Answer:
Time elapsed
Explanation:
Acceleration is a vector quantity. It is defined as:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time elapsed
Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). It must be noticed that acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction. In particular:
- when acceleration is negative, it means that the object is slowing down, so acceleration is in opposite direction to the velocity
- when acceleration is positive, it means that the object is speeding up, so acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity
Answer:
Time, t = 8 seconds
Explanation:
An object is thrown upward from the top of a 128-foot building with an initial velocity of 112 feet per second. The height h as a function of time t is given by :
We need to find the time when the object will hit the ground. When it will hit the ground, h = 0
So,
On solving the above quadratic equation, we get the value of t = 8 seconds. So, after 8 seconds the object will hit the ground. Hence, this is the required solution.
