Alex is driving at 21.2508882 miles per hour
Answer:
20.96 m/s
Explanation:
Apply the kinematic equation:
Vf=Vi+at
Vi=8m/s
a=1.8m/s^2
t=7.2s
Putting this all in should give you your answer of 12.96m/s
To solve letter a:
d1 = 85t1 = 16 km,
85t1 = 16,
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min.
d2 = 115t2 = 16 km,
115t2 = 16,
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min.
t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min.
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.
To solve letter b:
15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h.
d1 = d2,
115t = 85(t + 0.25),
115t = 85t + 21.25,
115t - 85t = 21.25,
30t = 21.25,
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h,
d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.
Answer:
37.125 m
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion
s=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is distance, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration
<u>Distance during acceleration</u>
Acceleration, a=\frac {V_{final}-V_{initial}}{t} where V_{final} is final velocity and V_{initial} is initial velocity.
Substituting 0.0 m/s for initial velocity and 4.5 m/s for final velocity, acceleration will be
a=\frac {4.5 m/s-0 m/s}{4.5 s}=1 m/s^{2}
Then substituting u for 0 m/s, t for 4.5 s and a for 1 m/s^{2} into the equation of motion
s=0*4.5+ 0.5*1*4.5^{2}=0+10.125
=10.125 m
<u>Distance at a constant speed</u>
At a constant speed, there's no acceleration and since speed=distance/time then distance is speed*time
Distance=4.5 m/s*6 s=27 m
<u>Total distance</u>
Total=27+10.125=37.125 m
Answer:
Explanation:
Since this is a distance v time graph, the slope of the line from 1s to 3s is the velocity. However, it looks like, at t=3, the velocity is 0, so getting the definite velocity is not going to happen. We can estimate it as closely as possible. Since the line is tending from the upper left to the lower right, the slope is negative, so the velocity is also negative. That leaves only C or D as our answers. And the slope is closer to -1 than to -5, so choice D. is the one you want.
