Answer:
Answer D : about 1067 meters
Explanation:
There are two steps to this problem:
1) First find the time it takes the plane to stop using the equation for the acceleration:
Where Vf is the final velocity of the plane (in our case: zero )
Vi is the initial velocity of the plane (in our case: 80 m/s)
is the acceleration (in our case -3 m/s^2 - notice negative value because the velocity is decreasing)
with units corresponding to seconds given the quantities involved in the calculation.
2) Second knowing the time it took the plane to stop, now use that time in the equation for the distance traveled under accelerated motion:
Where the answer results in units of meters given the quantities used in the calculation.
We round this to 1067 meters
Answer:
The acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2 (down) when the ball is falling.
Explanation:
The ball at maximum height has velocity zero
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² (positive downward and negative upward)
The accleration 9.8 m/s² will always be acting on the body in opposite direction when the body is going up and in the same direction when the body is going down. The acceleration on the body will never be zero
