Hope this helps! Mark as brainliest if liked thanks!

Explanation:

Your reasoning that the shadow is the shortest at mid-day is spot-on!

The wording of the question is the key to the answer. It says that the measurements were made in Summer. So this means that British Summer Time (BST) is being applied. BST is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and so what looks like 1pm is really 12 noon.

The safest sort of answer is to say that the shadow is shortest when the sun is at its highest point, and in this particular question that is at 1 pm because it is BST.

a baseball player is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 200 feet per hour. When he decides to hit the dirt. he slides for

Serggg [28]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.

$V_f_x = V_0_x + a_xt$

The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.

The time until it stops is 1.3 s

The initial speed is 200 feet / s Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)

Then, we clear the formula.

$a_x = \frac{(Vfx-V0x)}{t}\\ a_x = \frac{(0-200)}{1.3}\\ a_x = -153.5 ft / s ^ 2$

Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.

To answer part b) we use the following formula.

$Vf ^ 2 = Vo ^ 2 + 2a * (x_2 - x_1)\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(V_f ^ 2-V_0 ^ 2)}{2a}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(0-200 ^ 2)}{- 2 * 153.5}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= 130.29 feet$
