Answer:
The student is getting different info bc the students probable keeping track of the distance instead of the displacement.
Explanation:
Answer:
Displacement
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Kinematics</u>
- Displacement vs Total Distance
Explanation:
Displacement is the difference between the start position and end position.
Total Distance is the entire distance <em>traveled</em> between the start and end position.

2000÷330=6.06 repatant so the answer would be about 6.06 seconds
The second runner must run 3.3m/s. If the leading runner is 1.5 seconds ahead and there are 30m left, the second runner would need to run slightly faster than the lead in order to finish at the same time. To calculate this I did 30/1.5 which gave me 0.05. I added this onto the speed of the lead runner to get 3.3m/s :)
When firing straight up:
v^2 = u^2 - 2gh, where v = final velocity = 0, u = initial velocity, g = gravitational acceleration, h = maximum height attained.
Then,
0 = u^2 - 2gh
u = Sqrt (2gh) ---- (1)
When firing at 45°,
Initial velocity, U = u Sin 45 = Sqrt (2gh)·Sin 45
Maximum height, H = U^2*(Sin Ф)^2/2g
substituting;
H = [Sqrt (2gh)·Sin 45]^2*(Sin 45)^2]/2g
H = [2gh*(Sin 45)^2*(Sin 45)^2]/2g
H = [h*(Sin 45)^4] = h/4
Therefore, maximum height when the gun fires at 45° is a quarter of maximum height when the gun fires vertically up.
