How do you work out instantaneous speed?

Physics
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
7 0
To calculate instantaneous speed, we need to divide part of the total distance traveled by time. However, we don't want to use the distance of the entire trip, because that will give us average speed.

An airplane awaiting departure is cleared to takeoff, its accelerates down a runway at 3.20m/ s2 for 32.8s until it finally lift
stich3 [128]

The final velocity before takeoff is 104.96 m / s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The last velocity of a given object over some time defines the final velocity. The final velocity of the object is given by the product of acceleration and time and adding this product to the initial velocity.

To calculate the final velocity,

                          V = u + at

where v represents the final velocity,

           u represents the initial velocity,

           a represents the acceleration

            t represents the time taken.

                            v = 0 + (3.20)\times( 32.8)

                            v   = 104.96 m / s.

<span>3. The attempt at a solution So basically what I did was divided into components. x: (3)(2000) = (3000)*v_x y: (v_vw)*(10000) = (3000)*v_y v_x, v_y is the velocity (after collision) in the x and y direction, respectively, of both cars stuck together (since it is an inelastic collision). v_vw is the initial velocity of the Volkswagen. Now what I did was that the angle is 35 degrees north of east. So basically made a triangle and figured that tan(35) = (v_y)/(v_x). This means (v_x)*(tan35) = v_y. Then, I simplified the component equations to get: x: 2 = v_x y: v_vw = 3*v_y Then plugging in for v_y, I got: v_vw = 3(2)(tan35) = 4.2 m/s as the velocity of the volkswagen. However, the answer key says 8.6 m/s. Could someone please help me out? Thanks Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories on Phys.org • Game over?
