Distance is a scalar and measured only by units (meters, feet). Position is a vector and depends on where the origin is. It can be negative or positive and has direction.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let t represent the time for Tina to catch David.
Hence, considering the equation of linear motion S = ut + 1/2at^2..... 1
For David u = 28.0 m/s where 'a' is set to nought
S = ut
S = 28t.......2
For Tina consider equation 1
Where acceleration = 2.90m/s^2 and u is set at nought
S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3
Equate 2 and 3
28t = 1.45t^2
Divide through by t
28 = 1.45t
t = 28/1.45
t = 19.31seconds
Now put the value of t into equation 3
S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3
= 1.45×20×20
= 580m
Tina must have driven 580meters before passing David
Considering the equation of linear motion : V^2 = U^2+2as
Where u is set at nought
V^2 = 2as
V^2 = 2×2.9×580
V^2 = 3364
V = √3364
V = 58m/s
Her speed will be 58m/s
Answer:
1 sec
Explanation:
Horizontal distance (x) = 6m
Vertical distance (y) = 1.25m
Hang time is the duration the object is in the air before it reaches maximum height.
The time of free fall is given by
t = √2y/g
g = acceleration due to gravity
t = √(2*1.25)/9.8
t = √2.5/9.8
t = 0.5secs
Hang time = 2*0.5
= 1 sec
Q3. (a) 0m/s, as they are asking for initial velocit.
(b)(i) The paper has a large surface area or weighs less than the coin,thus,falls smoothly.
(ii)The coin has more mass than the paper.
(c) They fall at the same acceleration and hit the bottom at the same time.
Their mass doesn't matter in the vacuum.
Answer:
213 s
Explanation:
Slope is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance.
Slope = vertical height / horizontal height
Therefore:
6.4% = vertical height / 12.42
vertical height = 6.4% * 12.42
vertical height = 0.8 miles
The distance travelled by the car (s) is:
s² = 0.8² + 12.42²
s² = 154.9
s = 12.45 miles
Acceleration (a) = 2.93 ft/s^2 = 0.00055 mile/s²
initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity = 203 mph
Using:
s = ut + 0.5at²
12.45 = 0.5(0.00055)t²
t =213 s
