Answer:
b. 20 sec
Explanation:
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ g t²
0 = 0 + (100) t + ½ (-10) t²
0 = 100t − 5t²
0 = t (100 − 5t)
t = 0, t = 20
The body lands after 20 seconds.
Here is the answer to your question
a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes. This one isn't bad. The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.
b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No. That's silly.
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity.
c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.
d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.
E, 63% of the value. I forget the rationale behind it but I learnt that in engineering. 90% confident for that answer.
