Answer:
1.7 m/s²
Explanation:
d = length of the ramp = 13.5 m
v₀ = initial speed of the skateboarder = 0 m/s
v = final speed of the skateboarder = 7.37 m/s
a = acceleration
Using the equation
v² = v₀² + 2 a d
7.37² = 0² + 2 a (13.5)
a = 2.01 m/s²
θ = angle of the incline relative to ground = 29.9
a' = Component of acceleration parallel to the ground
Component of acceleration parallel to the ground is given as
a' = a Cosθ
a' = 2.01 Cos29.9
a' = 1.7 m/s²
The answer is evolution. When a specifies evolves over time they change and adapt to their environment.
I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.
Distance = Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m
