Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration. You're looking for the final velocity. So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root. Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem. If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.

<h3>What is a quantitative research?</h3>

A quantitative research is a systematic scientific investigation of quantitative properties and phenomena and their relationships, using statistical methods.

A quantitative observation has to do with numbers or numeric analysis.

This suggests that the statement that is a quantitative observation is that bird has four different colors on it.

An airplane accelerates from a speed of 88m/s to a speed of 132 m/s during a 15 second time interval. How far did the airplane t

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$1650\:\mathrm{m}$

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematics equations to solve this problem:

$v_f=v_i+at,\\{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta x$ .

Using the first one to solve for acceleration:

$132=88+a(15),\\15a=44,\\a=\frac{44}{15}=2.9\bar{3}\:\mathrm{m/s^2}$ .

Now we can use the second equation to solve for the distance travelled by the airplane:

$132^2=88^2+2\cdot2.9\bar{3}\cdot \Delta x,\\\Delta x= \frac{9680}{2\cdot2.9\bar{3}},\\\Delta x =\fbox{$ 1650\:\mathrm{m}$}$ (three significant figures).
