<u>We are Given:</u>
Mass of the block (m) = 500 grams or 0.5 Kg
Initial velocity of the block (u) = 0 m/s
Distance travelled by the block (s) = 8 m
Time taken to cover 8 m (t)= 2 seconds
Acceleration of the block (a) = a m/s²
<u>Solving for the acceleration:</u>
From the seconds equation of motion:
s = ut + 1/2* (at²)
<em>replacing the variables</em>
8 = (0)(2) + 1/2(a)(2)²
8 = 2a
a = 4 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4 m/s²
You have done something incorrectly. such as your data.
Since its a sphere, the top is seen first because its the tallest part if the ship. If the earth was flat, the whole ship would be seen.
The formula we need to use is displacement.
, where xf is final position and xi is initial position.
We report the final position of 5 and the displacement of 2 so the formula is now:
.
So the initial position of truck A is 3.
Hope this helps.
