Given parameters:
Speed of car = 50m/s
Time of travel = 5minutes (300s)
Unknown;
Distance of travel = ?
To solve this problem, we need to understand how speed relates with distance and time.
Speed is a physical quantity. It is the distance traveled divided by time taken.
Speed =
So,
Distance = speed x time
Input the parameters and solve for the distance;
Distance = 50m/s x 300s
Distance = 15000m
The distance covered during this time interval and speed is 15000m
Answers:
A) 0.204 m
B) 0.285 s
Explanation:
<h2>Answer A:</h2>This described situation is free fall, this means the initial velocity of the fly is zero, and the equation that will be used is:
(1)
Where:
is the final height of the fly
is the initial height of the fly
is the initial velocity of the fly
is the time
is the acceleration due to gravity
(2)
(3) This is the distance at which the fly would begin to beat its wings
<h2>Answer B:</h2>
In this part we will also use equation (1), but we will find the time:
(1)
Where:
is the final height of the fly
is the initial height of the fly
is the initial velocity of the fly
is the time we need to find
is the acceleration due to gravity
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6) This is the time it would take for a fly to hit the bottom of the box
