Use the definition of average acceleration:

<em>a</em> = ∆<em>v</em> / <em>t</em>

If <em>v</em> is the starting speed, then ∆<em>v</em> = 0 - <em>v</em>, so solve for <em>v</em> :

-6.42 m/s² = (0 - <em>v</em>) / (2.85 s)

<em>v</em> = (6.42 m/s²) (2.85 s)

<em>v</em> ≈ 18.3 m/s

A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of
Feliz [49]
The answer is 509 m.

Let point B be 253 m from point A. Let point C be 64 s away from point B.
Let d1 be the displacements from point A to point B and d2 and be the displacements from point B to point C
Step 1. Calculate the displacement from the point B after 64 s.
Step 2. Calculate the displacement from the point A by summing up two distances (d1 and d2).

Step 1.
v = d2/t
v = 4 m/s
d2 = ?
t = 64s
____
4 = d2/64
d2 = 64 * 4 = 256 m


Step 2:
d = d1 + d2
d1 = 253 m
d2 = 256 m
d = 253 + 256 = 509m

A man whose mass is 80kg climbs a staircase in 20 seconds a expends a power of 120 Watt. Find the height of the staircase​
atroni [7]

Answer:

3.06 m

Explanation:

The work done by the man against the gravity is given by

W=Fh cos\theta Where F is the force i.e. weight of the man and h is the displacement and \theta is the angle between displacement and force

Since F=mg and \theta is zero

W = mgh

Also, Work=power* time

Therefore, Power*time=mgh

Substituting power for 120 W, time for 20 seconds, g as 9.81 m/s2 and m as 80 Kg

120*20=80*9.81*h and making he the subject of the formula

h=\frac {120*20}{80*9.81}=3.058103976&#10;

Therefore, the height is approximately 3.06 m
