equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or should i do it like this...

@carmuz

OpenStudy (carmuz):

Make a = 7/6 m/s (as a simple fraction, not decimal) and you will get exactly 105m.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Why did you do 1.2 anyway? You are looking for acceleration

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm 1.16 is correct btw \(slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

but in this case, you're expected to use "6 significant digits"

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \cfrac{7}{6}\to \begin{array}{llll} \underline{1.166666}66666666666667\\ \qquad \uparrow \\ \textit{round that to 6 digits} \end{array}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay and my next answer would be 105m with no decimals correct?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm well \(\large \cfrac{7}{6}\to \begin{array}{llll} \underline{{\color{green}{ 1.166666}}}66666666666667\\ \qquad \uparrow \\ \textit{round that to 6 digits} \end{array}\implies {\color{green}{ 1.66667}}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm wait... you're asked to round the distance.. shoot

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm what's 105m again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

105meters that's for the second part asking how far did it travel in time.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm what's the "constant acceleration" you found again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i got 1.16m/s^2 for the first and for the second 105m

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that look about right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmmm so..... 6 significant digits for 105m will be \(105.\underline{000}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i'll see thanks jdoe
