A. 2.37 m/s ?

1 attachment
Vocaloid:

a) avg speed = distance/time = ?

zarkam21:

oh shoot i divided wrong

zarkam21:

4.13m/s

Vocaloid:

good b) acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time

zarkam21:

(5.3-4)/2=0.65

Vocaloid:

good, units are m/s/s as usual

Vocaloid:

anyway, for c) use equation 3: delta(x) = + v_o * t + (1/2)at^2

zarkam21:

this would be the same riggt

zarkam21:

okay

zarkam21:

so

zarkam21:

delta(x) = + 13* 21.1+ (1/2)(9.8)(12.1)^2

Vocaloid:

you are solving for a (we don't use gravity here since the object is only moving horizontally)

zarkam21:

it meant 12.1

Vocaloid:

delta(x) is distance which is already given

zarkam21:

yeah that's what i thought

zarkam21:

8 =13* 12.1+ (1/2)(a)(12.1)^2

Vocaloid:

god i'm an idiot that's the wrong equation since you aren't given time

Vocaloid:

v^2 = v_o^2 + 2a(deltax) sorry

zarkam21:

so 4

zarkam21:

so 4

zarkam21:

okay

zarkam21:

0=13+2(a)(x)

zarkam21:

well 13^2

Vocaloid:

good, don't forget to plug in delta x and solve for (a)

zarkam21:

-13/16

zarkam21:

-0.81

zarkam21:

0=13+2(a)(8)

zarkam21:

i did this equation with x as the distance given which is 8

Vocaloid:

needs to be 13^2 0=13^2+2(a)(8)

zarkam21:

oh ugghh

zarkam21:

-10.56

Vocaloid:

good units are m/s/s as usual acceleration is negative since he's slowing down

zarkam21:

thanks I'm starting to get better at it now !
