Answer:

0.96 m

Explanation:

First, convert km/h to m/s.

162.3 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 45.08 m/s

Now find the time it takes to move 20 m horizontally.

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

20 m = (45.08 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

t = 0.4436 s

Finally, find how far the ball falls in that time.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (0.4436 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (0.4436 s)²

Δy = -0.96 m

The ball will have fallen 0.96 meters.

You drive your car for 2.0 h at 40.0 km/h then for 2.0 h at 60.0 km/h what is your average velocity?
Verdich [7]
In order to calculate velocity, we'd need to know the straight-line distance between the start and the finish, and we'd also need the direction of that line.  The best we can do with the information given in the question is calculate the average SPEED.

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Distance covered in the first 2 hours = (2 hr) x (40 km/hr) = 80 km.
Distance covered in the second 2 hours = (2 hr) x (60 km/hr) = 120 km.

Total distance covered = (80 + 120) = 200 km
Time to cover the distance = (2 + 2) = 4 hours

Average speed = (200 km) / (4 hours)  =  50 km/hour
