Do you remember this formula for the distance traveled while accelerated ?
<u>Distance = (initial speed) x (t) plus (1/2) x (acceleration) x (t²)</u>
I think this is exactly what we need for this problem.
initial speed = 20 m/s down
acceleration = 9.81 m/s² down
t = 3.0 seconds
Distance down = (20) x (3) plus (1/2) x (9.81) x (3)²
Distance = (60) plus (4.905) x (9)
Distance = (60) plus (44.145) = 104.145 meters
Choice <em>D)</em> is the closest one.
Answer:
speed will double
Explanation:
Tangential velocity is given by
v=wr
where r is radius and w is rotational velocity. When r is increased to 2R, keeping roational velocity constant, the tangential velocity doubles. Hence unwinding will take place at a twice the rate and the final velocity will be double
