<em>v</em>² - <em>u</em>² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

where <em>u</em> = initial velocity (27 m/s), <em>v</em> = final velocity (0), <em>a</em> = acceleration (-8 m/s², taken to be negative because we take direction of movement to be positive), and ∆<em>x</em> = stopping distance.

So

0² - (27 m/s)² = 2 (-8 m/s²) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = (27 m/s)² / (16 m/s²)

∆<em>x</em> ≈ 45.6 m

A lawyer drives from her​ home, located 88 milesmiles east and 1818 milesmiles north of the town​ courthouse, to her​ office, lo
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

the distance between the​ lawyer's home and her office is 124 miles

Explanation:

given information:

first lets assume that

x-axis (west = positive, east = negative)

y-axis (north = positive, south = negative)

thus,

distance of the house = (-88,18)

distance of the office = (13, -54)

thus, the distance between the​ lawyer's home and her office

R = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

   = √(13 - (-88))² + (-54 -18)²

   = 124 miles

a shell fired from a cannon at 60 ° from horizontal strikes a target 20m high at a distance 80m. Calculate the initial velocity
stich3 [128]

consider the motion along the X-direction

X = horizontal displacement = 80 m

V_{ox} = initial velocity along the x-direction = v Cos60

t = time of travel

using the equation

X = V_{ox}   t

80 = (v Cos60) (t)

t = 160/v                                         eq-1


consider the motion in vertical direction :

Y = vertical displacement = 20 m

V_{oy}  = initial velocity in Y-direction = v Sin60

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 160/v

using the equation

Y = V_{oy}  t + (0.5) a t²

20 = (v Sin60) (160/v) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (160/v)²

v = 32.5 m/s
