The formula PE(Potential Energy)= mgh
... the angular tilt of the Earth's position on its axis relative to the sun
The distance from mile-mark 10 to mile-mark 115 is (115-10) = 105 miles.
Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .
Speed = (105 miles) / (1.75 hours)
Speed = (105/1.75) (mi/hr)
<em>Speed = 60 mph</em> (B)
Velocity adds direction to speed; it is the rate of travel in a particular direction. To calculate velocity, divide distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance and add direction. If one's position does not change, velocity is zero.
Answer:
17.1
Explanation:
The distance ahead, of the deer when it is sighted by the park ranger, d = 20 m
The initial speed with which the ranger was driving, u = 11.4 m/s
The acceleration rate with which the ranger slows down, a = (-)3.80 m/s² (For a vehicle slowing down, the acceleration is negative)
The distance required for the ranger to come to rest, s = Required
The kinematic equation of motion that can be used to find the distance the ranger's vehicle travels before coming to rest (the distance 's'), is given as follows;
v² = u² + 2·a·s
∴ s = (v² - u²)/(2·a)
Where;
v = The final velocity = 0 m/s (the vehicle comes to rest (stops))
Plugging in the values for 'v', 'u', and 'a', gives;
s = (0² - 11.4²)/(2 × -3.8) = 17.1
The distance the required for the ranger's vehicle to com to rest, s = 17.1 (meters).
