Answer:
Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s
Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2
Explanation:
Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.
Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)
Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.
Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)
Where;
v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.
And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.
Given;
t1 = 3.0s
t2 = 20.0s
v1 = 11 m/s
v2 = 45 m/s
x1 = 25 m
x2 = 385 m
Substituting the values;
Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)
v = (385-25)/(20-3)
v = 21.18 m/s
Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)
a = (45-11)/(20-3)
a = 2 m/s^2
Answer:
The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.
Given parameters:
Speed of the car = 50m/s
Time = 10s
Unknown:
Distance traveled before the car stopped = ?
We need to establish speed - time - distance relationship.
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is a scalar quantity .
Mathematically;
Speed =
Distance = speed x time
Input the parameters and solve;
Distance = 50 x 10 = 500m
The car traveled 500m before it stopped.
