More questions. Hope you can answer this. First one to answer gets Best answer.

1. A car started from a rest and accelerated at 9.54m/s square for 6.5 seconds. How much distance was covered by the car?

2. A paper airplane is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 20 mph. The plane is in the air for 7.43 seconds before coming to a stand still on the ground. What is the acceleration on the plane?

3. A pile driver drops from a height of 35 meters before landing on a piling. What is the speed of the driver when it hit the piling?

Thx again so much, if you guys can answer these questions.!

  1. the answer are here take....

    1)    you should know the formula. speed = distance / time.

           in the above question, Speed = 9.54 m/s square. & Time =  6.5 s

        9.54 = distance / 6.5   ( we must have the variable on 1 side and    

                                             the constants on the other )

        9.54 * 6.5 = distance

        therefore, Distance = 62.01

    2)          the formula for acceleration is ( acceleration = change in  

                                                               velocity / time taken )

                 In this question, velocity = 20mph    &    time = 7.43s

                       according to the formula, velocity and time is give.

      

                   thus acceleration = 20 / 7.43

                                             = 2.692 ( round of to 3 significant digits )

    3)            the question is not clear, because to find out the speed, we must have 2 values given. but in this case, only the distance is given, and not the time.

    thank you

    by the way i deserve that 10 points.

    c ya

    byee...

        


  2. 1. D= V_initial*t + (1/2)a*t^2

    2. A = (v2-v1)/t

    3. You can use conservation of energy to solve this:

    Eg(initial) + Ek(initial) = Eg(final)+Ek(final)

    m(9.81)(35) + 0 = 0 + 1/2m*v^2

    Solve for V. You will notice the masses cancel out of your equation. To you this should make sense because objects - no matter the mass - accelerate to the ground at the same rate: that of the acceleration due to gravity.

    I will not give you the answers. You can do that yourself.

  3. acceleration is measures in m/s/s

    i can't actually help u i just like picking up on technicalities!
