acceleration = change in velocity/change in time

so...

a = 20 m/s / 2 seconds

a = 10

hope that helps :)

A person walks the path shown below. The total trip consists of four straight-line paths.

dmitriy555 [2]

At the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

<h3>What is resultant displacement?</h3>

The resultant displacement of an object is the change in position of the object. It can be described as the shortest distance connecting the final position of the object to the initial position of the object.

<h3>Net horizontal displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 40 m

Path 2 = 0 m

Path 3 = 110 m x cos(30) = 95.26 m

Path 4 = 180 m x cos(60) = 90 m

Total horizontal displacement, X = 40 m + 0 m + 95.26 m + 90 m = 225.26 m

<h3>Net vertical displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 0 m

Path 2 = 230 m

Path 3 = 110 m x sin(30) = 55 m

Path 4 = 180 m x sin(60) = 155.885 m

Total horizontal displacement, Y = 0 m + 230 m + 55 m + 155.885 m = 440.885 m

<h3>Resultant displacement</h3>

R = √(X² + Y²)

R = √(225.26² + 440.885²)

R = 495.1 m

<h3>Direction of the displacement</h3>

θ = arc tan (Y/X)

θ = arc tan (440.885/225.26)

θ = 63⁰

Thus, at the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

A rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. It strikes the ground 1.7 s

insens350 [35]

Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m$

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

A passenger train left station A at 6:00 p.m. Moving with the average speed 45 mph, it arrived at station B at 10:00 p.m. A tran

marishachu [46]

<h2>Average speed of transit train is 60 mph</h2>

Explanation:

Average speed of passenger train = 45 mph

Time taken from station A to station B for passenger train = 10:00 - 6:00 = 4 hours

Distance between station A to station B = 45 x 4 = 180 miles.

Time taken from station A to station B for transit train = 4 - 1 = 3 hours

Distance between station A to station B = Average speed of transit train x Time taken from station A to station B for transit train

180 = Average speed of transit train x 3

Average speed of transit train = 60 mph

Average speed of transit train is 60 mph

classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 128 feet per

ddd [48]

Answer:

$t_1 = 0.28 s$

$t_2 = 7.72 s$

Explanation:

Given that height of the projectile as a function of time is

$h = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112$

here we know that

h = 147 ft

so from above equation

$147 = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112$

$16 t^2 - 128 t + 35 = 0$

now by solving above quadratic equation we know that

$t_1 = 0.28 s$

$t_2 = 7.72 s$
