Answer:
Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Final velocity, v = 12m/s
Time, t = 5 seconds
Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²
To find the initial velocity, we would use the first equation of motion.
Where;
V is the final velocity.
U is the initial velocity.
a is the acceleration.
t is the time measured in seconds.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
12 = U + 1.5*5
12 = U + 7.5
U = 12 - 7.5
Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s
If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:
d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km
So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.
d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km
So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.
