Answer:
50m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 20m/s
Acceleration = 4m/s²
Time = 10s
Unknown:
Distance traveled by the rocket = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem use the expression below;
v² = u² + 2as
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the distance
final velocity = 0
Insert the parameters and solve;
0² = 20² + 2 x 4 x s
-400 = 8s
s = 50m
Disregard the negative sign because distance cannot be negative.
Answer:
2,54 cm are equal to 1 inch
Explanation:
Doing the conversion:
![55[cm]*\frac{1[inch]}{2,54[cm]} =21,65[inch]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=55%5Bcm%5D%2A%5Cfrac%7B1%5Binch%5D%7D%7B2%2C54%5Bcm%5D%7D%20%3D21%2C65%5Binch%5D)
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.
Here final velocity 
initial velocity
distance
Distance covered in the slowing down phase = 







The car is in the pit stop for 5s 
After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s





total time= 
Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by 
Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time=
Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird
= 
Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.
Use Force=Mass x Acceleration (newtons second law states force is directly proportional to the acceleration) so you can say that the force is negative and solve for Acceleration.
