Part A
Free fall motion
h = 3.1 m
Equation: Vf = √(2gh) = √(2*9.8 m/s^2 * 3.1 m) = 7.8 m/s
That is the only part in the question.
According to the position vs time graph, the <em>average</em> <em>velocity</em> of the motorcycle is the change in position divided by the change in time. Also, note that the slope is linear and positive throughout the 5 hours, it doesn't change direction.
Therefore, we have
Avg velocity = change in direction/change in time
Avg velocity = (150km - 30km)/(5h - 0h)
Avg velocity = 24km/hr south.
No
For example a rock was broken into one big and one little piece. The properties of these 2 pieces are still the same even though they have different shapes.
