Answer:
slope = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, I chose two points where the line intersected the graph at an exact point.
Points:
(0, -8)
(4, -7)
Slope is the measure of rise over run, so starting at (0, -8) I went up one and to the right 4 times.
To put this as a fraction, we would have: 1/4
The numerator and denominator are positive because we went up and to the right.
Therefore, the slope is 1/4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Eek! Let's give this a go. Things we know:
acceleration of Bond in free fall is -9.8 m/s/s
velocity of the truck is 25 m/s
displacement Bond will travel when he jumps is -10 m
What we are looking for is the time it will take him to hit the top of the truck, knowing that the truck can travel from one pole to the next in 1 second.
Our displacement equation is
Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²
Filling in we have

Simplifying we get

This is a quadratic that needs to be solved however you personally solve quadratics. When you do that, you find that the times it will take Bond to drop that displacement is either -.37 seconds or 5.47 seconds. Many things in physics can be negative, like velocity and acceleration, but time NEVER will be. So it takes Bond 5.5 seconds to drop to the roof of the moving truck. That means that he needs to jump when the truck is between the 5th and the 6th poles away from him.
Good luck with this!
Cheers!
