solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

Can a body have increasing velocity with decreasing acceleration?
Sergio039 [100]
Sure.  The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.

I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration.  That answer isn't simple either.

If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.

BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.

I know that's confusing. 

-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge.  Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative. 

-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction.  Those are the directions of the
velocities.

-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.

When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.

If the average speed of a person was 1.2 meters/second, does this mean that their speed was exactly 1.2 meters/second the whole
alexandr1967 [171]

Average speed is defined by the following formula

v = \frac{D}{t}

here

D = total distance that an object move from its initial position to final position

t = total time of the motion

so here we will say that there is no such relation between initial or final speed or we can say maximum or minimum speed of object with average speed of object.

We only need to find the total distance and total time of motion in order to find the average speed

here we can see many examples like let say an object moves with speed v1 for time t1 and then with speed v2 for time t2 then here average speed is given as

d = v_1 t_1 + v_2t_2

since we know that distance covered is product of speed and time

that's why we used above equation for finding total distance

now the average speed will be

v_{avg} = \frac{v_1t_1 + v_2 t_2}{t_1 + t_2}

so this is how we can find the average speed for above motion

so average speed is always between maximum and minimum speed any value in-between.

It is neither the maximum value nor it is minimum value

A 1500 kg truck traveling at 80 km/h collides with another car of mass 1000 kg traveling at 30 km/h in the same direction. The t
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Their speed immediately after the collision is 60 km/h

Explanation:

The magnitude that characterizes the state of motion of a body is called the quantity of motion. The momentum of a particle of mass m moving with velocity v is defined as the product of mass and velocity:

p=m*v

Newton's second law states that to accelerate an object you must apply a force to it. In other words, to change the moment of an object, an impulse must be applied to it, an impulse that is produced by a force. In both cases there is an external agent that exerts the force or the impulse, the internal forces are not considered. When the force  net is zero, so the net momentum is zero, and therefore there is no change in total momentum. Then it can be stated that if a net force is not exerted on a system, the total moment of the system cannot change.

In summary, the principle of conservation of linear momentum, also known as the principle of conservation of momentum, states that if the resultant of the forces acting on a body or system is zero, its momentum remains constant in time.

Then before collision, the momentum of truck is  1,500 kg*80 km/h = 120,000 kg.km/h  and the momentum of car is  1,000 kg* 30 km/h = 30,000 kg.km/h

So, the total momentum before collision is  120,000 kg*km/h+ 30,000 kg*km/h = 150,000 kg.km/h

The two cars stick together after the collision. This means that the speed V of both is the same. Therefore, the momentum after collision is  

V*(1,500 kg + 1,000 kg)  = V*2,500 kg

Applying the law of conservation of momentum, that it states that the total momentum of two objects before collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after collision., you get:

150,000 kg.km/h= V*2,500 kg

Solving:

V=\frac{ 150,000 kg.km/h}{2,500 kg}

V= 60 km/h

<u><em>Their speed immediately after the collision is 60 km/h</em></u>
