The initial velocity of the car is 11 m/s.

Explanation:

  • Here, we can use the equations of motions.
  • The first of equation of motion is v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
  • The given parameters are,

Final velocity, v = 20 m/s

acceleration of the care, a = 2 m/s^{2}

time, t = 3 s

Initial velocity, u = ?

  • Hence, the equation can be written as u = v - at

once you substitute all these vales, you will get u = 11 m/s

<span><span>anonymous </span> 4 years ago</span>Any time you are mixing distance and acceleration a good equation to use is <span>ΔY=<span>V<span>iy</span></span>t+1/2a<span>t2</span></span> I would split this into two segments - the rise and the fall. For the fall, Vi = 0 since the player is at the peak of his arc and delta-Y is from 1.95 to 0.890. For the upward part of the motion the initial velocity is unknown and the final velocity is zero, but motion is symetrical - it takes the same amount of time to go up as it does to go down. Physiscists often use the trick "I'm going to solve a different problem, that I know will give me the same answer as the one I was actually asked.) So for the first half you could also use Vi = 0 and a downward delta-Y to solve for the time. Add the two times together for the total. The alternative is to calculate the initial and final velocity so that you have more information to work with.

The black lines that wrap themselves around a basketball represent an example of what type of geometry?
Dmitry [639]
In Euclidean geometry parallel lines never intersect. But in non-Euclidean geometry parallel lines can either curve away from each other, or curve towards each other. Example : the black lines that wrap themselves around the basketball.
Answer: B ) non-Euclidean
