Answer:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with origin at the hand of the girl the moment she releases the ball. We assume her hand will be in the same position when she catches it again. The positive X axis point upwards.The ball will be subject to a constant gravitational acceleration of -9.81 m/s^2.

We use the equation for position under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

X0 = 0 because it is at the origin of the coordinate system.

We know that at t = 2, the position will be zero.

X(2) = 0 = V0 * 2 + 1/2 * -9.81 * 2^2

0 = 2 * V0 - 4.9 * 4

2 * V0 = 19.6

V0 = 9.8 m/s

Then the position of the ball as a function of time is:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

Answer:

While a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to immediate surroundings.

A body is said to be in uniform motion if it covers equal distances in equal interval of time.

A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if it covers unequal distances in equal interval of time or vice-versa

A car stops in 130 m. If it has an acceleration of -5 m/s2 what was the cars starting velocity?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

displacement (s) = 130 m

acceleration (a) = -5 m/s²

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s      [the cars 'stops' in 130 m]

initial velocity (u) = u m/s

<u>Solving for initial velocity:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(0)² - (u)² = 2(-5)(130)

-u² = -1300

u² = 1300

u = √1300

u = 36 m/s
