For an object starting from rest and accelerating with constant acceleration, distance traveled is proportional to the square of

the time. if an object travels 2.0 furlongs in the first 2.0 s, how far will it travel in the first 4.0 s?

The problem states that the distance travelled (d) is directly proportional to the square of time (t^2), therefore we can write this in the form of:

d = k t^2

where k is the constant of proportionality in furlongs / s^2

 

<span>Using the 1st condition where d = 2 furlongs, t = 2 s, we calculate for the value of k:</span>

2 = k (2)^2

k = 2 / 4

k = 0.5 furlongs / s^2

The equation becomes:

d = 0.5 t^2

 

Now solving for d when t = 4:

d = 0.5 (4)^2

d = 0.5 * 16

<span>d = 8 furlongs</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>It traveled 8 furlongs for the first 4.0 seconds.</span>

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

\Delta t = 0.1 s

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

T = 52 \times 0.1s

T = 5.2 s
