Answer:
- <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>
Explanation:
For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf
- Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2
Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:
- Average speed = distance / time
Then:
Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:
Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)
Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:
From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s
(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s
- Vf + Vi = 90.634 equation 1
From Vf = Vi + a×t
Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)
- Vf - Vi = 64.876 equation 2
Adding the two equations:
- Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)
The force needed to accelerate a vehicle with a mass of 1000kg at a rate of 5m/s2 would be 5000
2000÷330=6.06 repatant so the answer would be about 6.06 seconds
