41.5 is the answer that i got. hope this helps!
Rearranging formulas is all about simple algebra rules. Just like when solving for x in an equation, you're just isolating whichever variable you want. I'll work this one out for you and hopefully it'll help, but if you need more explanation, then feel free to comment!
D = ViT + 0.5at² Subtract ViT from both sides
D - ViT = 0.5at² Divide both sides by 0.5t²
I wrote this step out a little more to show how your fraction will cancel
= a I like to flip these around so the single variable is on the right
a =
Answer:
A) 35 ft
B) 5 ft
C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick
Explanation:
A) Total distance covered by the dog = 20 + 15
= 35 ft
B) Since the other distance covered by the dog before chewing the stick, after the retrieval, was in an opposite direction to the initial direction, then;
total displacement of the dog = 20 - 15
= 5 ft
C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick + distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick
But, displacement involves a specified direction. The distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick was in an opposite direction to the initial direction.
Thus,
Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick
