Answer:

20 seconds.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance = 10 m

Speed = 0.5 m/s

Time =...?

The speed of an object is simply defined as the distance travelled by the object per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can obtain the time taken for the ball to travel a distance of 10 m as shown below:

Distance = 10 m

Speed = 0.5 m/s

Time =...?

Speed = Distance /time

0.5 = 10/time

Cross multiply

0.5 × time = 10

Divide both side by 0.5

Time = 10/0.5

Time = 20 secs.

Therefore, it will take 20 seconds for the ball to travel a distance of 10 m.

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function 5 − 10t m/s2 . (a) What is the velocity function? (b) What is the p

frez [133]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function as :

$a(t)=(5-10t)\ m/s^2$

(a) Since, $a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

v = velocity

$dv=a.dt$

$v=\int(a.dt)$

$v=\int(5-10t)(dt)$

$v=5t-\dfrac{10t^2}{2}=5t-5t^2$

(b) $v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

x = position

$x=\int v.dt$

$x=\int (5t-5t^2)dt$

$x=\dfrac{5}{2}t^2-\dfrac{5}{3}t^3$

(c) Velocity function is given by :

$v=5t-5t^2$

$5t-5t^2=0$

t = 1 seconds

So, at t = 1 second the velocity of the particle is zero.

An observer sees a flower pot sail up and then back down past a window 2.45 m high. If the total time the pot is in the sight is

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: 2.55meter

Explanation: Using the second equation of motion.

S{hieght} = U*t + {g*t²}/2

Where U is initial velocity =0m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity 10m/s²

t is time 1secs

So we have,

hieght = 0 + {g*t²}/2

hieght = {10*(1)²}/2

Total hieght travelled is 10/2

Which is 5 meter.

But we are asked to find the hieght above the window which as a hieght of 2.45meter.

So,

hieght above window would be

{5 - 2.45}meter

Which is 2.55 meter.
