Question

A jet ski accelerates towards a ramp at 2.5 m/s/s for 35 s until it finally flies off the water. Determine the

Answer 1

Answer:

1531 m

Explanation:

The motion of the jet ski is an uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the distance travelled by using the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the jet ski in this problem,

$a=2.5 m/s^2$

t = 35 s

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$d=0+\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(35)^2=1531 m$
