Answer:
- 7.5s
- 1.6666 repeating or 1.67 m/s²
Explanation:
- the equation you have to use is Vfinal=Vstart+acceleration•time
(I'm gonna simplify to Vf=Vs+at)
- so you gotta rework it for the two equations
- for the first equation you need time so take Vf=Vs+at and subtract Vs on both sides to get Vf–Vs=at
- then divide acceleration on both sides to get t=(Vf–Vs)/a
- for the second problem equation need the equation a=(Vf–Vs)/t (just divide time on both sides instead of acceleration)
- so you the plug in
(I don't put the units in to the problem unless needed)
1. t=(Vf–Vs)/a to t=(0–30)/-4.0
2. a=(Vf–Vs)/t to a=(10–0)/6.0
(I'm assuming the that for number two they started at rest so it would be 0m/s for velocity start)
