<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>
Explanation:
The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.
In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:
(1)
Where:
is the instrument's final position
is the instrument's initial position
is the instrument's initial velocity
is the time the parabolic movement lasts
is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.
As we know and
when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:
(2)
Finding :
(3)
(4)
(5)
Finally:
The formula for velocity vf = vi + at
First list your given information
2m/s Is your initial velocity (vi)
6m/s is you final velocity (vf)
2 seconds is your time (t)
Since you want the a for acceleration get a by itself
a = (vf-vi)/t
So a= (6-2)/2
a= 4/2
a=2
Now units
the units for acceleration are m/s
2m/s
First list your given information
2m/s Is your initial velocity (vi)
6m/s is you final velocity (vf)
2 seconds is your time (t)
Since you want the a for acceleration get a by itself
a = (vf-vi)/t
So a= (6-2)/2
a= 4/2
a=2
Now units
the units for acceleration are m/s
2m/s
