.06 s
