D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.
(a) The average speed from A to B would be 1.76 metre per second and the average velocity from A to B would also be 1.76 metre per second
<span>(b) The average speed from A to C would be 1.73 metre per second and the average velocity from A to C would be 0.87 metre per second</span>
Answer:
Refer to the attachment for solution (1).
<h3><u>Calculating time taken by it to stop (t) :</u></h3>
By using the second equation of motion,
→ v = u + at
- v denotes final velocity
- u denotes initial velocity
- t denotes time
- a denotes acceleration
→ 0 = 5 + (-5/6)t
→ 0 = 5 - (5/6)t
→ 0 + (5/6)t = 5
→ (5/6)t = 5
→ t = 5 ÷ (5/6)
→ t = 5 × (6/5)
→ t = 6 seconds
→ Time taken to stop = 6 seconds
