Answer:
Explanation:
From the position coordinates given , it appears that the ball moves simultaneously along x and y direction.
Displacement along x direction in one second = 4.4 - 1.8 = 2.6 m
So velocity along x direction V_x =
Similarly velocity along y direction V_y(1) =
In the next phase velocity changes both in x and y direction.
velocity in x - direction V_x(2) = [tex]\frac{2}{s}[/tex
Velocity in Y- direction V_y(2) = [tex]\frac{3.1}{s}[/tex
Acceleration in x direction = change of velocity in x direction
= ( 2 - 2.6 ) = -.6 m s⁻²
Acceleration in y direction = ( 3.1 - 2.6 ) = 0.5 m s⁻²
Total acceleration =\sqrt{( -.6 )² + ( .5 )²}
= .78 ms⁻²
