I believe the best example of Newton's First Law of motion would be the example or illustration with the basketball player. An object will move in a straight line or a given direction at a constant speed unless or until another force acts upon the object, causing a change in speed and or direction.
Answer:
e) 120m/s
Explanation:
When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning
.
where
is the initial velocity.
Solving for
we get
which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.
Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time
since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity
it has gained is
,
and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity
; therefore,

which gives

Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity
is


This
, we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,

and solving for
we get:



which from the options given is choice e.
When Jane is sliding down a slide, she is demonstrating translational motion.
You start by writing down your parameters;
u=60m/s
v=0
t=8s
So acceleration(a)=v-u/t
=0-60/8
=-60/8
=-7.5m/s
To the nearest hundredth will be
-7.5*100
=-750m/s
