Answer:
D, using a spring scale to exert a force on the block. Measure the acceleration of the block and the applied force
Explanation:
For this you would use the net force equation acceleration=net force * mass however you will want to isolate mass so it would be acceleration/ net force to get mass. Then process of elimination comes to play.
12.00 min = 0.2 hr
8.00 min = 0.15 hr
Total distance:
(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) + (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)
= 8.25 km
Average speed:
(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr + 20.0 km/hr) / 3
= 15 km/hr
Change in position:
(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) - (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)
= 0.25 km
Average velocity:
(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr - 20.0 km/hr) / 3
≈ 1.67 m/s
-17.555m/s
first I found the time it took for jacks stone to reach the bottom, using the formula vf = vi + at, vf and vi are final and initial velocities.
then i found the velocity at 6.6m using vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad
and I found the time it took to get to 6.6m, so that I knew how long Jill waited to throw her stone, I used the formula d = t(vi+vf)/2, then i done total time - the time she waited, to get the time it took for there stones to hit the ground at the same time.
then to find the initial velocity of her throw I used the formula d = vit + (at^2)/2
