Answer:
- <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>
Explanation:
For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf
- Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2
Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:
- Average speed = distance / time
Then:
Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:
Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)
Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:
From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s
(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s
- Vf + Vi = 90.634 equation 1
From Vf = Vi + a×t
Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)
- Vf - Vi = 64.876 equation 2
Adding the two equations:
- Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)
Answer:
No
Explanation:
She will not be able to measure the length of her window accurately due to instrumental error from her choice of instrument. The elastic nature of her tape would alter the measurement because it will stretch as she is taking her readings, thus reducing the true measurement of the length of her window.
To measure the length of her window, she could use an inelastic tape rule or a metre rule. These instruments would eliminate instrumental error.
