I believe that formula is incomplete, if it is derived from the kinematic equations.

The full formula being s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where:

s is the displacement (or how far she travelled in your question)

u is the initial velocity, which I think can be assumed to be 0 m/s

t is the time taken which is 120 s

a is the acceleration due to gravity which points down in a negative y direction, which is -9.8 m/s^{2}

Since initial velocity, u, is assumed to be 0 m/s the equation becomes:

s=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Substitute in a = -9.8m/s^{2}  and t = 120 s and calculate your answer.

Tell me what you calculate the answer to be (don't forget units) and I'll let you know if it's right.

Combine these three velocity vectors into a resultant: 3.0 m/s north, 4.0 m/s east 1.0 m/s west. Identify the resultant vector
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s

Explanation:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s west based on triangle law of vector addition, when two sides of a triangle is represented by two vectors, the resultant vector is the third side of the triangle.

The principle of work states that the ratio of work output to work input is always
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

work output is always less than work input - the ratio is less than 1.

Explanation:

This principle comes from the fact that a machine or system cannot produce more work than is supplied to it, because this would violate the energy conservation law (work is a type of mechanical energy).

In theoretical machines called "ideal machines" the input work is the same as the output work, but these machines are only theoretical because in real applications there is always some type of energy loss, either in heat produced by a machine or processes for its operation, for this reason the output work is always less than the input work.

Regarding the ratio work output to work input:

\frac{WO}{WI} < 1

because work input WI is always greater than work output WO.
