Answer:

<em>The distance covered is 5250 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The change of velocities is given by the following equation :

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

Solving [1] for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The car changes its speed from vo=54 Km/h to vf=72 Km/h in t=5 minutes. Let's convert all to meters and seconds.

vo=54 Km/h * 1000/3600 = 15 m/s

vf=72 Km/h * 1000/3600 = 20 m/s

t = 5 min * 60 = 300 s

Now we calculate the acceleration:

\displaystyle a=\frac{20-15}{300}

\displaystyle a=\frac{5}{300}

a=0.0167\ m/s^2

Now for the distance:

\displaystyle x=15*300+\frac{0.0167*300^2}{2}

\displaystyle x=4500+750=5250

x = 5250 m

Note: <u>We have shown only some of the decimals for the acceleration, but we have used all the decimals stored in the calculator to present accurate results.</u>

The distance covered is 5250 meters

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.75 m/s. If the roof is pitched at
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

a) t = 0.528 s

b) D = 1.62 m

Explanation:

given,

speed of the baseball = 3.75 m/s

angle made with the horizontal = 35°

height of the roof edge = 2.5 m

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

2.5 = vsin\theta \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

2.5 = 3.75\ sin35^0 \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2

4.9 t² + 2.15 t - 2.5 = 0

on solving the above equation

t = 0.528 s

b) D = v cos θ × t

D = 3.75 × cos 35° ×0.528

D = 1.62 m
