Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.

Answer:

to find the displacement, or delta x (change in position) on a velocity graph, you can find the area under the line on the graph: between 1 and 8 seconds, the dog was going at 5m/s, so 5m/s x 8s=40m, for the second part, you have to find the area of both a triangle and a rectangle, so the rectangle would be 5m/s x 5s=25m and the area under the triangle would be (5m/s x 5s)/2=25m/2=12.5m -you divide by 2 because it's a triangle

-afterwards, you would add the area of the 2 sections together, so 40m+25m+12.5m=77.5m
