Answer:
(A) She needs to move the decimal point by 3 places
The impact of the material
type with which the slope is made affects the acceleration. Acceleration will
be higher and smoother if the material of the slope surface is smoother as
opposed to a texture which is not smooth. Smoother surface allows more acceleration
because it will have less friction and resistance. Otherwise the friction will
slow the object down for example a grassy ground will have more friction than a
well maintained marble floor.
The distance you free-fall from rest is D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this
Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²
Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)
Height = (4.9/5.76) meters
Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)
Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change. It's constant. Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.
Answer:
An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
