Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}

t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s

Check

t_{2}=8s

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}

x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16

Which quantity below is a derived quantity?
Reil [10]

By definition, the speed of an object is given by:

v = \frac{dr}{dt}

Where,

dr/dt: derived from the position with respect to time

Therefore, speed has units of length over units of time.

Thus, speed is a derived quantity, since it depends on the value of two other quantities.

Answer:

a derived quantity is:

C. Speed

Answer:

I got you.. i'm in middle school and had that same question.

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The vertical distance traveled is

s = 25 m

The initial vertical launch velocity is zero.

Therefore

s = (1/2)*g*t²

where g = 9.8 m/s²

t = the time of flight, s

That is,

0.5*9.8*t² = 25

t² = 25/4.9 = 5.102

t = 2.26 s

Answer: 2.26 s
