<span>The lowest point in Death Valley is 85 m below sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m. </span>
Well the trivial answer is zero, since there is indeed a "zero vector". Assuming you aren't allowed to use the zero vector you would need at least two. They would be antiparallel and of equal magnitude. (That is be pointing in opposite directions and have the same length)
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .
v = u + a t
20 = 0 + 2 t
t = 20 /2 = 10 s .
Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .
b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time
Distance travelled in first 10 s
S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²
= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²
= 100 m
Distance travelled in next 20 s
S₂= 20s x 20 m/s = 400 m
Distance travelled in last 5 s .
deceleration in last 5 s
v = u + at
0 = 20 m/s + a x 5
a = - 4 m/s²
v² = u² - 2 a s
0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s
s = 50 m
S₃ = 50 m
Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃
= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m
= 550 m .
Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s
= 15.71 m /s .
