An object, initially at rest moves 250m in 17s. What is it's acceleration?

1 answer:

8 0

With the values you've given, only velocity can be found.
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity

d= 250s
t= 17s

a= d/t
= $\frac{250}{17}$
= 4.7 $\frac{m}{s}$

Answer: 6.45 s

Explanation:

We have the following equation:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the height when the rock hits the ground

$y_{o}=75 m$ the height at the edge of the cilff

$V_{o}=20 m/s$ the initial velocity

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ acceleration due gravity

$t$ time

$0=75 m+(20 m/s)t-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^{2}$ (2)

Rearranging the equation:

$-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^{2} + (20 m/s)t + 75 m=0$ (3)

At this point we have a quadratic equation of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , and we have to use the quadratic formula if we want to find $t$ :

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (4)

Where $a=-4.9$ , $b=20$ , $c=75$

Substituting the known values and choosing the positive result of the equation:

$t=\frac{-20\pm\sqrt{20^{2}-4(-4.9)(75)}}{2(-4.9)}$ (5)

$t=6.453 s$ This is the time it takes to the rock to hit the ground
