The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

The given parameters;

initial velocity of the train, u = 6.4 m/s
acceleration of the train, a = 0.1 m/s²
distance traveled, s = 100 m

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

v² = (6.4)² + (2 x 0.1 x 100)

v² = 60.96

v = √60.96

v = 7.81 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

A ball rolls across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to its velocity. The ball has a velocity

Westkost [7]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

Its given that acceleration is 0.1 m/s² with a direction opposite to the velocity. Since, the direction of acceleration is opposite to the velocity, this gives us a hint that the velocity is decreasing and so acceleration would be negative.

i.e.

acceleration = a = - 0.1 m/s²

Distance covered = S = 6m

Velocity after covering 6 meters = Final velocity = $v_{f}$ = 4 m/s

We need to find the initial speed, which will be the same as the magnitude of initial velocity.

Initial velocity = $v_{i}$ = ?

3rd equation of motion relates the acceleration, distance, final velocity and initial velocity as:

$2aS = (v_{f})^{2}-(v_{i})^{2}$

Using the known values in the formula, we get:

$2(-0.1)(6)=(4)^{2}- (v_{i})^{2}\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=16+1.2\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=17.2\\\\ v_{i}=4.15$

Thus, the initial speed of the ball was 4.15 m/s

A car travel with a constant velocity of 20.5m/s for 20seconds what distance does it cover in this time ?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

410 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.5 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 20 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (20.5 m/s) (20 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (20 s)²

Δx = 410 m
