Answer:
v=10.75m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Pete drives 215 Meters in 20 seconds. He is driving down 7th floor. We need to find his speed.
Speed = distance/time
⇒
Hence, the speed of Pete is 10.75 m/s.

A) Zero
The motion of the shot is a projectile's motion: this means that there is only one force acting on the projectile, which is gravity. However, gravity only acts in the vertical direction: so, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the x-component of the acceleration is zero.
B) -9.8 m/s^2
The vertical acceleration is given by the only force acting in the vertical direction, which is gravity:
where m is the projectile's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. Therefore, the y-component of the shot's acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity:
where the negative sign means it points downward.
C) 7.6 m/s
The x-component of the shot's velocity is given by:
where
is the initial velocity
is the angle of the shot
Substituting into the equation, we find
D) 9.3 m/s
The y-component of the shot's velocity is given by:
where
is the initial velocity
is the angle of the shot
Substituting into the equation, we find
E) 7.6 m/s
We said at point A) that the acceleration along the x-direction is zero: therefore, the velocity along the x-direction does not change, so the x-component of the velocity at the end of the trajectory is equal to the x-velocity at the beginning:
F) -11.1 m/s
The y-component of the velocity at time t is given by:
where
is the initial y-velocity
a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the vertical acceleration
t is the time
Since the total time of the motion is t=2.08 s, we can substitute this value into the equation, and we find:
where the negative sign means the vertical velocity is now downward.
