Question

Ariel and Jackson are playing miniature golf. Ariel's ball rolls into a long, straight upward incline with a speed of 3.054 m/s and accelerates at -0.7762 m/s/s for 1.51 seconds until it reaches the top of the incline and then continues along an elevated section. Determine the length of the incline.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length is $s = 3.73 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The speed is  $v = 3.054 \ m/s$

  The acceleration $a = -0.7762 m/s^2$

   The time taken is  $t = 1.51 \ s$

     

Generally from kinematics equation the length of the inclined plane is mathematically represented as

         $s =ut + \frac{1}{2} * at^2$

=>      $s = 3.054 *1.51 + \frac{1}{2} * (-0.7762) *(1.51)^2$

=>   $s = 3.73 \ m$
