An object accelerating at constant acceleration (a) has an initial velocity v0 (at t=0), a velocity v at time t, and goes a particular distance d or x - x0 during the time interval. Derive the expression relating v0, v, a, and d (or x-x0). The relation must not include time. You may use either algebra or calculus.
An object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 17.3 m/s from a location where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude g = 9.79
m/s². Assuming it moves in "free fall", the object moves upward what distance before starting to return downward? Give your answer, in
meters, with appropriate significant figures.
Assume you are driving a car at a constant speed of 76 km/h. Suddenly you see a deer standing on the highway and you must put on the brakes. Your reaction time (time elapsed between the moment you see the deer and your foot hitting the brakes) is 0.118 s. The brakes provide an acceleration with a magnitude of 4 m/s2, and a direction opposite the initial velocity.
How do you find the total distance traveled?
